Craigmillar amongst capital's best for crime clear-up

2 July
Craigmillar has one of the capital's best rates for crime clear-up - better than Morningside and Murrayfield according to new figures released this week.

A map of clear-up rates across the capital shows large variations in the percentage of crimes solved in different areas, with Craigmillar amongst the best on 42 per cent.

The figures also show that less than a third of offences are solved in many areas of Edinburgh despite a city-wide average of 40 per cent between last April and March.

One of the main reasons behind the discrepancies is that more minor crimes such as vandalism, which are more difficult to solve, are reported in affluent areas.
