The most surprising finding is that anti-social behaviour in Daventry is 43% above the UK average, despite an overall crime rate 15.4% below the national average. This disparity may stem from the area's mix of residential and commercial spaces, which can foster transient populations and social tensions. Violence and sexual offences, though 12% below the UK average, remain the most common crime type, likely linked to local nightlife and public spaces. Conversely, property crime rates are notably lower than the UK average, potentially due to effective community policing or the area's suburban nature, which may deter opportunistic theft.
