Greater Manchester is the second-largest metropolitan area in the UK outside of London. The area had around 334,000 recorded crimes in 2018, compared to around 165,000 for Lancashire and around 134,000 for Merseyside.[2] Similar to Greater Manchester's number of crimes are West Yorkshire (291,000 in 2018), West Midlands (252,000 in 2018) and Kent (197,000). The Metropolitan Police had 835,000 recorded crimes in 2018.
Salford is the neighboring Manchester city and has been facing illegal issues for a long time. The people of Salford are always very kind and cooperate with the authorities to implement the laws every time.
Salford criminal activities include burglary, theft, vandalism, and other antisocial activities. The local authorities, with the help of people, are taking control of such illegal activities and the city is transforming into a safe and secure area.[3]
Motoring
Around 124,000 speeding motorists were caught from 2018 to 2019, the most in the UK, and around 2,600 more than London.[citation needed]

Terrorism
During the Troubles, the Provisional IRA carried out the 1996 Manchester Bombing using a lorry bomb, the largest bomb detonated in Great Britain since the Second World War.[4] The attack left 212 injured, but caused no fatalities, and resulted in about £700 million worth of damage.[5] Manchester had earlier been bombed by the IRA in a 1992 attack, also resulting in no fatalities.[6]
When talking about the most dangerous areas of Manchester; Moss Side, Salford, Cheetham Hill, Longsight, and Oldham are the places where criminal and illegal activities are on the top.
