Is Coventry England Really Dangerous?

[@sparticusUK]

Ignore the crime rate ranking - Most people in Cov have worked out calling the police is pointless unless you need a crime report number for your insurers.. You get mugged, robbed, burgled or your car broken into or vandalised - Police are as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Their only there to fine you if you break the speed limit or use harsh language online - complete joke and the criminal element know they can function with impunity too.

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

"Most people in Cov have worked out calling the police is pointless" ... and you are claiming that this would be something unique to Coventry? Don't be silly.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Ignore it until you are a victim of crime.

[@markimusmaximus7870]

"Is the criminal still there? No.. ill get you a crime number"

[@robertgisthebest]

I tried to report a burglary back in 2007 and they accused me of lying, they said I just wanted a crime number so I could make an insurance claim. I didn't even have house insurance as I was fairly young and didn't think it that important.

[@owenmorton9765]

As someone who lives in Coventry crime is probably higher than most areas in the UK but most the crime that takes place is either gang related or attacks on businesses, usually robberies. But on the whole it's not that much worse than other areas in the UK and am suprised it is that high compared to other European cities

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

Try looking up the actual figures. Coventry is pretty average for crime, which is not bad going for an urban area.

There’s about 20 seconds’ useful information in this video. Most of it is just repetition. With only 20 seconds of information, it is fair to say that much of this video is purely repetition. It’s fair to say that this video is highly repetitive, there’s only 20 seconds of information. Without the high level of repetition, this video would only have 20 seconds worth of content…

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

20 seconds of "information" from a source that gets zero investigation. The "statistics" used from Numbeo are nonsense as they are simply "fear of crime" questionaries filled in by website visitors. It's an insult to anyone to use them. See my other comments for more ...

[@markimusmaximus7870]

Born & raised in Cov i have lived here 41 years, you can walk anywhere in the city at anytime of day & not have anything much to worry about, the city is mostly empty after 8 at night everyones watching netflix getting blazed

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

There are some places that you wouldn't go after dark. But that could be said of most cities. Stabbings and crime are up all over the UK as a result of multiculturalism. The fact is that different cultures have difficulties coexisting peacefully.

[@thetravellingtokers6385]

YES Coventry is extremely DANGEROUS if your a young woman or child due to mass illegal people immigrants who are not doctors , but could be soldiers ‘ Coventry hotels are full & no longer available for bookings . Knife crime is crazy in Coventry & its really not a safe place in Coventry. Coventry has sold every bit of green belt land to build houses for are new visitors BUT no new schools or hospitals or doctors,please I would challenge anyone that thinks I’m exaggerating to go walk round Coventry city centre walk past KFC or McDonald’s Or walk down the foleshill road or go in any local shop see how friendly the shop keeper are 😩

It was a dump 20 years ago

[@notamused3715]

Mmmm. I lived there in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s and it was rough as a bear's hole then too! I'm glad I got out but sad to hear it's got so much worse. There were some nice people around and positive things about living there during those times. That said, the nearest city to me now is a crime-ridden dump too and it's not in the UK. Maybe it's just our society in general that's degenerating and the reasons are clear to anyone with any bit of cop-on!

[@scottredding7357]

I love. Videos like this. That are written by ChatGPT. It is full. Of statistics. But nothing about crime. And doesn’t talk. To anyone in Coventry. This is the most central comment in England.

[@kristinajendesen7111]

What's with the kilometers? Distances are in miles in the UK.

[@EddieOConnor-w5u]

Stay in the busy areas, dress down, don't wear jewelry, keep your phone hidden and Coventry is a great place.

Not dangerous at all. Coventry is full of genuine, honest and friendly people. PUSB

[@lmg7503]

Coventry was not dangerous once upon a time. But with foreigners it's probably going that way.

[@yusufkassim8236]

What does that even mean? 😂 So you’re saying that ‘foreigners’ are the problem?

[@seanjones2524]

Yeah it's the foreigners that are the problem, not the industrial and economic decay that Coventry never recovered from. Just the foreigners.

[@yusufkassim8236]

[@sandrafinbar]

[@robertnicolae1882]

Ironically, it's exactly the other way round. Coventry is becoming safer and safer with each day, and today it's still English dominated areas such as Willenhall and Wood End which are by far the most dangerous in the city. Look at Far Gosford and compare it to what it was like 10 years ago. Is it a coincidence that it's becoming much more safe and welcoming since foreigners moved in the area?

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

This video is ridiculous. Really, look it up, because statistics from the UK Government, Office of National Statistics, Police crime reports etc etc. show that Coventry is pretty average for crime in the UK. I can't put links (KZbin don't seem to allow that anymore), but it's easy to make the search to find the analysis, reports and statistics. For example, search on "crime rate in UK cities", and you'll find that Coventry is nowhere near the most "dangerous" (a hyperbolic use of language), or 2nd most "dangerous" city the UK. The claim for 2nd most "dangerous" city in Europe is utterly laughable. This video is simply bot-made garbage.

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

And I've just looked up Numbeo ... and their "statistics" are simply surveys of fear of crime made by visitors to the website. It doesn't even make checks (I'm not sure how it could even do this) to see whether the person filling the form lives in the city. Using this "survey" and presenting it as "fact" is unethical in the extreme.

[@battlemorph]

When i was a kid in the 70s, born and raised in Cov, it was 2nd most dangerous English city then.

[@holydiver73]

If there is a crime problem in Coventry, it is unique to some certain dosshole areas like Wood End, Henley Green and Willenhall and Stoke Aldermore. Most of Coventry is safe and welcoming. I’ve lived here all my life, never been mugged, and that last time I had to defend myself from attack was 33 years ago ….and that was actually in Stoke Aldermoor when I was 16. Coventry is no more dangerous than any other city in England or Europe. You can get trouble anywhere you go, especially if you go out looking for it.

Just like almost any city one might intentionally visit, just keep your wits about you. I live in the states, but visit family there when i can and only have been stabbed 3 times (JOKING!). Really though, only issues I've personally witnessed was shop lifting (not me) and exetremely fowl langage from the youth. But, I did get cussed at once for not giving a beggar any change. And, yes, I agree the police are almost useless, but at no fault of their own. The restrictions they have pretty well eliminates any authority they should have. All in all, it's not too bad. I've seen loads worse.

[@demonliquidator]

im sick to death of these bot made videos, people cant even be bothered to make a video anymore, drives me crazy, its just for clicks

[@Shoostep]

This video is calling Coventry the second most dangerous city in Europe. Have you never travelled anywhere? Or are you stupid?

[@holydiver73]

Yes, if you stuck a red rosette on a pig in a wig the people of Coventry will most likely vote for it. They need to vote for positive change if they want positive change.

[@tonypriest3567]

I was born in Coventry in the 50s 60s 7os ok up till then then we had a massive influx of immigration overwhelmed the city. I'd had it with crime robbery smugglers car theft you name it we had it coppers couldn't be bothered to attend anything that was reported. I'd about had it after I got beat up by some let's say not white people. Very badly Infront of my children who were very young at the time. Cops no show yet again. They couldn't even be bothered to take a statement from me when I went to the cop shop. I decided there and then to move away and I now live in. A lovely village. Coventry is a total shit hole. I've been back a few times to visit my brother but I would not live there for a million pounds
