Which Crimes Are Problematic in Bowmanville?
Although a great town, Bowmanville is not immune to crime. Before COVID-19 and close to the end of 2019, a 10% increase in violent crime was reported in Durham Region.
It is not evident which Durham areas have seen the increase. Instead, the report speaks of the entire region. The report mentions that the shift is driven by “increases in harassing communication calls, threatening death or bodily harm calls, and low-level assaults.”
Conversely, it has been noted that since the pandemic and requests for social distancing, there has been a decline in crime rates<. Although the decline in crime is noteworthy, it does not imply that crime has disappeared entirely. There is still criminal activity, just on a lower scale.
In recent Durham Region news, there have been mentions of specific crimes. Domestic assault, impaired driving, stabbing, robbery, drug trafficking, child pornography, and other incidents have been reported. Based on the reports, it is not clear which crimes are the most problematic.
Is Bowmanville Considered Safe?
According to Areavibes’ predictions, Bowmanville’s crime rates are 30% lower than the national average. It has also been reported that Bowmanville’s violent crimes are 27% lower than the national average. Property crime is also 31% less in Bowmanville.
