Is Gamesley safe? What the crime data shows

Kerbside does not classify Gamesley as safe or unsafe. The published 12-month Police.uk dataset records 132.5 incidents per 1,000 residents, including antisocial behaviour. Reporting, policing, visitor numbers and the source coverage all affect the figure.

The categories shown are a selection, not the whole total. The rate uses the recorded source denominator above, not the newer Census count. Town-wide rates hide differences between streets and neighbourhoods. The population denominator is below 5,000, so this town is not included in the national comparison.
