Determining precisely which areas of High Peak experience the most violence and sexual offences requires a more granular breakdown than the data currently provides. The available data presents an overview for the entire LAD (Local Authority District) of High Peak, covering a population of 91,959.
Overall, High Peak exhibits a crime rate of 73.3 per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000, suggesting a comparatively safer environment. Furthermore, High Peak’s safety score is 83 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79. However, this aggregate figure doesn't pinpoint specific locations within the district where violence and sexual offences are concentrated.
Without access to more detailed geographic data (such as ward-level statistics), it’s impossible to identify the ‘most’ affected areas. The police force may publish more detailed information on their website, which would offer a more specific breakdown of incidents by location. It’s important to remember that crime statistics can fluctuate and are influenced by various factors, including reporting rates and police activity.
While the overall crime rate is lower than the national average, it doesn't negate the impact of crime on individuals and communities. If you have concerns about safety in a particular area, contacting the local police force is the best course of action. They can provide more localised information and advice. You can also check the police force's website for crime mapping tools, if available.
