Violence and sexual offences make up 985, close to half, while anti-social behaviour (253) and criminal damage and arson (200) are the categories most likely to touch business premises.

For Carn Brea Business Park, town-centre shops and outlying industrial sites, that points to visible patrols, cameras and quick alarm attendance planning.
