The question of whether Broughton has known hotspots for anti-social behaviour is complex. While we don’t have specific, pinpointed locations identified as ‘hotspots’ within the data, an analysis of Broughton (North Northamptonshire), a Built-Up Area (BUA) in North Northamptonshire, provides some context.
Broughton has a population of 3271 residents. Its crime rate currently stands at 69.1 incidents per 1,000 people. This is notably lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000. However, it's important to remember that a crime rate represents the number of reported incidents, and doesn't necessarily indicate the prevalence or severity of anti-social behaviour.
Broughton scores 87 out of 100 on the safety scale, exceeding the UK average of 79. This suggests a generally perceived feeling of safety within the area. It's important to note that safety scores are often based on subjective assessments and can vary depending on the methodology used.
Without more granular data on the types of crime reported within Broughton, it is difficult to definitively identify specific areas experiencing higher rates of anti-social behaviour. General patterns often suggest that areas with higher population density or proximity to transport links may experience more incidents. However, this is speculative and not directly supported by the provided data.
It's crucial to remember that data reflects reported incidents. Underreporting is a common issue with anti-social behaviour, meaning the actual extent of the problem could be higher than the statistics suggest. Local community groups and the police are valuable resources for understanding specific concerns and initiatives within Broughton. They may have access to more detailed information not available in this aggregated data.
