Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Enderby and Narborough’s crime rate in July 2024 stood at 11.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 34.5% above the UK average of 8.4. This stark deviation from national trends highlights a unique challenge for the area, particularly given the seasonal context of peak summer activity. The top three crime types—violence and sexual offences, other crime, and anti-social behaviour—collectively accounted for over 60% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.2 per 1,000, were 12% above the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by the area’s mix of residential and commercial spaces, where public interactions are frequent. The rise in 'other crime' to 20 cases, compared to just three in June, points to either a surge in unclassified incidents or a temporary spike in activity tied to local events. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.7 per 1,000, was 17% above the UK average, likely exacerbated by the summer months when outdoor gatherings and festivals increase. Meanwhile, shoplifting (1.5 per 1,000) was 121% above the national rate, possibly reflecting the presence of retail hubs or high-traffic areas that attract transient populations. These patterns align with the seasonal dynamics of July, when schools are closed, tourism peaks, and outdoor events draw larger crowds, creating conditions where crime may be more likely to occur. The area’s relatively small population, combined with its built-up nature, suggests that localised factors—such as community events or specific venue usage—play a significant role in shaping its crime profile. While direct causal links, the timing of these incidents with summer activities may contribute to the observed trends.

July 2024 saw dramatic increases in several crime categories, with 'other crime' surging by 566.7% compared to June. This category, which includes a range of non-specific incidents, rose from three to 20 cases, suggesting a possible shift in reporting patterns or a temporary surge in unclassified offences. Theft from the person also doubled, jumping from one to three incidents, a change that may be linked to summer tourism or increased foot traffic during festivals. Meanwhile, burglary rose by 166.7%, from three to eight cases, possibly reflecting the season’s impact on property crime. These increases contrast with declines in criminal damage and arson, which fell by 42.9%, and other theft, which dropped by 37.5%. The area’s violent crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents is 12% above the UK average, while 'other crime' is 900% above the national benchmark. For residents, the spike in 'other crime' may warrant additional vigilance, particularly in areas with high visitor numbers or public events.

Enderby and Narborough’s crime rate in July 2024 rose 14.4% compared to the previous month, reaching 11.3 per 1,000 residents. This increase follows a pattern seen in other areas during peak summer months, when higher foot traffic and outdoor events may heighten opportunities for crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly four crimes per day in July, a figure that, while localised, underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 89 residents, a statistic that reflects the density of incidents within this built-up area. While the population of 11,973 is modest, the concentration of crime—particularly in categories like violence and anti-social behaviour—suggests that community-specific factors, such as local events or seasonal dynamics, may play a role. This monthly exposure figure, though not directly comparable to national averages, provides a clear snapshot of the area’s current risk profile for residents.
