The question of how Shirebrook’s crime data compares to Langwith requires careful consideration of available data. Currently, specific crime data for Langwith is not provided, so a direct comparison isn't possible. However, we can analyse Shirebrook’s crime data in relation to the UK average to provide context.
Shirebrook, classified as a Built-up Area (BUA) within Bolsover, has a population of 13,504. Its crime rate stands at 90.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. To put this into perspective, the UK national average crime rate is 91.6 per 1,000 people. This indicates that Shirebrook’s crime rate is slightly below the national average.
Beyond the raw crime rate, assessing Shirebrook’s safety involves looking at its safety score. Shirebrook's safety score is 78 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79 out of 100. This difference suggests that Shirebrook is perceived as marginally less safe than the average UK location, though still within a relatively safe range.
It’s important to remember that crime rates and safety scores are complex metrics. They can be influenced by a variety of factors including population density, socioeconomic conditions, reporting practices, and the effectiveness of local law enforcement. A lower crime rate compared to the national average does not automatically equate to absolute safety, and variations within Shirebrook itself are likely. Without Langwith's data, it’s impossible to definitively state how the two areas compare.
