The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (33.3% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.4%) and other crime (6.8%). These trends align with the area’s character as a built-up part of Nottingham, where high population density and commercial activity may contribute to elevated levels of certain offences.

Violence and sexual offences, at 3.2 per 1,000, remain 24% above the UK average, a disparity that may be attributed to the area’s proximity to nightlife and transport hubs.
