Interpreting the Vehicle Theft Maps

For example, there are more retail establishments in the central part of the city. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. Red areas on the vehicle theft rate map do not always indicate danger for Newcastle residents who live there.

More issues arise with places like airports, parks, and schools.

Parks and designated recreational areas, of which Newcastle has 0, have the same problem. Of Newcastle’s 6,903 residents, few live near recreational areas. Because many people visit, crime rates may appear higher even for safe parks. Ultimately crime happens where people are, whether they live there or not. Before writing off an area as unsafe, look at both the crime rate and total crime maps, then consider nearby destinations that people may be visiting.
