Sileby Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Sileby during June 2024, 8.5 crimes were reported, placing the area 3.7% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly 2 crimes for every 8,468 residents, or a 1-in-118 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences (29.2% of total crimes), followed by public order offences (19.4%) and criminal damage (13.9%). These figures align with patterns often seen in small built-up areas where community interactions and public spaces can influence crime dynamics. Seasonal factors may play a role in the elevated public order offences, as the start of summer typically sees increased foot traffic in local amenities and open spaces. While violence and sexual offences decreased by 34.4% compared to the previous month, this drop is likely tied to the end of term holidays in nearby educational institutions, which may have temporarily reduced local congregation. The area’s crime profile suggests a need for targeted interventions in public order management, particularly during peak summer activity periods. The relatively low rates of theft from the person (41% below UK average) and other theft (31% below UK average) indicate that personal property crime is less prevalent here than in many other UK locations, reflecting a combination of community awareness and effective local policing strategies.

June 2024 saw a notable 100% increase in bicycle theft, with one incident reported after none in May. This rise may reflect the arrival of summer cyclists or changes in local parking patterns. Simultaneously, possession of weapons offences doubled, highlighting a specific concern that warrants further attention from local authorities. The most significant deviation from national trends was public order offences, which were 179% above the UK average. This stark contrast could indicate unique local pressures, such as increased use of public spaces or challenges in managing community interactions during warmer weather. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell sharply by 34.4% compared to May, linked to the summer break reducing local population density in nearby educational hubs. Residents might find the 1-in-118 monthly exposure figure useful for contextualising risk—though this is lower than the UK average of 1-in-125, the elevated public order offences suggest that certain areas may require heightened vigilance. The area’s performance in anti-social behaviour (14% below UK average) and other theft (31% below UK average) demonstrates areas of relative strength, which could inform community safety initiatives.

Sileby’s crime rate in June 2024 (8.5 per 1,000) marked a 2.8% increase from May’s 8.3 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend in local crime statistics. When viewed through a daily lens, this translates to approximately 2 crimes per day across the built-up area, a figure that may seem low but warrants attention given the specific nature of incidents reported. Over the course of the month, 1 crime occurred for roughly every 118 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is marginally higher than the UK average of 1-in-125. The population context reveals that Sileby’s 8,468 residents experience crime at a rate that is broadly in line with national trends, except where specific categories deviate sharply. For instance, public order offences in Sileby were 179% above the UK average, suggesting that local community dynamics or spatial usage patterns may differ significantly from other areas. This contrast is particularly relevant for residents, as it indicates that while overall risk levels are comparable to the UK, certain types of crime may require distinct approaches to prevention and management. The interplay between population density, local amenities, and seasonal activity appears to shape these patterns, reinforcing the need for tailored community engagement strategies.
