Overall Crime Rate Of 125.9 Crimes Per 1000 People
Oldham’s history as one of the UK’s leading textile and cotton producers has since fallen by the wayside, but has given way to a substantial regeneration project that’s set to modernise this Greater Manchester town. However, in that time, we’ve seen its climbing crime rate creep up to 125.9 crimes per 1000 residents.
As part of that rate, we find significant numbers across violent crime (6465 offences), theft (3746 incidents) and public order offences (2342 incidents), all of which underscore the need for effective security across Oldham.
