Drugs in Cardiff

What this measures

Possession, supply and production of controlled drugs. Counts largely reflect police activity rather than the level of drug use.

Police-recorded crime counts offences reported to and recorded by the police. It is affected by whether people report crime and by changes in police recording practice, so it does not measure all crime that happens. The Crime Survey for England and Wales is the better guide to long-term trends in the crimes it covers. Police recorded crime is not designated as National Statistics. A higher recorded rate does not mean an area is more dangerous.
