Quorndon Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,412, Quorndon reported 42 crimes in September 2024, translating to a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents — 1.3% above the UK average of 7.7. This figure places the area in line with national trends but with distinct local patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and burglary (11.9%). These figures align with seasonal dynamics typical of a built-up area in Charnwood, where September marks the start of the academic year and the return of students to local universities. The surge in violence and sexual offences may partly reflect increased social activity in the evenings, as younger populations return to the area. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour rates are 45% above the UK average, suggesting heightened tensions in communal spaces or a need for targeted community engagement. The relatively low rates of theft from the person (4.8% of total crimes) and public order offences (2.4%) indicate that Quorndon’s built-up environment may have more controlled public spaces compared to other regions. However, burglary and vehicle crime rates are significantly higher than the UK average, with burglary at 190% above and vehicle crime at 100% above. This could reflect the area’s mix of residential and commercial properties, where vehicle crime might be linked to parking patterns near retail zones or local amenities. The seasonal context of September — with nights drawing in and the start of term — may also contribute to increased anti-social behaviour as social interactions shift from daytime to evening hours. While the overall crime rate is only marginally above the UK average, the specific distribution of crime types suggests a need for targeted interventions in areas with high concentrations of anti-social behaviour and property crimes.

September 2024 saw dramatic fluctuations in crime types, with violence and sexual offences surging by 180% compared to August, jumping from 5 to 14 incidents. This sharp increase likely reflects the return of students and the start of the academic year, which can amplify social interactions and potential conflicts in the evenings. Vehicle crime also rose by 100%, with five incidents reported — a stark contrast to the previous month when none were recorded. This may indicate a seasonal shift in criminal activity, with more vehicles on the road or increased opportunities for theft in car parks near residential areas. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by 66.7%, from three to one, possibly due to improved policing during the busy start of term or a natural decline in incidents as community groups become more active. Anti-social behaviour. of all crimes, remains 45% above the UK average. This discrepancy could be attributed to Quorndon’s built-up character, where high-density living may amplify disturbances in shared spaces. Shoplifting rates were 41% below the UK average, suggesting that retail areas in Quorndon may have effective security measures or a lower incidence of opportunistic theft. For residents, the most striking statistic is the 180% increase in violence and sexual offences — a 14-incident rise that may warrant closer attention from local authorities and community groups. This figure alone highlights the need for targeted support in areas where such crimes are concentrated.

Quorndon’s crime rate in September 2024 (7.8 per 1,000) was 23.6% higher than the previous month’s rate of 6.3, marking a significant upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime every 30 days — a figure that, while low, underscores the impact of even small increases in crime over time. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 129 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while not alarmingly high, may feel more pronounced in a smaller, built-up area where incidents are more visible. This rate is slightly above the UK average, but the disparity is marginal, reflecting Quorndon’s position within a national context where crime rates are generally stable. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the 42 total crimes, the area’s relatively small population means each incident carries a higher local impact compared to larger urban centres. For instance, a burglary in Quorndon affects a proportionally larger share of the community than it would in a city with millions of residents. This localized effect may explain why residents are more likely to notice or be affected by crime, even when the overall rate is only slightly above the UK average. The comparison to the previous month also highlights the volatility of crime in such a small area — a 23.6% increase in just one month can shift the perception of safety significantly for those living there. Residents may need to remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high anti-social behaviour or property crime rates, which are elevated compared to national averages.
