Top 10 best and worst areas for anti-social behaviour in Nottinghamshire

The top 10 worst and best areas for anti-social behaviour in Nottinghamshire have been revealed. Hyper-local police figures show that there were 1,438 incidents of anti-social behaviour (ASB) recorded in the City Centre and Trent Bridge neighbourhood in 2021-22, which is a 1% fall from the previous year.

These incidents can include vandalism, verbal abuse, shouting, swearing, fighting, intimidation and harassment. When compared to the population, that equates to 109 crimes for every 1,000 people living in the neighbourhood – the highest rate in Nottinghamshire, the 22nd highest of nearly 7,000 neighbourhoods in England and Wales, and much higher than the national average of 21 incidents per 1,000 people.

The Park and Castle, also in Nottingham, had the next highest rate in the county at 76 crimes of ASB per 1,000 residents, followed by Mansfield Town Centre and Broomhill (74 per 1,000 residents). At the other end of the spectrum, Cropwell Bishop, Kinoulton and Upper Broughton in Rushcliffe is the safest neighbourhood in our area for ASB, with just five incidents for every 1,000 residents.

Across Nottinghamshire as a whole, there were a total of 31,546 incidents of ASB recorded by police last year, which was a 35% drop from 48,654 during the year ending March 2021. However, much of that year was spent in lockdown due to the pandemic, which may have affected the figures. In particular, police clamped down on groups gathering together due to Covid-19 restrictions, which may have been classed as “anti-social”.
