13 March 2013 19:34220248Still these figures are insignificant compared to other urban centres"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage" - Laozi - 13 March 2013 19:36220250we are a very low crime town, anti social behaviour is another thing altogether but suspect we are not as bad as the majority.
i bet that margate has a much higher rate than us in both categories. - 13 March 2013 19:44220251The fact that they are increasing should be a concern, early days of having no working Police Station and local officers.Audere est facere.
- 13 March 2013 20:02220254those figures are not comparative in any way martin just a snapshot. since the prime minister in waiting became home secretary burglary rates have rocketed with the herberts knowing that there is little chance of being caught.
watch car, house and contents insurance premiums soar. - 13 March 2013 20:11220257Dover Express tomorrow highlighting the 25% increase in Burglarys in Dover, when I first saw it I thought it said Bulgarians, now that would have started a storm
Audere est facere. - 13 March 2013 20:18220259don't go worrying about the bulgarians martin, i have it on good authority that plans are in place to concrete over all the village greens in east kent so that caravans can be put there to house them.
hope that has put your mind at rest. - 13 March 2013 21:02220264
Keeps politics to myself - 14 March 2013 08:13220286You do make me smile Howard.

If we treated anti-social behaviour as criminal, and if we could be arsed to report it to the police and get a crime reference number, then the picture might be different. Until we do, nothing will change.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson - Keith Sansum1

14 March 2013 08:33220300Peter you are correct
and its how you use figures
of course Dover isnt as bad as some other towns/citys
but anti social behaviour can be just as bad to some residentsALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 14 March 2013 08:34220301Some of the anti-social behaviour is criminal Peter - at least to many/most of the victims of it.
Roger - 14 March 2013 08:38220306My experience has been that if you report ant-social behaviour the police are very reluctant to log it formally and give a crime number. Some years ago I was pelted with hard packed snow/ice balls by yobs at the 5-ways junction on Maison Dieu Road. I reported it as an assault and got the bum's rush until I threatened to make a complaint, eventually getting a crime number. It was not pursued so it remained as an unsolved crime statistic.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson

14 March 2013 08:39220307I think the point Peter makes is people have lost faith and dont bother reporting it
thus the figures are not true to what is actually happening out thereALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 14 March 2013 09:05220317What with the tie-in here to self-serving, uncaring, incompetent local politicians and the many similarities around the country in matters of change and disgruntlement, I post this below... [it was to be either here or under 'Apathy'...enjoy]
"I read with interest your feature looking at the impact of eastern European migrants in a part of Southampton I am intimately connected with ('It's like you're not in Britain' - anxiety grows on the streets of Little Poland, 7 March). I was born and raised in the Freemantle neighbourhood, and 50 years on I find myself as an elected ward councillor for the area. A few weeks ago I attended a coffee morning hosted by Alan Whitehead, the local MP, and attended by residents (including many traditional Labour voters). A major area of concern was their sense of a "loss of identity".
While some of this anxiety can be attributed to the recent and rapid growth in the number of east European migrants and a proliferation of Slavic convenience stores, there are other important associated factors. These include: the loss of community pubs and their conversion to "local" convenience stores owned by the large supermarket chains; the conversion of many semi-detached houses and former offices into apartment blocks and houses in multiple occupation; unrelenting car parking and traffic problems related to this housing overdevelopment; and the replacement of traditional stores with takeaways, massage parlours, pawnbrokers and payday loan shops.
I would suggest that the real threat to the way of life of the traditional white working class in Freemantle (which has embraced a rich mix of ethnic groups since the last century, such as the Irish, Scottish, Afrikaners, Maltese, Italians and Greeks) is not from their new Polish, Czech, Bulgar or Vlach compatriots. A common foe exists in the form of unscrupulous landlords, exploitative, low-wage employers and the banks.

- 14 March 2013 09:11220321Somebody is complaining, the ASB figure is the largest area of reported crime. You can progress through the page in Howard's link;through to 'outcomes' and 'your stats'. Here is a link to the latter...

- 14 March 2013 09:37220324That's an idea Howard. You sometimes see, mostly in movies, a board on the outskirts of a town declaring the size of the population, why not a rolling crime-number generator?
A fête or fair could then be held on this number exceeding the thousand or so mark? Or just on April first.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing. - 14 March 2013 09:52220327howard mcsweeney1 wrote:Is that right or wrong Howard?i think in many cases people only ever report low level crime in order to get a crime number for their insurance company.Audere est facere.
