Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,708, Carlton in Lindrick reported 34 crimes in May 2024—equivalent to 6.0 crimes per 1,000 residents. This rate is 28.6% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, highlighting a safer environment relative to national trends. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (32.4% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (32.4%) and burglary (8.8%). The seasonal context of May, with its longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, likely contributes to the prominence of violent and anti-social incidents. These patterns align with typical trends in smaller built-up areas where community interactions and local events can influence crime dynamics. The area's lower overall crime rate suggests effective local policing or community engagement strategies, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this. The relatively low burglary rate compared to the UK average may reflect the area's characteristics, such as lower population density or stronger residential security measures. However, the sharp increase in burglary (200% month-on-month) raises questions about potential vulnerabilities that warrant closer examination.

May 2024 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime types. Burglary rose by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents), marking a notable spike that could indicate seasonal factors or targeted activity. Robbery and shoplifting each doubled (from 0 to 1 and 0 to 2 respectively), suggesting possible links to increased foot traffic or specific vulnerabilities during the month. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 75% (from 8 to 2), and other theft dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1), potentially reflecting seasonal lulls or successful local interventions. The crime mix shifted toward anti-social behaviour (32.4% of total crimes), which is 31% above the UK average, indicating a unique local challenge. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences, though still the largest category, were 33% below the UK average, suggesting effective community measures or demographic factors. Residents may find the 28.6% overall reduction from the UK average reassuring, though the burglary increase underscores the need for vigilance in specific areas.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in May 2024 (6.0 per 1,000) represents a 5.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.3 per 1,000, indicating a slight downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day in May, a manageable frequency for a community of 5,708 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 168 residents, translating to a monthly exposure rate that is lower than many urban centres. This context is critical for understanding the scale of risk: in a built-up area within Bassetlaw, the crime rate is well below the UK average, suggesting a combination of effective policing, community cohesion, or geographic factors such as lower population density. However, the 200% increase in burglary compared to April highlights a potential vulnerability that contrasts with the overall trend. For residents, the 1-in-168 monthly exposure figure provides a tangible measure of safety, though it is essential to monitor specific categories like burglary that show sharp fluctuations. The area's performance relative to the UK average underscores the importance of localised crime prevention strategies tailored to its unique characteristics.
