Oi Students!

Let's talk crime; we're proud that Nottingham is seeing year on year reductions in crime, particularly crimes which tend to affect students, like burglary. We work hard to give you the latest on crime prevention however; be vigilant, protect yourself and your valuables!

This site will help you, it's logical and it ain't rocket science; students who follow this advice are Safer Students!

One of the best ways to deter burglars is by using SmartWater, a property marking liquid which has been used in Nottingham since 2001. You can learn more by clicking on the SmartWater page, and whilst you're there, don't forget to check out the quick way to make your valuables less appealing to burglars by registering them on www.immobilise.com.

The Easily Done campaign is backed by Nottinghamshire Police and Nottingham Crime & Drugs Partnership as part of their efforts to reduce crime against students in Nottingham. There were 17,000 fewer victims of crime compared to the previous 12 months.

Smartwater is available FREE to residents in Nottingham City, or residents who pay their Council Tax to Nottingham City Council.
