Crime in Bradford, United Kingdom

Give it 5 years it'll one of the safest city's again after we have picked it clean off all the cousin marrying grooming gang and heroin dealing rapist that live there.....you know who you are smellys

Bradford seems to have been spammed with false reports, it isn't a war zone, your not gonna get stabbed in the night,you're not gonna get robbed on every corner.

Bradford in reality has the same crime rate as any other major city.

I'm female and have lived in Bradford for a number of years. As with all cities, I'm mindful of low-level crime (pickpockets etc) but I've never felt threatened here. It isn't a wealthy city but people are generally kind, generous and helpful. While I wish it was a little bit cleaner and that there was more investment, I like the city very much and feel safe here.

A very unfairly judged city in my opinion. Bradford has received a perception of being unsafe, unwelcoming and crime riddled and I emphasise the term 'perception'. From my numerous experiences the reality is totally different.

Like all cities it isn't without its problems, but I've never been threatened or felt threatened. Some great family trips to the theatre, cinema and museum. It is a city with a rich heritage made obvious by its numerous stunning Victorian buildings and has some great public spaces which numerous families enjoy - particularly the City Park mirror pool.

I've lived in Bradford city centre for 27 years, never had any trouble whatsoever. I often go out for a drink and to socialise in the city centre too and once again have witnessed little in the way of trouble. Bradford is no worse and no more dangerous than any other large city.
