Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile for Carlton in Lindrick in September 2024 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for over a third of all reported crimes. At 6.8 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area's overall crime rate is 11.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a consistent trend that reflects the built-up area's relatively low exposure to high-risk environments typically associated with major urban centres. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime mix, representing 33.3% of all recorded crimes, which may partly explain the area's lower-than-average violent crime rate compared to the UK (12% below the national average for this category). This suggests a focus on targeted incidents rather than widespread disorder. Property crimes, including burglary and vehicle crime, make up 23.1% of total offences, a proportion that aligns with the area's rural character and limited commercial activity outside the built-up core. Seasonal factors in September—back-to-school transitions, university freshers arriving in nearby towns, and the gradual shift to shorter evenings—may contribute to increased incidents of public order offences and violence, though these remain below the UK average for their respective categories. The absence of significant spikes in theft from the person or anti-social behaviour further underscores the area's stability compared to more densely populated regions.

September 2024 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with burglary increasing by 150% (from 2 to 5 incidents) and public order offences doubling (from 0 to 4). These shifts may reflect the seasonal influx of university students in nearby areas, though local anti-social behaviour incidents fell sharply by 75% (from 16 to 4), suggesting a temporary reduction in community tensions. The burglary rate in Carlton in Lindrick (0.9 per 1,000) is 190% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), a stark contrast to the area's generally lower crime profile. This anomaly may be attributed to the limited number of residential properties in the built-up area, where a small number of incidents can affect statistics. Vehicle crime also rose 56% above the UK average, linked to the area's proximity to major roads and the presence of parked vehicles in residential zones. Conversely, anti-social behaviour incidents fell 40% below the UK average, aligning with the area's character as a relatively quiet built-up area with minimal nightlife activity. Residents may find the 100% increase in public order offences (now at 4 incidents) particularly noteworthy, as this category often includes disturbances that could affect local community events or public spaces.

The crime rate in Carlton in Lindrick for September 2024 (6.8 per 1,000 residents) represents a 17.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.2 per 1,000, indicating a sustained downward trend over recent months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day in September, a figure that appears stable compared to prior months. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 146 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average when scaled to local population size. With a population of 5,708, the area's crime statistics suggest a low baseline of criminal activity relative to its demographic profile, though the sharp increase in burglary and public order offences highlights occasional spikes that warrant attention. The built-up nature of Carlton in Lindrick, combined with its location within the rural Bassetlaw district, likely influences these patterns, as the area lacks the high-density commercial and residential hubs that typically correlate with higher crime rates. This contrast with the UK average is particularly evident in categories like burglary and vehicle crime, where local rates remain elevated despite the area's overall lower crime profile. Residents may find reassurance in the 75% reduction in anti-social behaviour incidents, which suggests effective community engagement or seasonal factors reducing conflict in public spaces.
