Try the following website and actually see actual crime stats and where they occur. The site doesn't actually break down the stats by time of day or day of week, but gives an indication of the hotspots and type of crimes, should allow all parties to deal with fact rather than perception or emotion. http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Police_Force/Cumbria_Constabulary
