## Is NR33 safe? What police records show

In the 12 months to August 2026, police recorded crimes and anti-social behaviour in NR33 at a rate of 67.5 per 1,000 people.
That compares with 74.0 per 1,000 people across the NR postcode area.
In August 2026 alone, 227 cases of crime and anti-social behaviour were recorded in NR33.
In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were violence and sexual offences (1,143), other crime (423) and criminal damage and arson (324).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in NR33 was 65.3 per 1,000 people.

Rates are per resident, so places that many people work in or visit, such as Westminster, the City of London and other city centres, have far higher rates than their residents alone would suggest.
