Hedon Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Hedon's June 2023 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents stands at 49.4% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, illustrating a marked departure from national trends. This built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire experiences a crime profile shaped by its relatively small population and limited commercial infrastructure, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 14 incidents (48.3% of total crimes). The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of summer and longer daylight hours—likely contributes to the lower crime rate, as increased visibility and community activity may deter criminal behaviour. Property crimes, though fewer than violent incidents, accounted for 37.9% of all reported offences, with 'other theft' rising sharply to 5 cases. This contrasts with UK averages, where 'other theft' is 8% higher, suggesting local factors such as retail presence or community policing efforts may influence crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour, at 4 incidents, is 59% below the UK average, reflecting the area's quieter character compared to larger urban centres. While violent crime remains the most significant category, its rate of 2.1 per 1,000 is still 28% below the UK average, highlighting a consistent trend of lower violence in this region. The crime mix in Hedon appears to be influenced by its geographical and demographic profile, with limited high-density areas reducing opportunities for certain types of crime.

June 2023 saw a 400% surge in 'other theft' cases, rising from 1 to 5 incidents—a sharp increase that may reflect heightened activity in retail or public spaces during the early summer months. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, dropping from 8 to 4 incidents, a trend consistent with the start of the summer season and longer daylight hours potentially deterring such behaviour. Violent crimes, which made up 48.3% of all incidents, remained 28% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, highlighting a persistent gap between Hedon and national crime profiles. The reduction in shoplifting by 33.3% (from 3 to 2 cases) aligns with seasonal patterns, as warmer weather may have reduced the need for indoor retail activity. These shifts underscore the importance of monitoring specific crime categories to identify emerging trends and allocate resources effectively.

Hedon's June 2023 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents marks a -3.4% decline from the previous month's 4.4 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of lower crime levels. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 1 reported crime per day across the built-up area, translating to a monthly exposure of 1 crime for every 233 residents. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, with 49.4% fewer crimes per 1,000 people. When scaled to the local population of 6,769, the 29 recorded crimes in June equate to a 0.43% incidence rate, suggesting a relatively safe environment compared to national benchmarks. The monthly exposure figure provides context for residents, indicating that over the course of a month, the likelihood of encountering a crime is minimal, though specific areas may experience higher concentrations due to local factors such as foot traffic or community engagement initiatives.
