The question of whether specific areas within Newton and Blackwell demonstrate higher rates of violent crime requires a nuanced understanding of the available data. Newton and Blackwell, designated as a BUA (Built-Up Area) within Bolsover, has a population of 2724. Overall, the crime rate for this area stands at 55.8 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is notably lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
However, the data doesn't currently provide a breakdown of crime rates by specific streets or smaller neighbourhoods within Newton and Blackwell. To ascertain whether certain pockets experience disproportionately higher violent crime, one would need access to more granular data, which isn’t available within this overview. It’s important to remember that crime rates are often influenced by a complex interplay of factors, including socioeconomic conditions, population density, and local policing strategies.
The area’s safety score is 87/100, which is also above the UK average of 79, further suggesting a relatively safe environment. This safety score is a composite measure reflecting various factors beyond just crime rates, potentially including perceptions of safety and the presence of community initiatives. While the overall crime rate is below the national average, the absence of detailed area-specific data means it's difficult to pinpoint specific locations within Newton and Blackwell where violent crime may be more prevalent. Residents concerned about safety should consult local police reports or engage with community watch schemes for more localised information.
