Read the numbers honestly. Rates are per 1,000 residents, so city centres
and tourist areas look worse than they feel - many visitors, few residents. Recorded crime is not the same as how
safe a place feels, and recording practices differ between countries, so compare within the United Kingdom only.
Scotland - on its own scale
Scotland records crime differently from England & Wales, so Safetlas never mixes the two.
Safest: Shetland Islands (18.0/1,000) · highest: Glasgow City (82.9/1,000), 2024-25.
