North Ferriby's most surprising finding is the extreme disparity in crime types: Other crime occurs at 553% above the UK average (13.1 vs 2.0 per 1,000), a stark contrast to the area's overall safety. While property crime remains 50.1% below the UK average, this is driven by sharp declines in burglary (-66.7% YoY) and vehicle crime (-52% below UK average). The high rate of Other crime may reflect challenges in addressing non-traditional offences, possibly linked to the area's unique social dynamics. Anti-social behaviour, though 48% below the UK average, has risen sharply (+60% YoY), tied to increased community engagement or reporting. Public order crimes, now 34% below the UK average, have surged by 62% YoY, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in public spaces.
