Overall Crime Rate Of 89.8 Crimes Per 1000 People
Tucked away on the Devonshire coastline, the seaside town of Torquay has earned a well-deserved nickname of the English Riviera, thanks in equal parts to its milder climate, bustling harbour, and seafront shops. That flattering moniker is muted slightly, however, by Torquay’s slightly inflated crime rate of 89.8 crimes per 1000 residents.
Violent crime (2167 offences), antisocial behaviour (1322 offences), and criminal damage (634 offences) all head up the list of the most prevalent crimes in the town, and underscore the need for effective security in Torquay.
