Quorndon Crime Rate December 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon’s December 2024 crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 places it 11.3% below the UK average of 7.1, reflecting a safer environment compared to the national picture. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44.1% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.8%) and shoplifting (8.8%). This distribution aligns with the area’s character as a built-up part of Charnwood, where community interactions and local amenities may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crimes. Seasonal factors in December—such as the Christmas shopping peak, extended dark evenings, and the presence of empty homes during holiday absences—likely influenced these trends. While violence and sexual offences exceeded the UK average by 9%, anti-social behaviour was 26% below the national benchmark, suggesting effective local initiatives or community cohesion. The overall crime rate, though slightly higher than November’s 5.5 per 1,000, remains in line with Quorndon’s historical performance. This data underscores the area’s position as a relatively low-crime locale, with specific categories warranting closer attention. The interplay of seasonal demand for retail services and the area’s demographic profile may explain the rise in shoplifting and violent incidents, while the decline in burglary and other theft could reflect improved security measures or reduced opportunities during the holiday season.

December saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with drugs-related offences doubling from zero to two incidents—a 100% increase. Robbery also rose sharply, with one reported case, marking a 100% jump from November. Shoplifting increased by 50%, from two to three incidents, possibly linked to holiday shopping activity. Conversely, burglary dropped by 66.7%, from three to one case, and other theft fell by 75%, from four to one. These fluctuations suggest seasonal influences, with retail-focused crimes rising and property crimes declining. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, at 44.1% of total crimes, 9% above the UK average. This contrast with categories like anti-social behaviour, which were 26% below the UK average, highlights the area’s unique crime profile. For residents, the drug-related increase may signal a need for heightened awareness during festive periods.

Quorndon’s crime rate in December 2024 rose 13.4% from November’s 5.5 per 1,000 to 6.3 per 1,000.3% below the UK average. This shift suggests a temporary uptick in local activity, possibly linked to seasonal factors. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in December, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 159 residents. This ratio places Quorndon in a safer bracket compared to many UK areas, though the increase from November warrants attention. The population-scaled perspective shows that, despite the rise, the area’s crime levels are still relatively low. For context, a resident in Quorndon faces a 1-in-159 chance of experiencing a crime over the course of a month—a statistic that highlights the area’s overall safety profile, even as local fluctuations occur.
