The City of Nottingham is widely reported to be one of the most crime hit areas of England, and many crimes show statistics that are several times higher than the English average. A nationwide survey in 2006 said that Nottingham topped the crime rankings for police statistics on murders, burglaries, and vehicle crime, and "had almost five times the level of crime as the safest town in the rankings". The survey was initially condemned as inaccurate by Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire police force [5] due largely to the use of out of date (2001) population figures, although a revised survey based on 2004 population estimates backed up the original rankings. While the crime figures in the city are high, initiatives introduced to tackle the levels of crime appear to be having an effect, with a 2006 Home Office survey showing that the overall level of crime in the city is down by 12% since 2003

Nottingham has a bad reputation for crime at present.
However, like all major cities it will depend on what area you are in. You have only got to get one gang on a bad estate committing high profile crimes to give a city a bad name. This does not necessarily mean other parts of the place are bad.
These days you have to be prudent wherever you go in any city, but if you are sensible you will be safe.

Nottingham is NOT the gun crime capital of the UK.
Nottingham has less violence then Blackpool.
It's all talk and spin by Gordon Brown, and by people who like the idea that it's a violent place, like gangs bragging. I'm not saying it's perfect, but its just as safe during the day as any city.

Let's put it this way -I live in "Razor City" (Glasgow), and would not move there (Nottingham) without a kevlar suit from head to toe. And my own Barrett .50 cal man-stopper.
