Overall Crime Rate Of 99.9 Crimes Per 1000 People
One of the key industrial towns across Cheshire, and a major provider of energy and manufacturing to the North West, Runcorn’s roots are unsurprisingly deep-rooted in industry and production. But an undercurrent of crime stains that assiduous nature, sitting at 99.9 crimes per 1000 residents.
That rate is predominantly made up by three main types of crime – violent offences (3183 incidents), antisocial behaviour (1004 incidents) and public order offences (924 incidents), but drug offences (165 incidents) are also a concern, especially as they’re more than 85% higher than the region’s average.
