The question of whether particular areas within Narberth, Pembrokeshire, experience higher levels of anti-social behaviour is a valid concern for any community. Based on available data, Narberth (BUA) has a population of 2375. The crime rate in Narberth is 66.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. Narberth also enjoys a safety score of 83 out of 100, which is above the UK average of 79.
It’s important to understand that a crime rate figure represents the overall incidence of reported crimes within a defined area. While it doesn't pinpoint specific 'hotspots' within Narberth, it does indicate a generally lower level of crime compared to the national picture. The safety score further reinforces this, suggesting residents perceive Narberth as a safe place.
Without more granular data broken down by specific neighbourhoods within Narberth, it's difficult to identify particular areas with disproportionately higher instances of anti-social behaviour. Crime statistics are often aggregated at a broader level than individual neighbourhoods. Local police forces, such as Dyfed-Powys Police, may hold more detailed information about localised crime patterns, and residents are encouraged to contact them directly for this level of insight.
It's also important to remember that crime statistics only reflect reported incidents. Underreporting can be a factor, meaning the actual level of anti-social behaviour might be higher than what is officially recorded. Community engagement and reporting suspicious activity are vital to ensuring these issues are addressed and prevented.
