The question of what specific types of violence and sexual offences are reported in Westoning is a valid concern for any resident. While detailed breakdowns of specific offence types are not readily available for such a small area (Westoning being a Built-Up Area or BUA with a population of 2263), we can provide a context based on the overall crime rate and safety score.
Westoning's overall crime rate currently stands at 33.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the United Kingdom’s average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. This lower crime rate contributes to Westoning’s impressive safety score of 92 out of 100, far exceeding the UK average of 79.
It's important to understand that 'violence and sexual offences' is a broad category encompassing various crimes. These can include, but are not limited to, assault (both common and actual), harassment, stalking, rape, sexual assault, and other related offences. Due to the small population size, reporting individual offence types would potentially risk identifying individuals, and this data is not publicly released at that granular level.
While we cannot provide a breakdown of specific offence types, the low crime rate indicates that Westoning likely experiences similar types of violence and sexual offences as other areas in the UK, but at a considerably reduced frequency. Central Bedfordshire Police are responsible for policing Westoning, and they actively work to prevent crime and respond to incidents. Residents are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicious activity to the police, regardless of how minor they may seem. Further information on crime prevention and reporting procedures can be found on the Central Bedfordshire Police website.
It’s also worth noting that crime statistics are constantly evolving, and it's advisable to check the latest data from official sources for the most up-to-date information.
