Annesley Woodhouse Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Annesley Woodhouse's crime rate in November 2024 stood at 8.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 6.6% above the UK average of 7.6. This divergence, while modest, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal influences. The most prominent category was anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 32.6% of all crimes—134% above the UK average. This stark contrast suggests a unique challenge in the area, potentially linked to the built-up nature of the community and the density of its population. Violence and sexual offences followed closely, making up 30.2% of total crimes, though this category was 7% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the onset of dark evenings—may have contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime. The latter, at 0.8 per 1,000, was 82% above the UK average, likely influenced by increased retail activity and the movement of goods during the holiday season. Drug-related crime, at 0.6 per 1,000, was also 131% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect persistent challenges in this category. While the overall rate remains relatively low compared to major urban centres, the concentration of certain crime types highlights areas for targeted intervention. The interplay between local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the built environment appears to shape the area's crime profile in ways that distinguish it from broader UK trends.

November 2024 marked a sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, doubling from 7 to 14 incidents—a 100% increase. This category alone accounted for 32.6% of all crimes, far exceeding the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. The surge in anti-social behaviour may partly explain the overall 6.6% increase in the area's crime rate compared to the UK average. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson incidents rose from 0 to 2, a 100% jump, likely tied to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night. In contrast, violence and sexual offences fell by 23.5% (17 to 13), a decrease that contrasts with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Vehicle crime also saw a 100% increase, rising from 2 to 4, potentially reflecting heightened activity during the Black Friday shopping period. The area's drug-related crime rate was 131% above the UK average, with 3 incidents reported, highlighting a persistent challenge in this category.

Annesley Woodhouse's crime rate in November 2024 rose to 8.1 per 1,000 residents, a 26.4% increase from the previous month's 6.4 per 1,000. This places the area 6.6% above the UK average, a small but notable divergence. On a daily basis, the area recorded one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that reflects the concentrated nature of incidents in a relatively small built-up area. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 124 residents, a ratio that underscores the density of incidents relative to the community size. While the overall rate remains within the broader UK context, the sharp increase from October suggests a seasonal or situational factor influencing crime patterns. The population of 5,322 residents means each individual faces a higher likelihood of encountering crime compared to areas with lower population densities, though the absolute number of incidents remains modest.
