While violent offences remain the most common category, their rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 73% below the UK average for this category. Seasonal factors may partly explain patterns: Bonfire Night events in late November could have influenced public order incidents. of total crimes. The sharp decline in violence and sexual offences — down 60% from October — aligns with the end of the academic term, which may reduce tensions in the local community. Brough's low crime rate is consistent with its character as a smaller built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, where community cohesion and lower population density likely contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. The absence of major retail hubs or nightlife districts may also explain the limited shoplifting and vehicle crime rates, which are 82% and 80% below UK averages respectively.

November saw significant shifts in crime patterns compared to October, with burglary cases surging by 150% (from 2 to 5 incidents). This increase.3 per 1,000, may reflect seasonal factors such as increased home occupancy during the holiday period. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 60%, from 25 to 10 cases — a drop that could be linked to the conclusion of the academic term, which often sees spikes in conflict. Other theft also declined sharply by 62.5% (from 8 to 3 cases), due to reduced Black Friday shopping activity in the area. Brough's rate for 'other crime' (0.2 per 1,000) is 54% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, though this category's ambiguity makes interpretation cautious. The most striking contrast to national trends remains the area's exceptionally low violent crime rate — 73% below the UK average — which suggests strong community policing or demographic factors that reduce interpersonal conflict. Residents may find the 1-in-504 monthly risk of experiencing a crime (based on population) particularly reassuring, especially when compared to the UK's 1-in-133 average.

Brough's crime rate in November 2023 was 3.2 per 1,000 in October, marking a 37.7% decrease — a drop that translates to one fewer crime for every 25 residents in the area. On a daily basis, the local figure of 1 crime per day (30 total over 30 days) is lower than the UK's average of 2.2 daily crimes per 1,000 residents. When scaled to population, the monthly exposure of 1 crime for every 504 residents in Brough contrasts sharply with the UK's 1-in-133 ratio. This disparity reflects both the area's smaller size and its distinct social fabric: as a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, Brough likely benefits from stronger local networks that deter crime. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) — 80% below the UK average — may be partly explained by limited commuter traffic or effective parking management. While the 54% above-average rate for 'other crime' raises questions, its small absolute value (3 cases) suggests it may represent minor, non-recurring incidents. For residents, the most tangible metric is the 73.3% gap from the UK average, which means living in Brough offers a significantly lower baseline risk than the national norm, particularly for violent and property crimes.
