Anstey Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Anstey, the crime rate of 7.7 per 1,000 residents in June 2023 translates to a 1-in-130 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. This figure, though slightly higher than May’s 7.2 per 1,000, remains 9.4% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences (22 incidents, 37.3% of all crimes), followed by criminal damage and arson (9 incidents) and public order offences (7 incidents). These patterns align with Anstey’s rural character, where property-related crimes and interpersonal conflicts may be more pronounced than in urban centres. June, the start of summer, likely influenced these dynamics: longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity may have contributed to higher public order incidents, while seasonal tourism could have indirectly affected shoplifting rates (though this category fell sharply this month). The UK comparison highlights Anstey’s relative safety, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour (53% below UK average) and shoplifting (81% below), though vehicle crime (91% above UK average) and criminal damage (87% above) signal areas requiring closer attention. These findings suggest a mixed picture—while the area’s overall crime rate remains low, specific categories warrant targeted community engagement or policing strategies.

June 2023 revealed stark shifts in Anstey’s crime profile. Vehicle crime, the most dramatic change, surged 600% from one to seven incidents, likely reflecting increased summer traffic or unsecured vehicles in residential areas. Other theft and other crime both doubled, though these categories remain below UK averages (other theft: 38% below; other crime: 167% above). Conversely, shoplifting fell 66.7% to one incident, potentially linked to reduced foot traffic or targeted policing efforts. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 28.6%, though this category remains 53% below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category (37.3% of all crimes), dropped 8.3% from 24 to 22 incidents—a slight but notable decline. These fluctuations highlight the area’s vulnerability to seasonal and situational factors, with vehicle crime’s sharp rise serving as a cautionary indicator for residents to secure vehicles during peak summer months.

In June 2023, Anstey’s crime rate rose 7.3% from 7.2 to 7.7 per 1,000 residents, remaining 9.4% below the UK average. This shift, though modest, underscores the area’s fluctuating dynamics. Locally, the average resident faced a 1-in-130 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. With 59 crimes recorded in 30 days, the daily average of two incidents per day aligns with the area’s small population and limited urban density. While the rate increased, Anstey’s crime profile remains distinct: violent crimes (22) and property crimes (21) accounted for 74% of all incidents, contrasting with the UK’s broader distribution. This balance may reflect Anstey’s rural character, where property-focused crimes dominate over more densely populated regions. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that, despite the rise, the area’s overall safety remains relatively strong compared to national benchmarks, with several crime categories (anti-social behaviour, shoplifting) sitting well below UK averages.
