Bristol's city centre has one of the worst crime rates in the entirety of England and Wales, according to latest figures.
During the year ending January 2022, Bristol City Centre was ranked as the 47th most dangerous place in England and Wales following the release of the latest crime figures. The area suffered a total of 7,729 crimes within the 12 month period leading to January 2022 which works out at a rate of 388 crimes per 1,000 people who live there.
The biggest concern relates to anti-social behaviour where 85 of those types of crime are being recorded for every 1,000 residents in the city centre. The neighbourhood also had the highest rates of robbery (10 per 1,000 residents), theft from the person (six per 1,000 residents), and criminal damage and arson (27 per 1,000 residents).
