In England and Wales, shoplifting has risen by 36%, theft from the person by 18% and robbery
00:08
is up by 13% in the latest round of statistics. From the hustle and bustle of the big cities
00:13
to the seemingly idyllic countryside, crime finds its way into almost every corner of
00:18
the country, with the crime rate now sitting at 91.2 crimes per 1,000 people in 2024. That's
00:24
the national average, but using the data we can see which areas fare worse than others.
00:29
Perhaps unsurprisingly enough, Westminster comes out on top when it comes to the most
00:33
dangerous areas, with a staggering 440 crimes per 1,000 residents. Manchester is in third
00:39
place, followed by Middlesbrough in fourth, Liverpool in eighth, Leeds in eleventh, Birmingham
00:44
in seventeenth and Newcastle-upon-Tyne in twenty-first place. In each place, crime and
00:49
nuisance behaviour may be on the up, but each is unique in terms of problem areas within
00:53
the wider city and the major issues that plague the people. What's the biggest problem facing
00:58
the area where you live? Which areas of the city are the worst? And how is it having an
01:02
impact on you?
