Coventry named most dangerous city in UK

The list was based on factors including perceived threat of harassment by locals



Coventry has been named as the most dangerous city in the UK and one of the top ten in Europe by a geography website.

According to World Atlas, Coventry is ranked as the seventh most dangerous city in Europe - ahead of Sarajevo, in Bosnia; Glasgow, in Scotland; and Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. It is also the highest placed city in the UK.

The website says rankings are based on a wide range of factors including “perceived threat of being annoyed, harassed, insulted, or solicited by locals.”

Other factors include perception of crime levels, recent changes in crime, safety walking alone and fear of muggings or robberies.

The article also identifies the Willenhall, Foleshill, Hillfields, and Wood End areas as being “hot spots” of criminal activity.

Not the most scientific of studies.

Sadly, things like this will be taken as gospel, and that actually harms the city.
