Shavington Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Shavington's overall crime rate for July 2024 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a significant 41.7% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This performance places the area well below national benchmarks, reflecting a combination of effective local policing and community initiatives. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.9% of total incidents (12 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (28.6%, 8 cases). These figures contrast with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which sits at 2.9 per 1,000, a 26% gap that Shavington narrows to 2.1 per 1,000. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and tourism—likely contributes to patterns observed, though the area's lower crime rate suggests robust community engagement. Anti-social behaviour, while still a concern, remains 3% below the UK average, indicating consistent management of public order issues. The absence of major property crime incidents, with only 3 recorded, further highlights the area's relatively low exposure to burglary and theft. This data illustrates a community where proactive measures and seasonal awareness have combined to maintain safety, even amid the typical summer influx of visitors and extended public activity.

July 2024 saw a notable 36.8% reduction in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 19 to 12 cases. This decrease aligns with the UK average for the category, which is 2.9 per 1,000, though Shavington's rate of 2.1 per 1,000 remains 26% below. Conversely, vehicle crime surged by 100%, rising from 0 to 1 incident—a small but significant shift that may reflect increased car-related activity during summer months. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 33.3%, with cases increasing from 6 to 8, though this remains 3% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. The crime mix shifted toward public order offences, which rose to 0.7 per 1,000 (14.3% of total), slightly above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This suggests a need for targeted interventions in public spaces during peak summer hours. For residents, the most immediate insight is the sharp decline in violent crime, which could indicate successful local initiatives or natural seasonal factors. However, the rise in vehicle crime—though minimal—warrants attention, particularly as it marks a first-time occurrence in the category for the month.

Shavington's crime rate in July 2024 (4.9 per 1,000) represents a 26.4% decrease compared to June's rate of 6.7 per 1,000. This decline is consistent with the area's overall trend of maintaining safety despite seasonal fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 1 crime per day in July, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance during the summer months. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 202 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. When scaled to the area's population of 5,664, this translates to a relatively low risk profile, with the majority of residents unlikely to encounter crime during the month. The comparison to the previous month also highlights the impact of targeted policing or community efforts, as the reduction in violence and sexual offences—despite the summer season—suggests effective strategies in place. While the rise in vehicle crime is a minor concern, the overall picture remains one of a community where crime prevention measures have yielded tangible results, even in the context of increased foot traffic and outdoor activity typical of July.
