Quorndon Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon's crime profile in April 2023 reveals a pronounced imbalance between property and violent crime, with property-related offences accounting for 40% of all reported crimes compared to 20% for violent crimes. This disparity suggests a local environment where theft, vandalism, and disorder may be more prevalent than interpersonal violence. The overall crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents places the area 38.7% below the UK average, a gap that reflects both effective policing and the area's character as a relatively low-density built-up zone within Charnwood. Public order offences, which constituted 24% of all crimes, emerged as the most significant category, far exceeding the UK average by 72%. This overrepresentation could be linked to the area's seasonal dynamics in April, when Easter-related events and the transition to spring weather may increase foot traffic and social interactions in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average by 65%, still accounted for 20% of all crimes, highlighting a persistent concern for personal safety. The data illustrates a combination of environmental factors and community dynamics, where the built-up nature of Quorndon may amplify certain types of crime while mitigating others through local initiatives or infrastructure.

April 2023 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with a 61.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences compared to March, reflecting a notable shift in the crime mix towards property-related incidents. Shoplifting and criminal damage both declined by 50% and 40% respectively, potentially linked to the Easter holiday period reducing retail foot traffic and outdoor activities. However, three categories—bicycle theft, robbery, and other unspecified crimes—experienced 100% increases from zero to one reported incident each, suggesting emerging vulnerabilities or unaddressed risks. Public order offences, which remained 72% above the UK average, may be influenced by the area's seasonal character, where increased social gatherings during April could contribute to disorder. Robbery, in particular, stood out as 344% above the UK average, a figure that could signal a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas. These shifts underscore the importance of monitoring transient factors like seasonal events and their potential impact on local crime patterns.

Quorndon's crime rate in April 2023 fell to 4.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 39.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 7.6 per 1,000. This reduction, while significant, must be contextualised within the area's population of 5,412, where the daily crime count averaged just one incident per day. Over the course of the month, this translated to one reported crime for every 216 residents, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the scale of crime in a local context. When compared to the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, Quorndon's rate remains lower, though this advantage is not uniform across all categories. For instance, robbery rates in the area were 344% above the UK average, highlighting specific vulnerabilities that require attention. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that while the overall rate is low, certain crime types—particularly public order and robbery—exceed national benchmarks, suggesting that targeted strategies may be necessary to address these disparities. These figures, when viewed alongside the month-on-month decline, illustrate both the progress made in reducing crime and the areas where further action could yield meaningful improvements.
