Tower Hamlets
Police recorded violent & sexual crimes per 1000 residents: 35.07 per year.
Tower Hamlets is a borough in East London that is famous for the Brick Lane market. It is also a borough with an extraordinary number of cases of domestic violence, and almost 70% of all victims are female.
There are also issues with street violence, with at least 8 gangs active in the area.
While there is no single explanation for this trend, there are several factors that may contribute to the higher rate of violent crime in this area:
Demographic makeup. Tower Hamlets has a relatively young population, with a high proportion of people aged 25-34. The borough has one of the lowest proportions of residents above 65 years old in the entire country: only 5.6%.
There have been reports of tension and conflict between different ethnic and religious groups in the borough, particularly involving Somali communities. Tower Hamlets is one of the most diverse boroughs in England, and 60.8% of all residents are considered part of minority groups.
Here is how a former resident of Tower Hamlets described the place:
I lived in Tower Hamlets all my life. I used to live in Bromley by Bow (an area of Tower Hamlets), but there were gang wars and stabbings going on literally every day. I saw kids selling drugs and riding on mopeds, creating noise almost 24/7. Even when I used to go shopping, I used to see boys chasing people with very big knives. Now I live in Canning Town, which is a very quiet place.
