In September 2011, Other Crime was divided into 6 categories - Drugs, Public Disorder & Weapons (which was later split further and so is not displayed here), Criminal Damage & Arson (CD&A), Theft - Shoplifting, Theft-Other and Other.

I) The violent crime category was renamed "violence and sexual offences"
2) A new category for "bicycle theft" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
3) A new category for "theft from the person" was created which previously fell within "other theft"
4) Public disorder and weapons were then split into two new categories; "public order" and "possession of weapons"
5) Both "other firearms offences" and "other knives offences" which were in "other crime" were moved into "possession of weapons".

A new league table which gives greater weight to more serious crimes judges Greater Manchester as less safe than London.

Official figures show that 82 crimes were reported for every thousand people in Greater Manchester last year, compared to 87 in London.

But the new measure, which gives greater weight to more serious crime, puts Greater Manchester second nationally ahead of the capital.

The 'crime severity score' developed by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) aims to take account the greater harm caused by more serious offending rather than simply counting the total number of reported crimes.

It means murder is given the top weighting - 7,979 points per offence - while possession of cannabis gets the bottom weighting (three points per offence).

It shows we're more likely to suffer serious violent and sexual crimes compared to other parts of England and Wales.

The figures reveal Greater Manchester has a crime severity score of 13.4 compared to 13.2 in London, exceeded only by West Yorkshire at 13.6.

Despite rises in the last two years, Greater Manchester Police stressed that the crime rate in the area was well below historic levels, with nearly 130 crimes reported per 1,000 people in 2007.

A spokesman said: "Greater Manchester Police covers a large metropolitan area and year-on-year deals with one of the largest caseloads of any police force in England and Wales.

"Following a steady decrease in the number of reported crimes per a population of 1,000, GMP is among a number of forces nationally to have seen an increase over recent years.

"The rise in Greater Manchester can be attributed primarily to an increase in public confidence of the police to investigate and changes to the way GMP record such crimes.

"We take all crimes incredibly seriously and remain as committed as ever to tackling all matters reported to us."

Compared to England and Wales as a whole, crime rates per 1,000 population are above average in Greater Manchester. They fell faster than national figures between 2006 and 2012. Since 2013, crime rates have risen faster than the national figure.

One of the most renowned photographers of the interwar period, Brassaï's reputation rests on contributions to both commercial and avant-garde photography. His long-time friend, the author Henry Miller, nicknamed him "The Eye of Paris" for his devotion to the city, and he was close to many of its artists. His enduring relationship with Picasso in particular yielded many famous portraits of the artist, as well as important books. His first photo-book, published in 1933 and entitled Paris de nuit (published in English as Paris After Dark), remains the most famous exploration of the city's hidden underbelly, and is considered a classic of early street photography. His series of photo-books of Paris graffiti have also been hugely influential.

Born Gyula Halász, in the Transylvanian town of Brassó, he was trained as a painter in Budapest, and then in Berlin. He moved to Paris in 1924 and supported himself as a journalist, writing for publications throughout Europe and the United States (it was in Paris that he changed his name to Brassaï, meaning "from Brassó"). He only turned to photography to document his articles but eventually he became enchanted with the medium. At night he would venture out to capture the city's deserted streets, its shadowed monuments, and those who only emerged after dark - prostitutes, street cleaners, and rag pickers - many of whom he captured in candid photographs. From 1943-45, when working as a photographer was difficult due to the German occupation, Picasso encouraged him to return to drawing, and later sculpture.

He was also an accomplished writer and painter. But Brassaï's career as a photographer resumed after the war and continued through the late 1960s; it includes work for periodicals including Harper's Bazaar, Picture Post, and Surrealist magazines such as Verve and Minotaur. He is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.

Brassaï was the subject of several major exhibitions during his lifetime, and recent retrospectives have included "Brassaï: The Soul of Paris," at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2000 (toured to the Hayward Gallery, London); and "Brassaï: The Eye of Paris," at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1998 (toured to J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; National Gallery of art, Washington, D.C.). His publications include Le Paris secret des années 30 (1976); Conversations avec Picasso (1964); and, co-authored with Picasso, Graffiti (1960). He was the recipient of several major awards, including the Gold Medal for Photography at the Venice Biennale (1957), the first Grand Prix National de la Photographie (1978), the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (1974), and the Chevalier de l'Order de la Legion d'honneur (1976). His film, Tant qu'il y aura des bêtes won Most Original Film at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.
