Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

February 2024 saw an 18.3% increase in Carlton in Lindrick’s crime rate compared to the UK average, reaching 8.4 crimes per 1,000 residents. While the overall rate remained elevated, several categories showed notable declines. Shoplifting fell by two-thirds, other thefts and other crimes each dropped by half, reflecting a potential shift in criminal activity patterns. These decreases may be linked to seasonal factors, as February typically sees lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type (29.2% of total), consistent with patterns seen in smaller built-up areas where interpersonal disputes may dominate. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson were both significantly above UK averages, with the latter 233% higher than the national rate. This could indicate pressures in the local community or environmental factors, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. The low overall rate of vehicle crime (0.7 per 1,000) contrasts with the UK average, due to limited car ownership in the area or effective local measures. As a built-up area within Bassetlaw, Carlton in Lindrick’s crime profile balances rural and urban characteristics, with property crimes (21) slightly outnumbering violent crimes (14). The winter month context may have contributed to reduced opportunities for outdoor crimes, though the rise in public order offences and criminal damage suggests other dynamics at play. These trends underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions in specific crime categories.

February 2024 marked a sharp 300% increase in vehicle crime, rising from one reported incident in January to four. This surge may reflect seasonal changes, such as increased vehicle use during colder months or targeted thefts in residential areas. Criminal damage and arson also doubled from five to ten incidents, a 100% increase that could be linked to colder weather conditions or unexplained community tensions. Conversely, shoplifting dropped by two-thirds (66.7%), likely due to reduced foot traffic during February’s low outdoor activity period. Other thefts and other crimes each halved, indicating improved security measures or altered criminal priorities. Anti-social behaviour remained 71% above the UK average, with 10 incidents reported, while criminal damage and arson were 233% above the national rate. These figures highlight areas where local authorities may need to focus resources, such as community engagement initiatives or environmental improvements. Shoplifting’s decline to 2 incidents (0.4 per 1,000) brought it 26% below the UK average, suggesting effective local deterrents or seasonal lulls in retail crime. Residents might find the reduction in shoplifting and other thefts encouraging, though the persistent challenges in anti-social behaviour and property damage require continued attention.

Carlton in Lindrick’s crime rate in February 2024 (8.4 per 1,000) represented an 11.7% increase from January’s 7.5 per 1,000, indicating a month-on-month upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 29-day period, a figure that, while local to Carlton in Lindrick, offers context for residents assessing personal risk. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for every 119 residents, a ratio that, while not directly comparable to UK-wide metrics, provides a tangible measure of local crime density. This rate is higher than the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, but the disparity is most pronounced in categories like anti-social behaviour (71% above UK average) and criminal damage and arson (233% above). These figures suggest that while the area’s overall crime rate is elevated, specific types of crime are affecting Carlton in Lindrick compared to national trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that 5,708 residents share the burden of 48 total crimes, equating to roughly 0.85 crimes per person. This highlights the importance of community-specific interventions, as the area’s challenges in anti-social behaviour and property damage are not merely statistical anomalies but reflect local conditions that may require tailored solutions. The comparison with the UK average underscores the need for targeted strategies to address the areas where Carlton in Lindrick diverges most sharply from national patterns.
