Brundall Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Brundall in November 2023 reveals a distinct mix of offences that contrasts with the UK average. With a crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents—26.7% below the UK average of 7.5—Brundall demonstrates a relatively safe environment, though local variations in crime types highlight specific vulnerabilities. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.9% of all reported crimes, the highest proportion, suggesting a focus on interpersonal conflicts or community-specific factors. This may be influenced by local dynamics such as the presence of social hubs or seasonal gatherings, though further analysis would be required to confirm. Shoplifting, at 14.3% of total crimes, was 45% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, potentially tied to the retail activity surrounding Black Friday. The prominence of public order offences—10.7% of total crimes—also exceeds the UK average by 13%, which could reflect the impact of Bonfire Night events or increased foot traffic in public spaces. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour was 62% below the UK average, indicating a lower incidence of disruptive conduct in the area. The relatively low rates of criminal damage and arson (66% below the UK average) may suggest a quieter period for such offences, influenced by seasonal factors. These patterns illustrate how Brundall's crime mix, shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal events, diverges from broader national trends, offering insights into the area's unique security landscape.

November 2023 saw sharp increases in public order offences, which rose by 200% compared to the previous month, moving from one to three incidents. This surge may be linked to Bonfire Night events or heightened community activity during the month. Shoplifting also doubled, with four incidents reported—45% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, decreasing from two to one incident, possibly reflecting a seasonal lull in such crimes. The balance of violent crimes (12 incidents) and property crimes (8 incidents) suggests a shift towards more interpersonal offences compared to other months. Drug-related offences rose by 100% to one incident, a category that was previously unrecorded. These changes underscore the dynamic nature of local crime patterns and the influence of specific seasonal events.

Brundall's crime rate in November 2023 rose by 33.2% compared to the previous month, moving from 4.1 to 5.5 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while notable, still places the area 26.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported every 30 days, translating to a local context of roughly one crime for every 182 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure highlights the relatively low frequency of crime in Brundall compared to broader UK trends. When considering the population of 5,088, the crime rate remains proportionally low, suggesting that residents face a lower risk of encountering crime than the national average. However, the month-on-month increase may reflect seasonal dynamics, such as the impact of Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, which could have temporarily elevated certain crime types.
