UK Amusement Parks Crime Risk Snapshot

From Thorpe Park to Chessington, thrill-seekers in the U.K. have been brushing off winter and heading outdoors to amusement parks since the official start to spring.

A score of 1 indicates the crime risk is equal to that of the national average. An index score of 2.0x indicates that a state is twice as risky as the national average. An index score of 0.5x indicates an area is half as risky. Know the risk. Be prepared. And take a spin on a coaster for us.
