Crime figure dispute
In the Herald for June 5, Eastbourne Crime Reduction Partnership claimed that overall crime had reduced by 20 per cent between 2003/4 and 2007/8.
According to the figures for recorded crime published by eastsussexinfigures.org.uk, that should be 21 per cent, though your readers might like to know that the overall figure includes a reduction of 61 per cent for 'theft from a vehicle offences', an increase of 26 per cent for 'sexual offences', and an increase of 37 per cent for 'violence against the person'.
