How To Keep Safe in Hollywood

Given the prevalence of violence and sexual offences in Hollywood, it’s crucial to prioritise personal safety. Firstly, be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone at night. Consider joining a local neighbourhood watch scheme to foster a sense of community and shared responsibility. Secondly, secure your home and vehicles effectively – ensure doors and windows are locked, and consider installing security lighting. Finally, report any suspicious activity to the police promptly; even seemingly minor incidents can contribute to a safer environment for everyone.

Criminal activity in Hollywood exhibits patterns throughout the day. Burglaries are most frequently reported during the morning (10%) and afternoon (18%) hours, with a slight increase in the evening (16%). Vehicle crime is notably concentrated during the night (44%), suggesting a heightened risk during those hours. Theft also shows a peak in the afternoon (51%), likely correlating with commercial activity. While violence is relatively low across all periods, a small proportion occurs during the evening (0%). Understanding these patterns can inform personal safety precautions and community safety initiatives.

Comparing Hollywood to its neighbouring areas, the crime rate varies considerably. Wythall and Major's Green both record higher rates at 47.9 and 48.9 per 1,000 respectively. However, Tidbury Green and Whitlock’s End demonstrate exceptionally low crime rates, effectively zero. This suggests that while Hollywood maintains a reasonably safe environment, residents should be aware of the varying levels of crime risk in surrounding communities.
