Quorndon Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon's crime profile in June 2024 continued to demonstrate a trend of reduced overall criminal activity, with the area's crime rate at 6.1 per 1,000 residents—25.6% below the UK average. This performance, while influenced by seasonal factors, reflects a broader pattern of lower violent crime and improved community safety. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 36.4% of all incidents, yet remained 20% below the UK average. This discrepancy may be attributed to Quorndon's built-up character, where local initiatives or policing strategies could contribute to lower violent crime rates. The second most prevalent category, shoplifting, rose sharply by 300% compared to May, likely linked to the start of summer and increased retail activity in the area. Burglary and other theft also showed increases, though these remain high compared to national averages, suggesting specific vulnerabilities in property crime prevention. Seasonal context plays a key role, with longer daylight hours affecting crime patterns—while outdoor crimes may decrease, retail-focused offences could rise due to increased foot traffic. The area's relatively low overall crime rate, despite these spikes in property-related incidents, indicates a generally secure environment, though targeted interventions may be needed to address rising shoplifting and burglary rates. The balance between violent and property crime highlights the need for tailored approaches, combining community engagement with focused policing in high-risk areas.

June 2024 saw a marked decline in violent crime, with violence and sexual offences dropping by 29.4% to 12 incidents. This reduction, from 17 in May, positions Quorndon 20% below the UK average for this category, suggesting effective local measures or seasonal factors. Meanwhile, shoplifting surged by 300% to four incidents, a stark increase from one in May. This spike aligns with the start of summer, when tourism and retail activity typically rise in built-up areas. Burglary also rose by 33.3% to four cases, though this remains 133% above the UK average, indicating persistent vulnerabilities in property crime prevention. Conversely, public order offences fell sharply by 66.7%, from three to one, a decline consistent with the area's generally low crime profile. The mix of crime types reveals a combination of seasonal trends and local conditions, with retail-focused crimes rising amid increased foot traffic.

Quorndon's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 6.1 per 1,000 residents, a 5.7% drop from the previous month's 6.5. This decline aligns with the broader trend of reduced violent crime, which fell by 29.4% to 12 incidents. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate compared to the UK average. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for every 164 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's safety profile. When scaled to the population, this translates to a 25.6% deficit compared to the UK average, suggesting systemic differences in local crime prevention or community dynamics. The daily crime count, while seemingly frequent in absolute terms, remains low in the context of Quorndon's built-up area status, where population density may concentrate resources for crime reduction. This contrast between local and national metrics highlights the importance of tailoring crime analysis to specific geographic and demographic contexts.
