Wallace Street is located in Newcastle upon Tyne. Crime is a significant concern, with 601 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 296 violent offences were recorded (49% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.
