The impact of anti-social behaviour on the quality of life in Moreton-in-Marsh, a Built-Up Area within the Cotswold district, is a concern for many residents. While Moreton-in-Marsh has a population of 3707, understanding the extent of anti-social behaviour and its effects requires a look at the available data.
Crime rates in Moreton-in-Marsh currently stand at 75.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents, suggesting that, statistically, the area experiences slightly less crime than the national average. However, it's important to remember that crime statistics don't always fully reflect the impact of anti-social behaviour, which can include a range of actions beyond recorded crimes, such as noise disturbances, vandalism, and public intoxication.
To provide a broader picture of safety, Moreton-in-Marsh has a safety score of 81 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79 out of 100. This higher score indicates that Moreton-in-Marsh is generally perceived as a safer place to live compared to the average UK location. However, this score is still a subjective measure and doesn't necessarily negate the impact of anti-social behaviour on residents' feelings of safety and well-being.
The perception of safety is closely linked to the experience of anti-social behaviour. Even relatively minor incidents can contribute to a sense of unease and a decline in the quality of life. The cumulative effect of such behaviour, even if not officially classified as a crime, can damage community cohesion and create an environment where residents feel less comfortable and secure. It's important to note that the data presented reflects a snapshot in time and doesn’t account for fluctuations or specific incidents that may have occurred.
