Overall Crime Rate Of 112.5 Crimes Per 1000 People
With a history that dates back over a thousand year, Taunton’s architecture and religious sites are its key attractions to the visitor, but with a flourishing economy, it also appears to be a great opportunity for business and home owners, too. Unfortunately, beneath the surface lurks an alarming crime rate – 112.5 crimes per 1000 residents.
Within that rate, we find high statistics across both violent crime (2785 incidents) and antisocial behaviour (1262 incidents), as well as a rate of bicycle theft (286 incidents) that’s more than three times as high as the countywide average.
