Student Crime Chester

  • Reference Number: 3045
  • Date released: 18 April 2011

Request

I am a student journalist at the University of Chester and I am writing a story on crime. I was hoping to speak to someone on the force who could give me a few quotes on whether they felt Chester was a safe city?

I also wanted to know how much crime in the area students are responsible for?

Clarification:

Spoken to re FOI Request and he states that he is happy to withdraw the part of the request asking for quote on Chester as a safe city, and would like to know how much crime in the area students are responsible for, i have advised that the information would be reliant upon the student stating that they were a student upon arrest therefore it would not be a complete/true figure, he also stated he would like this information for the Calendar years 2010 and 2009 if possible.
