Crimes of Violence: Altrincham

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many crimes of violence against the person were recorded in Altrincham and Sale West constituency in each of the last five years.

Answer: Statistics are not collected specifically on a constituency basis. The Home Office does publish statistics at crime and disorder reduction partnership (CDRP) area level. The number of offences of violence against the person for each of the last five years by CDRP is available on the Home Office website at:"http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs08/cdrpog.xls"Also available is a look-up table that identifies which constituencies are associated with CDRPs. In many instances, a CDRP may comprise of more than one constituency. Conversely, some constituencies will come within two or more CDRPs, either wholly or partially. The look-up table is available at:"http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs08/cdrp-constituency-table.xls"Copies of both the statistics table and the look-up table are available in the Library.
