Current local priorities

  • Violence Against Women and Girls - VAWG - Marlborough Safer Neighbourhood Team is committed in the reduction of violent crime including those crimes committed against women and girls. This will be achieved through joint working with partner agencies and proactive policing, alongside community engagement events and speaking to those directly living and working in Harrow.
  • Theft - Shoplifting Reduce incidents of shoplifting within local retail areas and improve offender identification, arrests, and retailer confidence.
  • Anti‑social behaviour continues to impact the quality of life for residents, particularly levels of youth nuisance, street drinking, drug misuse, rowdy gatherings, and behaviour linked to intimidation or environmental damage. Repeat locations and individuals create ongoing concern and reduce public confidence.

How to Read This

Designed for travel planning, not certainty.

  • Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
  • Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
  • A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
  • Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
  • Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
  • The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
