The question of whether specific areas within Rural North East Derbyshire are more prone to anti-social behaviour is a valid concern for residents. Data relating to the area, classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within North East Derbyshire, provides some insight. This BUA has a population of 15,618 people.
Crucially, the overall crime rate for Rural North East Derbyshire stands at 74.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. While this suggests a generally safe environment, pinpointing specific 'hotspots' within the area requires more granular data which isn't provided. The available data doesn't detail specific neighbourhoods or streets experiencing disproportionately high levels of anti-social behaviour.
However, the area’s Safety Score of 82/100 is a positive indicator, exceeding the UK average of 79. A higher safety score typically suggests residents feel safe and that crime is effectively managed. It’s important to note that a safety score is based on a combination of factors including perception of safety, crime statistics and community engagement.
Without more detailed data breaking down crime types and locations within the BUA, it's impossible to definitively state which specific areas are more susceptible to anti-social behaviour. Residents concerned about local safety should proactively engage with Derbyshire Constabulary, report any suspicious activity, and consider participating in or forming neighbourhood watch schemes to foster a sense of community and deter potential offenders.
