Overall Crime Rate Of 97.2 Crimes Per 1000 People
Synonymous with Yorkshire’s extensive history, the town and parish of Beverley dates back as far as the 7th Century, with hints towards its Viking and Norman heritage on display in its architecture and religious buildings. It may not be a surprise, then, that the town’s crime rate falls well below the countywide average at 97.2 crimes per 1000 residents.
Of course, there’s still areas of concern in that ratio. The town faces an uphill struggle with its rates of violent crime (589 offences) and antisocial behaviour (568 offences), and especially so with its rate of shoplifting (326 offences) that’s more than double its region’s average.
