The crime rate for Robertsbridge, as of the available data, stands at 71.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is lower than the United Kingdom’s average crime rate of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.

Beyond the raw crime rate, the safety score of Robertsbridge is an important indicator. The area boasts a safety score of 84/100, which is considerably higher than the UK average of 79/100. A higher safety score generally suggests a lower perceived risk of crime and a greater sense of security among residents. It’s crucial to remember that a safety score is a composite measure, often factoring in resident perceptions and local authority initiatives, alongside reported crime statistics.
It’s also vital to remember that crime rates fluctuate and are subject to change. The data provided represents a snapshot in time and doesn’t necessarily reflect long-term trends. Furthermore, the specific types of crime reported within Robertsbridge are not detailed in the data – a lower crime rate doesn’t necessarily mean a complete absence of crime, but rather a potentially lower incidence of certain crime categories compared to the national average.
