Brough Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brough's crime rate in September 2024 was 3.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 53.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This significant disparity highlights the area's generally low crime profile compared to national trends. The breakdown of reported crimes reveals a dominance of violent offences, which accounted for 54.6% of the total 55 incidents recorded. This includes 30 cases of violence and sexual offences, a figure that, while representing a 100% increase from August, remains 24% below the UK average for the category. Other theft and criminal damage followed closely, contributing 14.6% and 10.9% respectively. These patterns may be influenced by the area's character as a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, where the presence of local amenities and community policing could contribute to lower property crime rates. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role, with September's back-to-school period likely affecting crime dynamics. The sharp rise in violence and sexual offences, however, suggests a need for targeted interventions during this time of year. While the overall crime rate remains well below national averages, the increase in violent offences underscores the importance of maintaining robust community safety measures, particularly as the area transitions into the autumn months. The relatively low levels of anti-social behaviour and shoplifting, both significantly below UK averages, further indicate that Brough's residents may benefit from a combination of effective local policing and a strong sense of community cohesion.

September 2024 saw a notable reduction in several crime categories compared to August, with public order offences dropping by 88.9% (from 9 to 1) and vehicle crime decreasing by 83.3% (from 6 to 1). These declines may be linked to the transition into autumn, with shorter evenings potentially reducing opportunities for public disorder. Conversely, violence and sexual offences surged by 100% (from 15 to 30), a sharp increase that challenges the overall downward trend. This spike, however, remains below the UK average for the category (2.6 per 1,000). Other crime and theft from the person also rose sharply, both doubling from zero to one incident. This suggests a possible shift in criminal activity patterns during the back-to-school period, though the limited data points make it difficult to confirm causation. Anti-social behaviour remained far below the UK average, with a 74% deficit, indicating that local policing efforts may be effectively addressing such issues.

Brough's crime rate in September 2024 stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 3.4% decrease from the previous month's 3.8 per 1,000. This slight decline, though modest, aligns with a broader trend observed in the area's seasonal patterns. On a daily basis, the town reported approximately two crimes per day in September, a figure that, while low, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 275 residents over the course of the month. This statistic, when contextualised against the local population of 15,115, suggests that the majority of residents remain unaffected by crime, though the small number of incidents still warrants attention. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while crime is not a daily concern for most, the impact of reported incidents is concentrated among a minority of individuals. This data reinforces the importance of continued community engagement and local policing efforts to maintain the current low crime environment.
