Annesley Woodhouse Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Annesley Woodhouse’s crime rate in June 2023 stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 20% below the UK average of 8.5. This position, while consistent with the area’s historical trend of lower-than-average crime, reveals a nuanced picture shaped by seasonal and local factors. Violence and sexual offences (10 incidents, 27.8% of total) and anti-social behaviour (10 incidents, 27.8%) were the most prevalent categories, though the former was 35% below the UK average. The latter, however, was 28% above, indicating a potential mismatch between local enforcement priorities and the nature of incidents. Vehicle crime, at 0.9 per 1,000, was 91% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area’s built-up character and reliance on car-based mobility. June, as the start of summer, typically sees increased activity in public spaces, which may contribute to higher anti-social behaviour rates, though the absence of a significant rise in violence suggests other factors, such as local initiatives or community cohesion, may be at play. The relatively low rate of violent crime, despite the seasonal context, contrasts with the UK’s broader pattern, where summer months often see spikes in violent offences. This divergence may be attributed to Annesley Woodhouse’s smaller population and lower levels of concentrated deprivation compared to larger urban centres.

June 2023 saw a 16.7% decrease in violence and sexual offences, from 12 to 10 incidents, marking a significant drop in the most common crime category. This decline may partly explain the overall rate’s proximity to the UK average despite the month-on-month increase. Conversely, three categories—other theft, drugs, and possession of weapons—rose by 100% compared to May, reflecting a sharp upward trend in these specific areas. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 27.8% of all crimes, was 28% above the UK average, suggesting localised pressures that contrast with the area’s generally lower crime profile. Vehicle crime, at 0.9 per 1,000, was 91% above the UK average, a stark anomaly that may indicate vulnerabilities in local infrastructure or vehicle security practices. These shifts highlight the need for targeted interventions in areas where the rate diverges significantly from national trends.

Annesley Woodhouse’s crime rate in June 2023 rose 12.5% from 6.0 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents, yet remains 20% below the UK average. This increase, while notable, reflects a localised shift rather than a national trend. Daily crime statistics show one reported incident per day on average, a figure that, while consistent with previous months, underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure of 1-in-148 residents highlights the rarity of crime relative to the area’s size. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be closer to 1-in-100. The population context—5,322 residents—further illustrates how even small absolute numbers translate to meaningful differences in per capita rates. While the rise in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime may suggest seasonal or community-specific pressures, the overall trajectory remains firmly below the national benchmark, a position reinforced by the area’s lower exposure to violent crime compared to the UK average.
