Crime data supporting the "Hong Kong Crime Situation of Year 2016" press announcement
Dear Hong Kong Police Force Crime Wing,
Can you please provide me with the data supporting Commisioner Lo's Press Conference on "Hong Kong Crime Situation of Year 2016", as reported here:
http://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en/01_about...
If you do not have this can you please forward this request to the Police department that does. The key information I would like is on the NEC and NEC form 8 holder data mentioned here:
"Among these arrested persons, 4 703 people were Non-ethnic Chinese (NEC) (14.1 per cent), being a rise of 227 persons. The proportion of residents to non-residents was about half to half. Offences mainly involved shop theft, miscellaneous thefts, wounding/serious assault and serious drug offences. A total of 1 506 NEC Form 8 holders were arrested last year, an increase of 393 persons (up 35.3 per cent) when compared with 2015."
Can you provide the exact arrest data used here. I would like to see this at the district/region level if you have it, and the exact breakdown on the types of crime that is detailed here? As you compare it to 2015 can you provide data from 2015 and as far back as you have collected it?
If there is a source file that all of these statistics in the press release were compiled from that would probably be easiest for me to analyse and get this from.
Yours faithfully,
Scott Edmunds
