Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

July 2024 marked a concerning upward trend in Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate, which rose to 10.2 per 1,000—a 21.4% increase above the UK average of 8.4. This shift follows a pattern seen in other built-up areas during peak summer months, when tourism and festivals amplify activity in public spaces. The most prevalent crime type was criminal damage and arson, accounting for 24.1% of total incidents, a figure 297% higher than the UK average. This suggests a specific vulnerability in the area, possibly linked to the presence of historic buildings or limited community engagement in preventing vandalism. Anti-social behaviour (20.7%) and violent crimes (19.0%) followed closely, with the latter showing a 33% deficit compared to the UK average. The seasonal context of July—schools out, festivals, and extended daylight hours—likely contributed to the rise in public order offences, which increased by 300% compared to June. However, the drop in anti-social behaviour and other thefts indicates some localised success in addressing these issues. The crime mix remains heavily skewed toward property-related offences, with property crimes (23) making up 39.7% of the total, compared to 19.0% for violent crimes. This balance may reflect the area's character as a small, rural-influenced built-up area where property targets are more accessible. The 3.6% monthly increase from June underscores the need for ongoing vigilance, particularly as tourism peaks in the coming weeks.

July 2024 saw a 300% increase in public order offences, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This sharp jump, combined with a 150% rise in vehicle crime (from 2 to 5), suggests a shift in criminal activity tied to summer tourism and outdoor events. Criminal damage and arson—accounting for 24.1% of total crimes—remained 297% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 33% below UK average for violent crimes. The 75% drop in other thefts (from 4 to 1) and 33.3% decrease in anti-social behaviour (from 18 to 12) indicate some localised success in addressing specific issues. While property crimes (23) outnumbered violent crimes (11), the overall crime rate's 3.6% increase from June highlights a worrying upward trend. Residents may find the daily crime count—roughly 2 incidents per day—useful for understanding local risks in context of the area's small population.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate rose to 10.2 per 1,000 in July 2024, a 3.6% increase from June's 9.8. This places the area 21.4% above the UK average of 8.4, a gap that has widened slightly compared to prior months. Locally, the monthly crime rate translates to approximately 2 crimes reported each day, a figure that may help residents contextualise the pace of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 98 residents, a monthly exposure rate that reflects the area's small population of 5,708. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the population size means the absolute number of crimes remains relatively low. The shift in crime patterns from June to July appears to be driven by seasonal factors, with public order offences and vehicle crime seeing sharp increases, likely tied to the summer tourism peak and extended outdoor activity. However, the decrease in anti-social behaviour and other thefts suggests some localised efforts may have tempered certain issues.
