Carbis Bay Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carbis Bay's crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents in February 2025 places it 40.3% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, a striking divergence from national trends. This figure, though modest in absolute terms, reflects a unique local profile shaped by the area's seasonal and demographic characteristics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45.5% of all reported crimes, the most common category, followed by anti-social behaviour (27.3%) and public order offences (13.6%). The low crime rate may partly explain the relative absence of property crimes, with only two recorded in the month—well below the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000. Seasonal context further illuminates these patterns: February, as a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may contribute to the reduced frequency of certain crimes, though the sharp rise in public order offences suggests other local dynamics at play. The area's coastal and tourist-oriented character, combined with its built-up nature, likely influences the types of incidents that occur, with violence and anti-social behaviour affecting the crime mix. While the overall rate remains stable compared to the previous month, the specific distribution of offences highlights the need for targeted analysis of local community interactions and environmental factors that may drive these patterns.

February 2025 saw a 200% increase in public order offences, rising from one to three incidents, a significant shift in the crime mix. This jump contrasts with a 50% decline in criminal damage and arson, which fell from two to one incident. Possession of weapons also surged by 100%, marking the first recorded instance of this offence in the month. While violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category (45.5% of total crimes), they are 23% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, at 27.3% of total crimes, is 13% above the UK average, suggesting local factors may be influencing this specific type of incident. The absence of property crimes—only two recorded—contrasts sharply with the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000, highlighting a distinct imbalance in the local crime profile.

Carbis Bay's crime rate remained stable at 4.0 per 1,000 residents in February 2025, matching the same figure recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 28-day period, reflecting a low-frequency but persistent level of criminal activity. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure equates to one reported crime for roughly every 247 residents—a figure that underscores the relatively low risk environment compared to national averages. The population context further highlights that, despite the small number of recorded crimes, the proportion of violent offences (45.5% of total crimes) remains higher than the UK average for this category, which may partly explain the area's distinct crime profile. While the daily crime count is low, the specific nature of incidents—particularly the sharp rise in public order offences—warrants attention to local community dynamics.
