Community Safety domain rank classification |
|
Description
|
The purpose of this domain is to measure deprivation relating to living in a safe community. It covers actual experience of crime and fire, as well as perceptions of safety whilst out and about in the local area. The domain has a relative weight of 5% in the overall index. There are six indicators in the community safety domain, weighted as follows. Factor analysis was used to calculate the indicator weights.
- 61% Police Recorded Criminal Damage
- 19% Police Recorded Violent Crime
- 8% Police Recorded Anti-Social Behaviour
- 5% Police Recorded Burglary
-4% Police Recorded Theft
- 3% Fire Incidents
All of the indicators are expressed as rates, with the numerator consisting of the number of crimes/incidents/fires per LSOA (averaged over two years) and the denominator consisting of the number of people/properties in the LSOA.
For every indicator, each LSOA was ranked in order, with the most deprived LSOA ranked 1 and the least deprived LSOA ranked 1,909. These ranks were assigned to a normal distribution, with low ranks receiving a low normalised score. They were then combined using the weights above. As with all domains, the final domain ranks were exponentially transformed to form a domain score. |
