The question of what specific types of violence and sexual offences are reported in Bewdley, within the Wyre Forest district, requires a nuanced understanding of available data. While detailed breakdowns of specific offence types are not publicly available for Bewdley itself, we can provide a contextual overview based on the reported crime rate and overall safety score.
Bewdley, a built-up area (BUA) with a population of 11,348, currently has a crime rate of 61.1 per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000. Furthermore, Bewdley boasts a safety score of 84 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79. This suggests a perception of relative safety within the community.
Due to the lack of granular data, we cannot list specific offences reported. However, violence and sexual offences, as categories, are included within the reported crime statistics contributing to this overall rate. These categories encompass a wide range of incidents, from minor assaults to more serious crimes. It’s important to note that the reporting of crime, rather than the incidence of crime, directly influences these statistics. Increased reporting can artificially inflate recorded crime rates, even if the actual level of crime remains stable or decreases.
The lower crime rate and higher safety score in Bewdley are encouraging indicators. However, they shouldn’t foster complacency. Understanding the broader categories of reported offences, like violence and sexual offences, is a vital step towards community safety. Local police resources and community initiatives play a key role in addressing these issues and ensuring the wellbeing of Bewdley residents. Further information regarding crime types and trends can often be found on the West Mercia Police website, although specific breakdowns for Bewdley may not be readily available.
