Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in February 2025 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 40.3% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This figure marks a significant improvement over previous months and underscores the area's consistently lower crime profile compared to national benchmarks. The most prevalent crime types were property-related offences, which accounted for 60.9% of all reported incidents, followed by violent crimes at 26.1%. Criminal damage and arson emerged as the most frequent single category, contributing 30.4% of all crimes, a rate that is 150% above the UK average for this category. This contrast with the 53% below UK average for violence and sexual offences illustrates a distinct pattern in the area's crime profile, where property damage remains a focal point while violent crime remains relatively subdued. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—may contribute to the observed trends, as lower foot traffic in public spaces and reduced commercial activity can temper certain types of crime. However, the higher-than-average rate of criminal damage suggests that local factors, such as the presence of vacant properties or specific community dynamics, could be influencing this particular category. The overall crime rate's sustained position below the UK average reinforces the area's status as a relatively low-risk environment, though targeted interventions may still be warranted for categories like criminal damage and arson, which remain high relative to national data.

February 2025 saw a 50% drop in shoplifting incidents, with the category falling from eight to four reports—a shift that may reflect seasonal retail patterns or increased security measures during the pre-spring lull. Anti-social behaviour plummeted by 85.7%, a steep decline from seven to one incident, suggesting a potential alignment with community initiatives or changes in local event calendars. The rate of criminal damage and arson in the area stood at 1.2 per 1,000, 150% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 53% below UK average for violence and sexual offences. This disparity highlights the uneven distribution of crime types, with property-related offences maintaining a higher proportion of total crimes than violent incidents. Residents may find the 50% reduction in shoplifting particularly reassuring, as it indicates a measurable improvement in local retail security practices during a traditionally slower season.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in February 2025 fell to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 37.8% decrease from the previous month's 6.5 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with typical seasonal patterns observed in similar built-up areas during winter, when outdoor activity declines and community engagement in local initiatives may temporarily suppress crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 28-day month, a figure that appears consistent with historical trends for this time of year. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate means that one crime occurred for every 248 residents—a statistic that contextualises the low overall rate within the area's demographic profile. This figure is particularly notable when compared to UK averages, as Carlton in Lindrick's population-scaled crime rate remains significantly below the national benchmark, even after accounting for the area's relatively small population size.
