FOI Reference: 436/2022

Antisocial behaviour and crime statistics involving 16-24 year olds from the Tyisha ward if possible for 2022 or 2021.
Clarification requested:
Clarification received:
Yes all ASB markers where young people up to age 24 are involved.
Tyisha ward in Llanelli, if it is possible to compare stats from the Tyisha ward in Llanelli to Llanelli as a whole and Carmarthenshire?
Response:
Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 places two duties on public authorities. Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Section 1(1) (a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is held. The second duty at Section 1(1) (b) is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held.
Where exemptions are relied upon Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires Dyfed-Powys Police, when refusing to provide such information (because the information is exempt) to provide you the applicant with a notice which:
(a) states that fact,
(b) specifies the exemption in question and
(c) states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.
I can confirm that the cost of determining whether any information relative to this request is or isn’t held is above the amount to which we are legally required to respond therefore we are withholding the whole of the requested information since we consider that the Section 12 (2) exemption the Cost of Compliance exceeds the Appropriate Limit applies to it.
Section 12 (2) – The cost of compliance exceeds the Appropriate Limit
Section 12(2) states: “…Subsection (1) does not exempt the public authority from its obligation to comply with paragraph (a) of section 1(1) unless the estimated cost of complying with that paragraph alone would exceed the appropriate limit.”
The cost of providing you with the information requested in respect of your request is above the amount to which we are legally required to respond i.e. the cost of locating and retrieving the information exceeds the “appropriate level” as stated in the Freedom of Information (Fees and Appropriate Limit) Regulations 2004. It is estimated that it would exceed 18 hours (i.e. minimum 370.5 hours) to comply with this part of your request. The regulations can be located @
www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2004/20043244.htm
The Freedom of Information Unit has been advised that the information in relation to your request regarding antisocial behaviour and crime statistics involving 16 – 24 year olds from the Tyisha ward in Llanelli for 2021 and 2022 is not held in an easily retrievable format and would exceed the appropriate time limit, i.e. 18 hours, to retrieve.
The relevant department has advised that the information for antisocial behaviour incidents alone cannot be broken down into wards or filtered by age of those involved therefore an individual interrogation of each antisocial behaviour incident would be required to establish the information requested. For this time period, there are 1779 antisocial behaviour incidents recorded for Llanelli area which would require review. The relevant time estimate is detailed below.
2021: 1589 records x 10 minutes per record = 264.83 hours
2022 (up to 23/05/22): 190 records x 10 minutes per records = 31.67 hours
Total in relation to ASB incidents only = 296.5 hours
In relation to crimes, there are 445 crimes that would require review to check for victim / suspect age as this field is blank for numerous crime records.
In order to do this, it is estimated it would take approximately 10 minutes to review each record, of which there are 444 crimes for the calendar year 2021 and 2022 up until 23rd May 2022. The relevant time estimate is detailed below.
2021: 332 records x 10 minutes per record = 55.33 hours
2022 (up to 23/05/22): 112 records x 10 minutes per records = 18.67 hours
Total in relation to crimes only = 74 hours
Therefore, total time estimate to complete request = 370.5 hours
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this letter acts as a Refusal Notice for the WHOLE of this request under Section 17(5) A public authority which, in relation to any request for information, is relying on a claim that section 12 or section 14 applies must, within the time for complying with section 1(1), give the applicant a notice stating that fact. You may wish to refine and resubmit your request so that it reduces the time shown above to fall within the 18 hours. Should you require any further advice in relation to this matter please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Please also be advised that should the request be refined, it does not remove the Force’s right to cite exemptions if relevant.
This is a response under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and disclosed on the 29th June 2022.
