Esh Winning Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Esh Winning’s crime profile in November 2024, accounting for 38.9% of all reported incidents — the highest share of any category. This focus on violent crime, which stands at 2.7 per 1,000 residents, is 5% above the UK average, highlighting a localised challenge that contrasts with the area’s overall crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000, which is 7.9% below the UK average of 7.6. The dominance of violent crime in Esh Winning may partly reflect the area’s built-up nature and the seasonal context of November, when darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night can heighten tensions in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.6 per 1,000 residents, was 44% above the UK average, suggesting a broader pattern of disruptive activity. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson — at 1.2 per 1,000 — was 111% above the UK average, a figure that may indicate underlying issues with property-related crime in the area. These patterns, while distinct from the national average, underscore the need for targeted policing and community engagement strategies tailored to Esh Winning’s specific context.

November 2024 saw dramatic shifts in crime patterns in Esh Winning, with public order offences leaping by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents) and violence and sexual offences rising by 133.3% (from 6 to 14). These spikes suggest a significant change in local dynamics. The area’s rate for violence and sexual offences (2.7 per 1,000) is 5% above the UK average, a stark contrast to vehicle crime, which was 55% below the national rate. Anti-social behaviour also surged, with 8 incidents reported — 44% above the UK average. The increase in public order offences aligns with the seasonal context of November, including dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, which may contribute to heightened tensions in public spaces.

Esh Winning’s crime rate in November 2024 rose sharply from 4.3 to 7.0 per 1,000 residents, a 63.8% increase over the previous month. This jump raises questions about what may have shifted locally, though no definitive cause is evident from the data alone. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day in November — a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,138 residents. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 143 residents experienced a reported crime, a monthly aggregate that contextualises the scale of incidents in a localised, humanised way. This rate, though modest, highlights the importance of community awareness and local policing efforts, particularly given the notable rise in violent crime. The population-scaled perspective also underscores that even a single incident can have a visible impact in a tightly knit built-up area like Esh Winning.
