The breakdown of offences shows that violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 33.3%.

The area's crime profile is further distinguished by its significant underperformance compared to the UK average in several categories, including violence and sexual offences (62% below), anti-social behaviour (28% below), and public order offences (55% below).

This context makes the area's crime statistics particularly noteworthy, as they reflect not only a safe environment but also a stable one, with no major fluctuations in offence types despite the minor increases in burglary and drugs-related offences.
