why is there so much crime in Wrexham compared to the rest of north wales?

I see that more police are to patrol our streets in order to reduce high crime rates in our town. I was wondering why there is Wrexham such a crime hot spot and what can be done to reduce the amount of criminal activities endured the inhabitants of our fair town. It seems that not much has changed since the Guardian in 2000 described Wrexham as a ‘Wild West’ border town.http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/jul/04/ukcrime.drugsandalcohol

Maybe the new Arts Center (hub thing) will help in this respect, the inhabitants of our fair town will be queuing up to get in there instead of committing crimes. Ummm Mmmmm Mmmmm !

It would be good to see an up to date report rather than one which is 16 years old.

I doubt it would be much different now, although you could add Arson to the list now !!

It’s always been a rough town.
I blame the wrong kind of Pie & Chips, me.

I believe there are a number of reasons.

1) Gateway into north wales from merseryside
2) Large council estate
3) Poorly run area

You can only appreciate just how bad Wrexham is once you move from the area and see how much better many places are. People who have lived there for years are no longer shocked or appalled at the area. Instead they just accept it as normal and think everywhere is that dirty and crime ridden.
