Surprised residents said they 'have never experienced crime', as Nottinghamshire has been named the 18th most dangerous place to live in the UK, according to official data. New data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has revealed which are the worst places in the UK for crime.
And Nottinghamshire has claimed the 18th spot. However, the news came as a surprise to many people who have lived in Nottinghamshire all their lives.
The latest figures show that across county 88 crimes have been recorded a year per 1,000 people. But Nottinghamshire Police said their most up to date data, recorded between April 1 last year and February 3, shows a reduction in crime.
