The question of specific violence and sexual offence crime statistics for Soham is a complex one, as granular data isn't typically released at such a localised level. However, we can analyse the available data to provide a picture of crime trends within the area.
Soham, located in East Cambridgeshire, is classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 11,223. The overall crime rate for Soham stands at 65.6 crimes per 1,000 residents. This figure is notably lower than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate, which is 91.6 per 1,000. This suggests that Soham experiences a comparatively lower level of overall crime.
Furthermore, Soham’s safety score is 84 out of 100, again exceeding the UK average of 79. A safety score this high indicates a perceived level of safety within the community. While this score doesn't isolate violence and sexual offences, it reflects the overall sentiment regarding safety among residents.
It's important to remember that crime statistics can be influenced by various factors, including population density, reporting rates, and policing strategies. The absence of publicly available data specifically detailing violence and sexual offence numbers for Soham means we can only interpret the available figures—the overall crime rate and safety score—in conjunction with the UK averages. Therefore, while we can't provide precise figures for specific crime types, the data indicates Soham is generally a safer place than many other areas in the UK.
