| Deliberate damage and vandalism | 12 | 4.5 per 1,000 | −8% |
| Fraud and payment card fraud | 13 | 4.9 per 1,000 | −28% |
These figures count offences recorded by the police and gendarmerie, not how safe a place feels, and not every offence is reported. Rates are per 1,000 residents (per 1,000 homes for burglaries): where many people visit but few live, as in town centres and shopping areas, they are naturally higher. Small counts are not published.
