UK Wide Crime Statistics

Edinburgh Key Crime Stats

Overall Crime Rate Of 877 Crimes Per 10,000 People. Scotland’s historic capital, and one of the UK’s largest metropolitan areas, the city of Edinburgh represents both a huge cultural and industrial landmark. Many might expect such a large city to have one of the higher crime rates, but effective policing and Scottish security resources mean that it occupies the seventh spot on our list, with 877 crimes per 10,000 residents.

However, that overall crime rate only tells a partial tale. The city ranks second for many of the most pivotal stats, including crimes of dishonesty (14,623 incidents) and road traffic offences (9091 incidents), and experienced the most burglaries (1449 incidents) and thefts from a motor vehicle (525 incidents).
