Survey to decide crime priorities
Police arrest a yob
Some residents have expressed a fear of crime
People in Cornwall are worried about anti-social behaviour and domestic violence, according to a survey.

The county's Community Safety Partnership conducts a survey every three years and uses the results to help to drive the fight against crime.

A draft strategy highlights 10 areas of concern including anti-social behaviour, road accidents, domestic violence and burglary.

Residents are being asked to help decide the top four priorities.

The audit shows that people living in different districts will have different priorities.

Towns like Newquay and Penzance are seen as unsafe, while people living in the Penwith and Restormel areas have expressed above-average levels of fear of crime.
