Crimes of Violence: Harpenden and Berkhamsted
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment her Department has made of trends in the levels of reported violent crime in Harpenden and Berkhamsted constituency.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Home Office publishes official statistics on violent crime recorded by the police in England Wales at the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) Area level.
Figures for the CSP areas of St Albans and Dacorum can be found in Open Data Tables, available here: Police recorded crime and outcomes open data tables - GOV.UK
Given the relatively low volume of offences involving knives or sharp instruments, such statistics are only published at the Police Force Area (PFA) level and those for Hertfordshire PFA can also be found at the weblink given above.
