The question of where the areas in Redruth have the highest rates of violent crime requires a look at the available data. Redruth, defined as a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Cornwall, has a population of 11,916. The overall crime rate for Redruth is 101.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly higher than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 per 1,000.
It’s important to understand that a higher crime rate doesn't necessarily mean Redruth is inherently unsafe. Crime rates can be influenced by a variety of factors including population density, socioeconomic conditions, and reporting practices. The data doesn’t specify which areas within the BUA of Redruth have the highest rates; it provides a general overview for the entire area.
Redruth’s safety score is 76 out of 100, which is also below the UK average of 79. This safety score is a composite measure likely considering factors beyond just violent crime, such as perceptions of safety and the presence of protective measures.
Without more granular data breaking down crime rates by specific neighbourhoods or streets within Redruth, it's impossible to pinpoint the exact locations with the highest incidents. However, the fact that Redruth’s overall crime rate is above average suggests that localised areas are likely experiencing higher rates than others. To gain a more detailed picture, it is recommended to consult regularly updated crime maps published by local authorities or Police.uk, which often provide more specific information on crime hotspots. Furthermore, engagement with local community safety partnerships can offer insights into areas of concern and ongoing initiatives.
