Crime data dashboard

Furzedown crime: the picture behind the numbers.

Latest published category data in the newsletter: July 2026. Crime categories are broad and should be interpreted carefully.

31Violence / sexual
26ASB
25Vehicle crime
10Other theft
Important context — violence and VAWG: the Met category “Violence and sexual offences” is broad. The June figure of 56 does not mean 56 sexual assaults or domestic-abuse incidents. Exact Furzedown-level domestic-abuse and sexual-offence breakdowns are not published publicly in the newsletter source.

June → July comparison

What the comparison shows: among these four published categories, vehicle crime recorded the largest month-to-month increase, while violence / sexual offences fell substantially. A two-month comparison is useful for spotting movement, but it should not be treated as a long-term trend on its own.

Accountability

You said → we raised → response → outcome.

This is the structure the Panel will use to show residents how concerns move from discussion to follow-up. Entries below are based on current priority activity and newsletter updates.

You said / priority identifiedRobbery is one of the Panel’s four published community-safety priorities.
We raisedRobbery remains one of the Panel's four priorities.
ResponseTargeted patrols, school engagement and hotspot intelligence.
Outcome / updateTwo robbery suspects were arrested, charged and remanded after incidents around Bellevue/Broomwood Road.
As the website develops, this section can carry dated resident issues, named partner responses, deadlines and completed outcomes rather than waiting for the next newsletter.

VAWG safety

Prevention, safer spaces, support and respectful attitudes.

VAWG is one of the Panel's four priorities. The website gives this work enough space to explain the issue without misrepresenting broad crime-category data.

What the Panel can focus on

Safer public spaces

Lighting, routes, repeat locations, environmental design and resident experiences.

Prevention

Education, community awareness and early challenge to harmful behaviour.

Respectful attitudes

Supporting work such as White Ribbon activity with boys and young men.

Partner accountability

Seeking clear updates from police and Council partners about prevention and response.

The newsletter states that Furzedown-level breakdowns of domestic abuse and sexual offences are not publicly published, so broad “violence and sexual offences” figures should not be presented as a direct count of VAWG incidents.
