both low income families and successful professionals

Key Issues
• Presence of Walsall town centre in the Area means a high
number of workplaces, with above borough average density.
Retail sector is particularly important locally.
• Very low level of economically active adults compared with
Walsall average, with especially low numbers in full time
employment: 2 in 5 women and 1 in 5 men are economically
inactive (i.e. out of the labour market altogether).
• Slightly higher than borough and national average levels of
out‐of‐work benefit dependency.
• Levels of adult basic skills (literacy, numeracy and ICT) similar
to borough average, but with a relatively high proportion of
adults with higher level qualifications.

income families (for a variety of reasons)
• Main child health issues in the area are:

5 Crime & Community Safety
www.walsall.gov.uk
43
Key Issues
• Relatively high level of crime in the Area as a whole —
although crime across the borough is currently at an all time
low
• Town centre is a particular hot spot for crime and anti‐social
behaviour within the Area Partnership as reflected in
existence of town centre Police Priority Area.
• Theft from shops and stalls is the most commonly recorded
type of crime
www.walsall.gov.uk
44
The Area Partnership is within the South Walsall Police Sector
Geography
It is covered by the following 4 Police Neighbourhoods (which
are coextensive with ward boundaries)
• Paddock
• Palfrey
• Pleck
• St Matthews
There are three areas in Walsall that have been identified as
priority areas for crime and community safety issues, based on
an analysis of key datasets. These areas have been identified
by a range of local partnership services as they experience a
relatively high number of repeat incidents that create multiple
demands. Whilst short and medium term plans and activity
take place, a longer term partnership wide approach is seen as
necessary to resolve key issues in these areas.

Anti-Social Behaviour
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) incident hotspots, Jan - Dec 14
The map (right) shows hotspots of Anti-Social
Behaviour (ASB) incidents within the Area
Partnership. Data includes Police reported
ASB offences 1st January – 31st December
2014, along with partnership data from the
ASB Unit, Beechdale, Caldmore Accord, Clean
and Green, Environmental Health, Fire
Service, Trading Standards, Walsall Housing
Group and Watmos.
Walsall South has the highest level of ASB
incidents across the borough accounting for
26.4% of all incidents. Although this AP does
not have the highest rate of incidents with
91.8 ASB incidents per 1,000 residents being
the third most prevalent AP but still sitting
above the Walsall average of 77.5.
There are a number of prevalent areas across
the AP but the main areas are the Town
Centre extending into Caldmore and the
border between Pleck and Birchills-Leamore.

Total Recorded Crime Anti Social Behaviour

Of the six AP’s, Walsall South has the highest Total Recorded Crime
with 31.4% of all offenses in the borough committed here, although
this is to be expected with this area containing the town centre. There
are over 25 more crimes committed per 1,000 residents than in
Walsall overall (87.57 in Walsall South compared to 62.06 in Walsall).
The chart above shows that rates for all crime types are above the
Walsall average with particular reference to Violent Crime which sits
well above the borough average.

There is a clear divide by Constituency, with
the most positive views held by residents in
Aldridge Brownhills and Walsall South, and
the least in Walsall North.
Public confidence in the police is most likely
to be increased if the local police are viewed
to ‘deal with things that matter to
communities’, ‘be relied on to be there when
needed’, and ‘work with people in the
community to improve neighbourhoods’.

Understanding
Confidence
Intervals (CI)
1
Below is an explanation of
charts that include 95%
confidence intervals (CI) to
help you understand how
to interpret their meanings.
The example chart shows
Respiratory mortality per
1,000 population. The
results relating to the AP for
which this profile relates are
coloured red.
3
2
The dotted line running through the chart shows the average
rate of respiratory mortality across the whole of Walsall.
The Confidence Interval symbol I represents how sure we are in the actual result within a +/- margin of error at 95% CI .
1. Statistically significantly higher:
If the overall CI -/+ range lies entirely above comparison average line then the result is seen as statistically significantly
higher than the borough average. Example #1 North Walsall.
2. Statistically significantly lower
If it lies entirely below the comparison average line then the result is seen as statistically significantly lower than the
borough average. Example # 2 Chuckery.
3. Within normal range
If the CI -/+ range crosses the average line at any point then the result is not seen as statistically significant but the actual
result maybe still be higher or lower than the average. Example # 3 Moxley.
NB in this example a lower rate is better, in some charts a higher rate is better.
