alibabes   10 #133 Posted July 26, 2007 Hmm I guess you have a point on the first one and I can't really comment on the statistics specifically - only to say that Sheffield has a lot less crime than we expect and a couple of years ago I heard Broomhill had the highest rate of burglaries in Sheffield! Although we could then get into a whole debate about whether people even bother to report crime and then we'll be here forever!!!

Although we could then get into a whole debate about whether people even bother to report crime and then we'll be here forever!!!  I'm not sure burglaries would be consider in the same way, some people may travel to other areas to burgle other people rather than burgle in an area in which they live (I am not saying that burglers live in the Mannor by the way).  Continuing on the same point we were discussing though, if you drive through places like the Mannor and then Broomhill you'll notice the Mannor has more boarded up places, more smashed bus stops, more smashed telephone boxes etc. which tend to be more local crimes, ie bored youths, unlike burglaries which can be crimes commited by people travelling. You have less chance of someone thinking I'll drive to the Mannor tonight and smash a phonebox up, it's more of an on the spot crime or something done unplanned.
