1. Rural Crime Performance Information 8 September 2015

2. Total Crime (Rural and Non-Rural) 1 st August 2012 to 31 st July 2015 Rural total crime remains within the control lines but the higher crime levels first seen in March, have continued. CDI has contributed to this but volumes have not been impacted by festivals Non-rural total crime has been on an upward trend since October 2014 (around the time CDI started), has exceeded the UCL since March and continues to rise The rural crime spikes each August can be attributed to Boomtown, whilst the spikes each September are due to Bestival (whose beat location is now classed as rural) Although rural total crime is within the control lines, during July the UCL was breached in five sub crime categories: VAP with injury VAP without injury Serious sexual offences Arson Public order These sub categories also breached the UCL for non-rural crimes, along with possession of weapons and miscellaneous crimes against society

3. Total Crime (Rural excluding Boomtown and Bestival) 1 st August 2012 to 31 st July 2015 When Boomtown and Bestival are removed from total crime in rural beats, the trend since March follows a very similar pattern to that for non-rural beats. April saw a small reduction but has been followed by increases in recent months, with crime levels exceeding the upper control limit

4. Total Crime (Rural and Non-Rural) 1 st April to 31 st July Comparisons Comparing April to July 2015, to the same period last year, total crime in rural beats is up by 34.2%, against an increase of 38.4% for non-rural The increases in violent crimes, sexual offences and theft offences are slightly higher for rural beats and are also up for public order offences. All other crime types have seen smaller increases than those experienced in the non-rural beats Within theft offences, non-dwelling burglary has risen by 16.9% in rural beats, compared to a 3.2% increase in non-rural beats. Shoplifting has risen by 18.8% in rural beats but fallen by 5.8% in non-rural areas. Vehicle offences have seen a smaller increase in rural beats, 13.5% compared to a 27.5% rise in non-rural beats Violence against the person and public order offences are the main crime types to have been impacted by CDI

5. Outcomes (Rural and Non-Rural) 1 st April to 31 st July 2015 Outcomes by group (shown as a percentage of all crime) The FAT outcome rate for rural beats this year to date is 14%, (a reduction on 21% achieved year to July 2014) compared to 20% for non-rural beats (year to July 2014 was 29%) The proportion of ‘Victim Based’ NFAs is lower for rural beats than non-rural (19% compared to 21%), but is higher for ‘Investigation Based’ NFAs (55% compared to 47%) CAVEAT: It is difficult to compare one year against another for outcomes because if an outcome is amended on an occurrence that was validated last year, the outcome will no longer be reflected in last year’s figures. This year’s figures will now be impacted by the change
