Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Carlton in Lindrick's crime profile in November 2024, accounting for 25% of all reported incidents (11 cases). This category, while 26% below the UK average rate of 2.6 per 1,000, remains the most significant driver of crime in the built-up area. The overall crime rate of 7.7 per 1,000 residents places the area 1.3% above the UK average, a slight deviation that may be influenced by seasonal factors. November's unique context—Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended dark evenings—likely contributes to the rise in shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. The 10 incidents of shoplifting, which is 161% above the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000, suggest heightened retail activity during the month. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (10 cases) is 62% above the UK average, potentially linked to the area's compact built-up nature and the social dynamics of its small population. The seasonal shift from autumn to winter may have also played a role, with darker evenings increasing opportunities for anti-social acts. However, the area's overall crime rate remains relatively low compared to larger urban centres, illustrating a balance between local factors and broader national trends.

November 2024 marked a significant shift in Carlton in Lindrick's crime mix, with shoplifting surging by 66.7% to 10 incidents, the highest category for the month. This increase, which is 161% above the UK average for shoplifting, may partly explain the overall 10% rise in the area's crime rate compared to October. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 21.4%, dropping from 14 to 11 cases, a decline that contrasts with the UK average rate of 2.6 per 1,000 (26% below the national figure). Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, with a 62% increase over the UK average. The drugs category saw a 100% jump from zero to one incident, highlighting an unusual spike in this category. These fluctuations suggest a combination of local and seasonal factors, including the impact of Black Friday shopping on retail crime and the potential influence of Bonfire Night on public order offences.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in November 2024 rose 10.0% from the previous month, climbing to 7.7 per 1,000 residents. This places the area 1.3% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. While the overall rate is marginally higher than the national benchmark, the daily crime context reveals a manageable figure: one reported crime occurs roughly every 30 days in the built-up area. Over the course of the month, this translates to one crime for every 130 residents, a metric that reflects the area's relatively small population. The population-scaled perspective shows that the rate remains low compared to larger urban centres. Despite the 10% increase, the daily crime count remains stable, suggesting no sudden surge in activity. The contrast with UK averages is most striking in categories like shoplifting, which is 161% above the national rate, though this is balanced by lower-than-average rates for vehicle crime and drugs offences.
