Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Carlton in Lindrick’s August 2024 crime rate (8.2 per 1,000 residents) exactly matches the UK average, but the composition of crimes paints a distinct local picture. Anti-social behaviour (16 incidents) was the most common category, contributing 34.0% of the month’s total and 94% above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This contrast with the national trend may reflect the area’s built-up character, where concentrated populations and limited public space could amplify disruptions. Violence and sexual offences (13 incidents) accounted for 27.7% of crimes, slightly below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, a discrepancy that may stem from the area’s small size and lower population density. Seasonal factors also shaped the crime profile: August, a peak holiday month, likely influenced burglary rates, with empty homes increasing vulnerability. However, the overall rate remained stable despite this risk, suggesting community measures or temporary absences may have mitigated potential spikes. Vehicle crime (4 incidents) was 56% above the UK average, tied to local parking patterns or the area’s proximity to major roads. This data underscores the importance of contextual analysis, where geography and population dynamics interact to shape crime trends uniquely, even when rates align with national benchmarks.

August 2024 saw a 100% increase in burglary and robbery, from 1 to 2 incidents each, marking a significant spike in property-related crime. This rise may partly explain the broader shift in crime mix, with property crimes (14 total) now accounting for 29.8% of the month’s total, compared to 27.7% for violent crimes. Anti-social behaviour remained the most prevalent category, contributing 34.0% of all reported incidents—94% above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This discrepancy highlights a local challenge not mirrored nationally, potentially linked to the area’s built-up character and community dynamics. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 71.4%, from 14 to 4, a drop consistent with August’s seasonal context, where fewer local residents may frequent high-risk areas during holidays. The UK comparison for shoplifting also stands out: Carlton in Lindrick’s rate (0.4 per 1,000) was 44% below the national average, suggesting local retail environments may have fewer vulnerabilities compared to other regions.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate for August 2024 (8.2 per 1,000 residents) matches the UK average, but the month-on-month decline of 19.0% from 10.2 per 1,000 in July highlights a notable shift. This reduction aligns with seasonal patterns typical of August, a peak holiday period when increased tourism and temporary absences may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 121 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure rate is consistent with a small built-up area’s characteristics, the sharp drop from July suggests potential factors such as heightened community vigilance during school holidays or reduced foot traffic in public spaces. Population context further clarifies that, despite the 8.2 rate, the absolute number of crimes (47) is relatively low given the area’s 5,708 residents, underscoring the area’s generally low crime profile compared to larger urban centres. This contrast is evident when considering the UK average, where higher population density and more complex social dynamics often drive crime rates upward.
