Brough Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 25% of reported crimes in Brough in June 2024, making them the dominant category in the area’s crime profile. This was followed by criminal damage and arson (22.5%) and anti-social behaviour (20%), with the overall crime rate at 2.7 per 1,000 residents—67.1% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. The relatively low crime rate in Brough, a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, aligns with its character as a small, possibly rural or semi-rural community with limited urban density. Seasonal factors may have influenced patterns, as June marks the start of summer, a time when tourism begins in coastal and rural areas. However, a direct link between seasonal activity and the specific rise in criminal damage and arson. The area’s crime profile also shows significant divergence from UK averages: violence and sexual offences are 75% below the national rate, while other crime is 150% above. This suggests a combination of local factors, such as the presence of community spaces that may encourage anti-social behaviour but also lack the high-traffic environments typical of major urban centres. The relatively low property crime rate (30%) compared to violent crime (25%) further reflects the area’s distinct dynamics, with property crimes such as theft and burglary not dominating the monthly report. These trends highlight Brough’s unique position within the UK’s broader crime profile, where low overall rates coexist with specific spikes in certain categories.

June 2024 saw a dramatic surge in criminal damage and arson, rising from one incident to nine—an 800% increase—marking the most significant month-on-month jump. This spike contrasts sharply with a 44.4% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 18 to 10, suggesting a shift in criminal activity priorities. Other crime also rose sharply, increasing by 500% from one to six incidents, though this category is 150% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000). Anti-social behaviour rose by 166.7%, from three to eight cases, aligning with seasonal factors such as the start of summer, which may bring increased public gatherings. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by 51% compared to the UK average, and other theft dropped by 25% from four to three incidents. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, with no single category dominating the monthly report. Residents may find the surge in criminal damage and arson particularly noteworthy, as it represents an unusual spike in a typically low-crime area.

Brough’s crime rate in June 2024 rose by 8.2% from the previous month’s 2.5 per 1,000 to 2.7 per 1,000. While this increase is modest, it reflects a shift in crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the low volume of incidents relative to the local population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 378 residents, underscoring the rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. This monthly exposure figure, when compared to the UK average (which is not provided here), highlights the area’s consistently lower crime levels. The population context—15,115 residents—further illustrates that even small fluctuations in crime rates have minimal impact on individual risk, as the overall burden remains spread across a relatively small community. These statistics suggest that Brough’s crime profile remains distinct from broader UK trends, with local factors likely playing a more significant role than national patterns.
