The question of whether there are specific areas within Rural Erewash where vehicle crime is more prevalent is a valid concern. Data for Rural Erewash, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within Erewash, reveals a crime rate of 49.0 per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. The population of this area is recorded as 6,626.
While the overall crime rate is comparatively low, it's important to understand the nuances. The data also indicates a property crime rate of 16.3 per 1,000, which contributes to the overall crime rate. The Safety Score for Rural Erewash is 88 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79, suggesting a generally safe environment. However, this score doesn't isolate vehicle crime specifically.
Unfortunately, the provided data doesn't pinpoint specific locations within Rural Erewash where vehicle crime is disproportionately high. It's a broad area, and localised crime patterns can fluctuate. The lower overall crime rate suggests that vehicle crime is not a widespread problem concentrated in a particular locale. However, it's essential to remember that even with lower rates, vehicle crime can impact individuals and communities.
To gain a more granular understanding, residents are encouraged to consult local police reports, community watch groups, and engage with local authorities. These sources often provide more detailed information about specific incidents and potential hotspots within the broader Rural Erewash area. Furthermore, remaining vigilant and practicing preventative measures, such as ensuring vehicles are securely locked and parked in well-lit areas, can contribute to reducing the risk of vehicle crime regardless of location.
