The chart below shows the changes that took in three different areas of crime in Newport.

The graph provides Newport city’s crime statistics for the period from 2003 to 2012. Overall, crime rate in Newport was the highest in 2004 and the vice versa in 2008. In 2003, burglary was the most committed crime in the city with almost 3500 cases. In a year’s time the figure increased significantly to reach an all-time high of approximately 3750 crimes just before experiencing a long-lasting gradual decline until 2008 when it hit a trough of about 1200. After nearing 1500 cases in 2009, the number of burglaries remained almost stable at around 1500 cases and ended up ranking the second most committed crime at the end of the period. Looking at car theft figures, it is obvious that it experienced a continued fluctuation over the period. At the beginning, the number of car theft cases was considerably lower than that of burglaries at about 2800 which stayed quite stable for the first three years of the period. However, in 2005 it witnessed a plunge to reach its lowest at 2000, after which it started to increase and outnumbered burglaries in the middle of 2006. For the rest of the period, the figure generally followed an upward trend and reached its 2003 level. Turning to robbery, as can be seen that it was the least committed and had the most stable pattern. Over the whole period, the number of robbery cases mildly fluctuated between 500 and 800.
