Hollywood Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Hollywood's crime rate in June 2023 was 2.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 65.9% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This stark divergence highlights the area's exceptionally low crime profile, which contrasts sharply with national trends. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 47.1% of all incidents (8 out of 17), followed by other theft (11.8%) and anti-social behaviour (11.8%). Despite violence being the dominant category, its rate of 1.3 per 1,000 remains 55% below the UK average for the same type of crime. This anomaly may reflect the area's built-up character within Bromsgrove, where community-focused policing and local initiatives could contribute to the reduced incidence of violent crime. Seasonally, June marks the beginning of summer, a time when tourism typically rises in coastal areas. However, Hollywood's inland location and lower population density may limit the influence of seasonal factors on crime patterns. The low rate of property crimes—7 in total—suggests that environmental safeguards, such as well-lit public spaces and community engagement, may be effective in deterring theft. While direct causal links, the combination of low population density, targeted policing, and local initiatives likely plays a role in maintaining the area's safety. This profile positions Hollywood as one of the safest built-up areas in the UK, with crime rates that are consistently lower than national benchmarks.

June 2023 saw a 50.0% reduction in shoplifting, anti-social behaviour, and burglary compared to May, with each of these categories halving in reported incidents. This decline aligns with a broader trend in property crimes, which now account for 41.2% of the total (7 out of 17), compared to 47.1% for violent crimes. Violence and sexual offences—though the most common category—remain 55% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, indicating a consistent gap between local and national patterns. The area's violent crime rate of 1.3 per 1,000 is particularly striking, as it is significantly lower than the UK's 2.9 per 1,000. This contrast suggests that factors such as community policing or local initiatives may be playing a role in mitigating violence. For residents, the drop in anti-social behaviour—now at 0.3 per 1,000—offers a tangible example of how targeted interventions can yield measurable results.

Hollywood's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a 50.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This sharp decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 351 residents. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents relative to the population of 5,970. When contextualised against the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, Hollywood's current rate is 65.9% below the national benchmark, a gap that reflects sustained efforts in community policing and local engagement. The low crime density, combined with the area's built-up character, suggests that environmental factors—such as lighting, public spaces, and community cohesion—may contribute to the reduced incidence of crime. For residents, this means that the likelihood of encountering crime remains exceptionally low compared to other parts of the country.
