The question of whether anti-social behaviour is more prevalent in specific areas of South Godstone is a valid concern for many residents. Data for the Built-Up Area (BUA) of South Godstone in Tandridge reveals a crime rate of 40.7 incidents per 1,000 people. This is significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000, indicating a generally safer environment. The area also boasts a high safety score of 90 out of 100, surpassing the UK average of 79.
It’s important to note that the data doesn’t specify particular locations within South Godstone where anti-social behaviour might be more common. The crime rate is calculated for the entire BUA, which encompasses the whole area. While the overall rate is low, localised incidents can still occur. Factors such as proximity to public transport links, local amenities, or areas with higher foot traffic could potentially contribute to variations in reported incidents.
Given the population of South Godstone, which is 1549, the total number of reported crimes within the BUA would be approximately 63 (calculated as 1549 x 0.0407). However, the specific types of crimes reported (e.g., theft, vandalism, public order offences) are not detailed in the provided data. Without this breakdown, pinpointing specific ‘hotspots’ is impossible based on this information alone.
To gain a more granular understanding of local crime trends, residents are encouraged to consult the Surrey Police website. This resource often provides more detailed information on reported incidents and allows for searching by location and crime type. Additionally, engaging with local community groups and neighbourhood watch schemes can offer valuable insights and facilitate proactive measures to address any concerns.
