Get Proper Locks! CPW LOCKSMITHS about UK and Ipswich data.....
According to the year ending March 2015 CSEW younger people were more likely to be victims across most property crime types; the exceptions were plastic card fraud and criminal damage where victimisation tended to be higher in the middle of the age distribution. Men and women showed similar levels of victimisation in most crime types, with the exception of robbery, where men (0.3%) were twice as likely to be victims compared with women (0.1%).
The type of area where people live was also an important factor in the likelihood of victimisation. Across all types of property crime those living in urban areas were more likely to have been victims than those living in rural areas. Respondents living in the most deprived output areas were most likely to be victims of household property crime offences, such as domestic burglary, vehicle-related theft and bicycle theft. Victims of plastic card fraud showed a contrasting pattern, where respondents living in the most deprived output areas (4.0%) were less likely to be victims than those living in the least deprived output areas (5.5%).
For other characteristics, such as employment status, occupation, household income, the likelihood of victimisation shows more variation across the different crime types. Some of the main findings show:
across almost all offence types the unemployed appeared more likely to be victims compared with those in employment or who were economically inactive (the exceptions were plastic card fraud and criminal damage), although the differences were not statistically significant
those in employment (5.1%) were more likely to be a victim of plastic card fraud compared with those who were unemployed (4.3%) or economically inactive (3.8%); plastic card fraud victimisation was greater in higher-income households (for example 6.4% of households with a total income of £50,000 or more compared with 3.4% of households with an income of less than £10,000)
students were more likely to be victims than those in other groups for a number of crime types, including domestic burglary, bicycle theft and theft from the person.
The statistical bulletin ‘Focus on: Property Crime, 2014/15’ provides a comprehensive overview of statistics on property crime.
