Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 saw an unexpected surge in criminal damage and arson in Carlton in Lindrick, a built-up area within Bassetlaw, with reported incidents rising 600% from two to 14 cases. This spike, which far outpaces the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000 residents, marks the most significant single-month shift in the area’s crime profile. The overall crime rate for the month was 9.8 per 1,000 residents — 19.5% above the UK average of 8.2 — reflecting a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics. Anti-social behaviour remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 32.1% of all crimes, with 18 incidents reported, 129% above the UK average. This is consistent with the area’s character as a small, densely populated community where social tensions may escalate during the summer months. The season, marked by longer daylight hours and the beginning of the tourist season in nearby rural areas, may have indirectly influenced patterns, though the exact drivers of the criminal damage spike remain unclear. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average, decreased slightly by 9.1% compared to the previous month, suggesting some level of stability in violent crime trends. The data highlights a stark contrast between property crimes, which dominate the local profile, and violent crime, which remains relatively low compared to national benchmarks. This divergence may reflect the area’s limited nightlife and retail presence, which typically correlate with higher rates of violent offences. The seasonal context of June — a time when festivals and events might draw transient populations — could have contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour, though no direct causal link is confirmed by the data.

The most striking change in June 2024 was the 600% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from two to 14 incidents. This surge, which is 310% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000 residents, represents the largest single-month shift in the area’s crime history. Other theft also saw a dramatic rise, with cases jumping 300% from one to four — a figure 21% above the UK average. Vehicle crime, however, showed a contrasting trend, doubling from zero to two incidents, placing it 11% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This divergence between property crimes and vehicle crime may reflect local factors, such as the area’s limited parking infrastructure or the absence of high-traffic commercial zones typically associated with vehicle-related offences. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by two-thirds, from three to one, aligning with a UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This decline could be linked to seasonal changes, as the start of summer often sees a shift in community activity patterns. The data also reveals that anti-social behaviour remains the most significant concern, with 18 incidents — 129% above the UK average — underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Residents might find the 3.2 per 1,000 rate for anti-social behaviour particularly relevant, as it directly impacts daily life in shared spaces like local parks and community centres.

June 2024 marked a 64.6% increase in Carlton in Lindrick’s crime rate compared to May 2024, rising from 6.0 to 9.8 per 1,000 residents. This sharp upward trend places the area’s monthly exposure at 1-in-102 residents, meaning that over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 102 people. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of two crimes per day — a figure that, while modest, reflects the concentration of incidents in a relatively small population of 5,708. When compared to the UK average, the area’s crime rate remains 19.5% higher, a gap that widened significantly in June. The previous month’s rate of 6.0 per 1,000 was already above the UK average, but the surge in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage has pushed the gap further. This contrast is particularly evident in categories like public order offences, which fell to 1.8% of total crimes — 67% below the UK average — suggesting that some local factors may be mitigating certain types of crime. The population-scaled perspective highlights the relative impact of the crime rate: with only 5,708 residents, even small increases in reported incidents can have a noticeable effect on community safety perceptions. This underscores the importance of localized policing strategies and community engagement in addressing the specific challenges facing Carlton in Lindrick.
