Overall Crime Rate Of 38.7 Crimes Per 1000 People
A blossoming town on the banks of the River Tay, Perth is one of the flatter and more fertile areas of central Scotland. Flanked to its North and South by towering hills and cliffsides, the town’s geography isn’t its only draw – a low crime rate of just 38.7 crimes per 1000 residents seals the metaphorical deal.
Of course, that’s not to say the area is free of crime – no area truly is. Perth’s main issue stems from a soaring rate of road traffic offences (5848 incidents), which is one of the highest we’ve seen. As part of that, we see worrying figures across both speeding (1968 incidents) and the unlawful use of a vehicle (1636 incidents).
