Quorndon Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2024, Quorndon's crime rate stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 46.8% below the UK average of 7.7. This marked a continuation of the area's generally low crime profile, which contrasts with the national trend. Property-related crimes accounted for 54.5% of all reported incidents (12 cases), with shoplifting, criminal damage, and other theft making up the majority. Violent crimes, though fewer in number (7 cases), still represented 31.8% of the total, highlighting a persistent but less dominant threat compared to property offences. The seasonal context of April—characterised by Easter activities and milder spring weather—may have influenced patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to higher visibility of certain crimes, such as public order offences. However, the overall balance between property and violent crime suggests a community where residential and commercial spaces may be more frequently targeted than public areas. The relatively low rate of violent crime, 49% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, could indicate a combination of effective local policing, community cohesion, or a demographic profile with fewer high-risk interactions. This contrast with the UK average underscores Quorndon's unique position within the broader crime profile, where property-focused crime prevention strategies may play a more significant role than those targeting violent incidents.

April 2024 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with a 50% decrease in violence and sexual offences compared to March, reducing the number of such incidents from 14 to 7. This decline may be linked to the Easter holiday period, which typically sees reduced social interactions and fewer late-night activities in the area. Conversely, 'Other crime' rose by 100%, with one incident reported in April compared to none in March, suggesting the emergence of new or previously unreported categories. The property crime category remained more prevalent than violent crime, with a 12-7 split, a balance that has likely been consistent over recent months. Quorndon's violent crime rate (1.3 per 1,000) is 49% below the UK average for this category, while criminal damage and arson (0.7 per 1,000) is 19% above the national rate, indicating a potential focus on property-related disputes or vandalism in the area. For residents, the 50% reduction in violent crimes offers a tangible benefit, though the increase in 'Other crime' may warrant further local investigation into its nature and causes.

Quorndon's crime rate in April 2024 (4.1 per 1,000) marked a 40.5% decline from the previous month's rate of 6.8, a significant drop that may reflect seasonal factors or improved policing efforts. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a rate that, while low, remains a reminder of the need for vigilance. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 246 residents, translating to a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to national averages. With a population of 5,412, this statistic highlights the relatively safe environment Quorndon offers, though it is important to contextualise these figures within the broader UK framework. The previous month's rate was higher, suggesting that April's figures may represent a return to a more stable baseline. For local residents, this means that the likelihood of encountering crime is minimal, though the 100% increase in 'Other crime' underscores the importance of remaining aware of less common but emerging threats. The combination of low overall rates and targeted reductions in violent crime reinforces Quorndon's position as a comparatively safe area, even as it navigates the challenges of evolving crime types.
