The question of what types of violence and sexual offences are being reported in Shotley Gate is a valid concern for any resident. While specific incident types are not detailed in the available data, we can provide context based on the overall crime statistics for the area. Shotley Gate, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within the Babergh district, has a population of 1643 people.
The reported crime rate in Shotley Gate is 26.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 per 1,000 residents. This difference highlights that Shotley Gate experiences considerably less crime than the average across the UK. Further reinforcing this is the area's safety score of 94 out of 100, again significantly higher than the UK average of 79. This high safety score suggests a perceived and statistically supported feeling of safety within the community.
It’s important to understand that this overall crime rate encompasses a range of offences, including violence and sexual offences, as well as other crimes like theft and criminal damage. The data doesn't break down the types of violence and sexual offences reported specifically. Therefore, it’s impossible to provide a detailed list of reported incidents based solely on the information available. However, the consistently low crime rate and high safety score provide reassurance.
It's worth noting that reported crime statistics represent only the incidents that have been brought to the attention of the authorities. They do not capture the full extent of criminal activity that may occur within the area. For further information about crime trends and specific incidents, residents should consult the Suffolk Constabulary website and local crime statistics resources, although specific details for Shotley Gate may be limited due to the small population size.
