About This Ranking
This ranking shows neighbourhoods with the highest recorded crime rates based on official police data from data.police.uk.
Note: High crime rates don't necessarily mean an area is "dangerous". Commercial areas, city centres, and transport hubs often have higher reported crime due to more people passing through, not because residents are at greater risk.
