Frodsham Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Frodsham during November 2024 reveals a distinct profile shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal influences. Violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, dominate the landscape, accounting for 35.4% of all reported incidents. This is followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which together make up nearly 31% of the total. The prominence of violent crime may be consistent with Frodsham's status as a built-up area within a larger district, where population density and social interactions could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal offences. However, the area's overall crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 remains 7.9% below the UK average, indicating a generally safer environment compared to the national context. Seasonal factors such as the darkening evenings of November and the timing of events like Bonfire Night may have influenced the rise in public order offences, which surged by 300% compared to the previous month. This spike, combined with the relatively stable rates of property crimes, suggests a combination of environmental conditions and local crime patterns. The UK comparison further highlights that while Frodsham's violent crime rate is slightly below average, its anti-social behaviour and public order offences are higher, reflecting potential challenges in community policing and public safety management during the late autumn months.

November 2024 saw a dramatic 300% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 8 incidents, which may partly explain the overall rise in the area's crime rate. This surge, coupled with a 150% increase in other theft and a 100% rise in shoplifting, indicates a shift in criminal activity patterns. Violence and sexual offences, which account for 35.4% of all crimes, remain 3% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting a relatively lower prevalence of violent crime compared to national trends. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences are significantly above UK averages, with anti-social behaviour 17% higher than the national figure. These disparities highlight the need for targeted interventions in areas where public order issues are most pronounced. For residents, the 100% increase in shoplifting during Black Friday shopping may serve as a practical reminder to remain vigilant in retail zones during high-traffic periods.

Frodsham's crime rate in November 2024 rose to 7.0 per 1,000, marking a 27.3% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.5. This upward trend suggests a shift in local dynamics, potentially influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter daylight hours and the timing of events like Bonfire Night. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the importance of vigilance in public spaces. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when contextualised against the population of 9,293, highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents per individual. This perspective is crucial for residents assessing personal safety, as it provides a tangible measure of risk in comparison to the broader UK context. The population-scaled data also reveals that Frodsham's crime rate remains below the UK average, reinforcing the area's position as a relatively safer built-up area within Cheshire West and Chester.
