The most dangerous places to live in Hull and East Yorkshire revealed
Hull city centre is the most dangerous place to live in Hull and East Yorkshire, according to the latest crime figures.
During the year ending January 2022, Hull city centre suffered more crime than anywhere else in our area.
A total of 4,895 crimes were committed in the area over the last 12 months. When compared to the population, that works out as 490 crimes for every
1,000 people who live there, which makes it the 17th most dangerous place
in all England and Wales.
A big concern in Hull city centre is the high rate of violence and sexual offences, with 183 of these types of crimes for every 1,000 residents. This is the seventh highest rate in the country.
But the city centre also had our area’s highest rates of antisocial behaviour with 51 crimes for every 1,000 residents, burglary (16 per 1,000 residents), drug offences (12 per 1,000 residents), weapons offences (four per 1,000 residents), robbery (five per 1,000 residents), and public order offences (64 per 1,000 residents).
Bridlington Hilderthorpe - the only area outside the city to make the top
10 - had the next highest crime rate, at 306 offences per 1,000 residents, which was partly driven by the highest rates of shoplifting in the area -
42 offences for every 1,000 residents.
Boulevard and St Andrew's Quay in Hull had the third-highest crime rate,
(277 crimes per 1,000 people).
At the other end of the spectrum, the safest place in Hull and East Riding
of Yorkshire was Driffield West and Huggate, where there were just 26 offences for every 1,000 residents.
In all England and Wales the most dangerous place to live is Strand, St
James and Mayfair in Westminster, London - where there were almost two
crimes committed for every resident. Strand, St James and Mayfair has the country’s highest rates of burglary (31 per 1,000 residents), drug offences (106 per 1,000 residents), public order offences (103 per 1,000 residents), robbery (83 per 1,000 residents) and violence and sexual offences (289 per 1,000 residents).
That was followed by nearby Fitzrovia West & Soho, also in Westminster,
then Central Blackpool, Leeds City Centre, City of London (the historic financial district home to the Stock Exchange and the Bank of England), and Liverpool’s Albert Dock and Queen's Dock neighbourhood. Central Blackpool has the highest rate of anti-social behaviour in the country (291 crimes
per 1,000 residents).
But the Langley Green and Gatwick Airport area of Crawley has the highest rate of weapons offences.
And Southsea West in Portsmouth is the
shoplifting capital of England and Wales, with a rate of 90 offences for every 1,000 residents.
Jeffrey DeMarco, assistant director at the charity Victim Support said: “High crime rates in any area of the country are cause for concern. We see first-hand the devastating impact crime has on victims - from making them question their sense of safety to severely damaging their mental health.
“When looking at these figures, it is worth keeping in mind that there are many different ways of measuring crime. Because many victims don’t report to the police, the true crime rates could be much higher.
“It is vital that victims are given support, no matter where they live or whether or not they have reported the crime. Visit the Victim Support
website or call our free, 24/7 helpline on 08 08 16 89 111.”
