Quorndon Crime Rate August 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In Quorndon, the per-capita risk of encountering crime in August 2023 was 4.8 incidents per 1,000 residents, placing the area 40.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime per day for the built-up area, a figure that suggests the local population faces significantly lower exposure to crime compared to the national average. The most common crimes in August were violence and sexual offences (26.9% of total incidents), followed by other theft (19.2%) and public order offences (19.2%). These patterns align with Quorndon's character as a relatively low-density built-up area within Charnwood, where public spaces and community interactions may contribute to the prevalence of violent and disorderly incidents. Seasonal factors also appear to influence the crime profile, as August—a peak holiday month—typically sees fluctuations in both tourism-related and domestic crime patterns. While the area's overall safety remains evident, the rise in drug-related offences and anti-social behaviour compared to the UK average highlights areas for further local scrutiny. The decrease in shoplifting, meanwhile, may reflect reduced retail activity during the summer holidays, though this trend contrasts with the increased prevalence of public order offences, which could be linked to heightened social interactions in public spaces during the month.

August 2023 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with drugs-related offences tripling from zero to three incidents—a 100% increase. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson also rose by 100%, marking a sharp departure from previous trends. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 88.9% as reported incidents dropped from nine to one, possibly reflecting seasonal shifts in retail activity or holiday-related changes in foot traffic. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 36.4%, from 11 to seven, though this remains 51% below the UK average for the category. The area's drug-related crime rate of 0.6 per 1,000 is 173% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000, a stark contrast to its performance in anti-social behaviour, which is 58% below the UK average. These divergent trends suggest localized factors influencing specific crime types, with no clear overarching pattern in the month's overall crime mix.

Quorndon's August 2023 crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents represents a 21.3% decrease from the previous month's 6.1 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as safer compared to its recent performance. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in August, a figure that translates to a manageable frequency for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 208 residents—a monthly exposure rate that suggests the likelihood of encountering crime is relatively low compared to the UK average. With a population of 5,412, the 26 reported crimes in August mean that each resident faced a 0.48% chance of being directly affected by crime during the month. This population-scaled perspective highlights the area's continued safety, even as specific crime types like drugs and anti-social behaviour saw sharp increases, suggesting localized pressures that warrant closer monitoring.
