Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate August 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in August 2023 stood at 6.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 19.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This built-up area within Bassetlaw, a largely rural district with a small urban core, demonstrates a crime profile significantly more favourable than the national picture. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (27% of total), followed closely by anti-social behaviour (27%) and criminal damage and arson (13.5%). While violent crime rates in Carlton in Lindrick are 32% below the UK average, anti-social behaviour rates are 25% higher nationally. August, a peak holiday month, likely contributes to seasonal fluctuations in crime patterns, with empty homes during school holidays potentially increasing burglary risks. The area's relatively low overall crime rate suggests effective community policing or a low-risk demographic profile, though the higher-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour and criminal damage may reflect local challenges in managing public order. The balance between property and violent crime remains relatively even, with property crime slightly outnumbering violent crime by 15 to 10 incidents. This contrast with the UK-wide trend, where violent crime typically dominates, highlights the unique character of Carlton in Lindrick as a quieter, more suburban area compared to larger urban centres.

August 2023 saw notable shifts in Carlton in Lindrick's crime mix. Drug-related offences doubled compared to July, rising from zero to two incidents—a 100% increase. Shoplifting also doubled, moving from zero to two incidents, while vehicle crime rose by 33.3% (3 to 4). These increases suggest emerging issues that may require targeted interventions. Conversely, other theft incidents plummeted by 83.3% (from six to one), and burglary fell by 25% (from four to three), indicating some success in addressing those areas. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common crime category, with rates 25% above the UK average, while criminal damage and arson were 43% above the national average. This divergence from the UK profile may reflect local factors such as the area's seasonal dynamics—August being a peak time for holidaymakers and short-term rentals, which could inadvertently encourage anti-social behaviour. The sharp rise in drug-related offences, though small in absolute terms, merits closer attention, particularly given the area's otherwise low crime profile. Residents may find the 100% increase in shoplifting incidents noteworthy, as it suggests a new trend that could impact local businesses. These changes highlight the importance of continuous monitoring and community engagement to address emerging challenges while maintaining the area's overall safety record.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in August 2023 was 6.5 per 1,000, a 21.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area's generally low crime profile, though it contrasts with the UK-wide seasonal trend, where crime rates typically rise in summer due to increased outdoor activity and tourism. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in August—a figure that, while modest, is a local metric without a direct UK-wide comparison. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 154 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's relative safety compared to larger urban centres. With a population of 5,708, Carlton in Lindrick's crime statistics translate to a manageable number of incidents for local authorities to address. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area's crime rate is well below the UK average, suggesting that local policing strategies, community cohesion, or the area's character as a small built-up area within a rural district may contribute to its safety. However, the higher-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour and criminal damage indicate that specific challenges persist, which may require tailored approaches to address without compromising the area's overall low crime rate.
