This is not real historical data for specific times in Eastwood, but a model-generated estimate based on the area's crime composition and national timing patterns.

Understanding Crime by Time of Day

Eastwood's crime patterns exhibit clear variations throughout the day. Morning hours (6am-12pm) show notable vehicle crime and theft, suggesting opportunistic activity as residents leave their properties. The afternoon period (12pm-6pm) experiences a peak in theft and burglary, likely correlating with increased activity in commercial and residential areas when properties might be unattended. As the evening progresses (6pm-12am), vehicle crime remains high, alongside burglary, indicating continued vulnerability. However, the most striking pattern emerges overnight (12am-6am), which is dominated by a very high incidence of vehicle crime and burglary. This suggests that criminals frequently target parked vehicles and homes under the cover of darkness. Understanding these hourly and daily rhythms is crucial for residents to implement targeted security measures.

Protecting Your Property in Eastwood

Given Eastwood's property crime rate of 41.8 per 1,000 people, which is higher than the national average, robust home security is paramount. Traditional security systems often only provide footage after an incident, rather than preventing it. For genuine peace of mind, consider proactive, AI-powered home security solutions like scOS. These systems are engineered to detect threats at your property boundary, acting before a break-in occurs. scOS offers multi-camera intelligence, vigilantly monitoring all areas simultaneously, and can even verify vehicles through DVLA data to identify suspicious activity instantly. Its pattern learning capabilities differentiate between routine activity and real threats, minimising false alarms. With most burglars making their decision within 60 seconds, the immediate and visible deterrence of scOS – through activating lights and engaging speakers – can destroy the element of surprise and make them move on. For residents seeking to actively prevent crime, professional proactive security offers a powerful alternative to systems that merely record the aftermath.
