West Mercia Police figures, which are available via the official website, show the number of reported crimes during January 2025 in each area of Shropshire.
In each of these neighbourhoods, violence and sexual offences were the most commonly reported crimes.
But there were also reports of anti-social behaviour, shoplifting and other crimes in some areas, too.
Detective Chief Inspector Lee Holehouse said: “We understand how much of an impact violent and sexual crimes can have on victims, and the immense courage it takes to come forward and talk to police about such traumatic experiences.
“We’re committed to supporting victims and would always encourage those who have been affected to come forward and report it. It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened, we will listen, we will support you and we will take action.
“We continue to develop and improve our approach to sexual offences following the introduction of Op Soteria to ensure we take a victim centred, suspect focussed, context led approach. We have made great strides but recognise there is much more to do”.
“A wealth of support is available and you’ll be supported throughout the process by specially trained officers and sexual violence advocates.”
We have listed, in descending order, the areas in Shropshire, according to the number of sexual and violent offences in each area that were reported to West Mercia Police.
Please note: The figures are only for the month of January 2025 and the list does not include any area in Telford and Wrekin.
The figures for the 14 neighbourhoods of Telford and Wrekin were summarised separately by the Shropshire Star last month.
