Galleywood Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Galleywood’s November 2024 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents places it 64.5% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently safer environment than the national norm. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences (7 incidents, 36.8% of total), followed by other theft (3 cases, 15.8%) and anti-social behaviour (2 cases, 10.5%). These figures suggest that interpersonal conflicts and property-related issues remain the primary concerns, though their rates are markedly lower than UK averages. Seasonal factors in November—such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping—may have influenced the mix of crimes, with potential links between public events and increased anti-social behaviour. However, the sharp decline in violence and sexual offences (-56.3%) compared to October could indicate improved policing or community initiatives. The low overall rate, combined with the area’s built-up character within Chelmsford, suggests a balance between residential stability and limited commercial activity, which may contribute to the reduced risk of more severe crimes like burglary or vehicle theft. This pattern is consistent with suburban or semi-rural areas where community cohesion and lower population density moderate crime levels.

November saw a stark shift in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour surging by 100% (from 0 to 2 incidents) and other theft rising by 50% (from 2 to 3). These increases contrast with declines in burglary (-66.7%), violence and sexual offences (-56.3%), and public order offences (-50%). The violence and sexual offences category, which contributed 36.8% of all crimes, remains 61% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that while local spikes occurred, Galleywood’s overall profile remains significantly safer than the national picture. For residents, the 50% increase in other theft highlights the need for vigilance around high-value items, particularly during Black Friday shopping periods.

Galleywood’s crime rate in November 2024 (2.7 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 48.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area’s consistently low crime profile compared to the UK average, which stood at 7.6 per 1,000. Daily crime activity in November averaged roughly one incident per day, a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 374 residents, a metric that provides context for the low frequency of incidents in a community of 7,114 people. This monthly exposure rate highlights how infrequent crime is in Galleywood compared to the national average, where residents face significantly higher risks. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that even with 19 total crimes recorded, the area’s demographics and infrastructure likely contribute to the manageable scale of incidents.
