Re Categories;

Sexual offences, can include Indecent Assault and Unlawful (under age) intercourse and Indecent exposure. There are of course more serious sexual offences but if they occur  as a random attack or in the open police would make public aware and carry out local enquiries.

Violence against person includes a range of offences from minor offences such as harassment and common assault, to serious offences such as murder, actual bodily harm and grievous bodily harm. Again if a major crime police would make public aware.

Burglary is the theft, or attempted theft, from a premises where access is not authorised. Damage to a premises that appears to have been caused by a person attempting to enter to commit a burglary, is also counted as burglary.

Criminal Damage. Where property is intentionally destroyed or damaged, not necessarily to gain entry to premises or a vehicle. Minor types include: Criminal damage to dwelling. Criminal damage to motor vehicle. Criminal damage to other building. Other criminal damage.

Theft…. can be from a motor vehicle. Theft from shops. Theft person. Theft/taking of motor vehicle. Theft/taking of pedal cycle.

Anti-social behaviour is defined as someone acting in a manner that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more people not living in the same household as the perpetrator. 

There are different ways to report anti-social behaviour based on the nature of the behaviour. 

What to report to your local policing team:

  • if the anti-social behaviour is affecting your quality of life or making you fear for your safety or the safety of others
