The question of whether there are specific crime hotspots in Great Shelford and Stapleford is complex. While we can’t pinpoint exact locations without more granular data, we can assess the overall crime landscape based on available information. The combined area of Great Shelford and Stapleford, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in South Cambridgeshire, has a population of 6641. Crucially, the overall crime rate stands at 41.0 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the United Kingdom average of 91.6 per 1,000.
This comparatively low crime rate contributes to a high safety score of 91 out of 100 for the area, again exceeding the UK average of 79. It's important to remember that a safety score is a composite metric, reflecting perceptions of safety and the prevalence of crime. While this indicates a generally safe environment, it doesn't eliminate the possibility of localised incidents.
Because detailed crime mapping is not available within this dataset, we can’t identify specific 'hotspots'. However, it is standard practice for Cambridgeshire Constabulary to monitor reported crime and deploy resources accordingly. If you have any concerns about specific locations or incidents, it is recommended to contact the police directly or consult local community watch groups. The lower overall crime rate suggests that residents generally feel safe, but maintaining that sense of security requires ongoing awareness and proactive engagement with local authorities. Further investigation into specific crime types would be necessary to identify any areas of particular concern, but the available data paints a picture of a relatively safe area.
