Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

October 2024 saw Carlton in Lindrick experience a sharp 200% increase in criminal damage and arson compared to September, marking the most dramatic month-on-month shift in the built-up area’s crime profile. The overall crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 residents placed the area 13.6% below the UK average, reflecting a consistently lower-than-average crime environment. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.5%) and shoplifting (15%). These figures align with seasonal patterns, as darker evenings and Halloween-related activity may have influenced property crime trends. While shoplifting rates rose 53% above the UK average, vehicle crime fell 57% below national levels, suggesting local factors such as reduced parking congestion or increased community vigilance. The area’s relatively low crime rate, despite the spike in criminal damage, underscores the impact of targeted interventions or environmental deterrents. The shift in crime types highlights the need for tailored strategies to address vandalism, which surged by 200%, while maintaining efforts to sustain the area’s below-average violent crime rates.

The most striking change in October was a 200% increase in criminal damage and arson, jumping from 2 to 6 incidents. This surge, though still low in absolute terms, contrasts sharply with a 60% drop in burglary (from 5 to 2) and a 75% decrease in vehicle crime (from 4 to 1). The area’s shoplifting rate (1.1 per 1,000) was 53% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (1.2 per 1,000) remained 7% below national levels. Violence and sexual offences, at 2.5 per 1,000, were 6% below the UK rate, suggesting effective policing or community initiatives in managing violent crime. Residents may find the 57% reduction in vehicle crime particularly notable, likely linked to fewer parked vehicles during October’s shorter evenings. The combination of rising property crime and falling vehicle crime illustrates a shift in criminal focus, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as Halloween or changes in local activity patterns.

Carlton in Lindrick’s crime rate rose 2.6% month-on-month from 6.8 to 7.0 per 1,000 residents in October 2024, a modest increase in an area already well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 1 crime per day over the month, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 143 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which typically sees one crime for every 120 residents. The population context further highlights the area’s comparative safety: with 5,708 residents, Carlton in Lindrick’s crime statistics suggest a relatively stable environment despite the sharp rise in criminal damage. The 200% increase in vandalism may be attributed to seasonal factors such as Halloween or the transition to darker evenings, but the overall trend remains one of controlled crime rates. The contrast between rising property crime and falling vehicle crime underscores the need for localized analysis, as national averages may not fully capture the nuances of a built-up area within Bassetlaw.
