The question of whether there are specific areas in Mansfield with higher crime rates is a valid one, and the available data provides some context. Mansfield, as a Local Authority District (LAD), has a population of 113,138. Its crime rate currently stands at 113.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is slightly above the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. The safety score for Mansfield is 74 out of 100, which is also below the UK average of 79.
It’s important to note that this overall crime rate doesn't pinpoint specific areas within Mansfield with higher rates. The data presented covers the entire LAD. Disaggregating this data to identify high-crime neighbourhoods would require more granular information, which isn’t available in the data provided. Crime rates can fluctuate and are influenced by a variety of factors, including socio-economic conditions, population density, and policing strategies.
While we cannot identify specific high-crime areas based solely on this data, the fact that Mansfield’s crime rate and safety score are below the national average suggests a need for continued vigilance and community engagement. The police force for the area would hold more detailed information regarding specific problem areas within the LAD. Further investigation would require consulting the local police force's data and reports. It’s also worth noting that crime rates are often reported in aggregate, and may not reflect the nuances of specific types of crime within different parts of the district.
