The question of whether there are specific areas within Selston with higher rates of violent crime is a reasonable one for any concerned resident. Examining the available data for Selston in Ashfield (BUA) provides a clearer picture.
Selston in Ashfield has a population of 6489. Crucially, its crime rate stands at 61.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average, which sits at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. A lower crime rate generally indicates a safer environment compared to the national average.
Beyond the raw crime rate, Selston also receives a safety score of 87 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, further reinforcing Selston’s relatively high level of safety. The safety score is a composite measure, likely considering factors beyond just reported crimes, such as perceptions of safety and community cohesion.
It’s important to acknowledge that this data represents a general overview. While the overall crime rate is lower than the UK average, pinpointing specific areas within Selston with disproportionately higher crime rates requires more granular data that is not available within this dataset. The data provided doesn't break down crime by smaller geographical units within Selston. Therefore, we cannot identify specific streets or neighbourhoods with higher crime rates based solely on this information.
For residents seeking more detailed information about specific incidents or areas, consulting the local police force directly is recommended. They often have access to more localised data and can provide insights into emerging trends or concerns within specific neighbourhoods. Regularly checking the Nottinghamshire Police website and engaging with local community watch schemes are also proactive steps to stay informed.
