This blog is aimed at finding ut the truth about Boscombe and why it is believed to have such a bad reputation. Some would say it is just the perception of crime left from years ago, and that Boscombe is fairly safe nowadays.

​

I am going to investigate the connection between the HMOs (Houses of Multiple Ocupation) and crime levels.

​

Taking a deeper look at Boscombe's main projects and communities, is essential on this occasion.

​

There are many organisations out there trying to help people in recovery from alcoholic or drug abuse, people with mental health issues and improve their housing standards.

​

Dorcet Police and the Bournemouth Borough Council believe that once the majority of drug dealers are got rid of and stopped from offering their services, Boscombe will have much less crime.

​

Despite all that, there is an amazing community of good and artistic people in the area. With the efforts of all them, Operation Galaxy and Dorset Police, Boscombe could become and amazing place.
