South Cave Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave’s crime rate in April 2023 was 5.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 32% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure, the lowest recorded for the area in recent months, reflects a combination of low overall crime and specific categories that deviate from national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.6% of all crimes reported, making it the most common category, though this rate was 19% below the UK average. The second most frequent crime was criminal damage and arson, which occurred at a rate 31% above the national average, suggesting a localised issue that may be tied to the area’s built-up environment or seasonal factors. Public order offences and anti-social behaviour, both relatively low, contributed 25.1% of the total crimes, with the latter being 58% below the UK average. The seasonal context of April—marked by the Easter period and milder spring weather—may have influenced crime patterns, with increased outdoor activity affecting both violent and property crimes. While the overall rate remains low, the sharp increase in robbery and burglary (from zero to one incident each) raises questions about transient factors, such as temporary spikes in foot traffic or targeted incidents during holidays. The area’s crime profile, characterised by lower rates of theft and anti-social behaviour but higher rates of criminal damage, suggests a unique combination of local conditions and seasonal influences that may require further analysis to fully understand. For now, the data illustrates a generally safer environment compared to the UK.

April 2023 saw a 100% increase in both robbery and burglary, with these crimes rising from zero to one incident each. This spike contrasts with a 66.7% decrease in 'other crime,' which fell from three to one incident. Violence and sexual offences, though still the most common category (40.6% of total crimes), decreased by 23.5% compared to March, likely influenced by seasonal shifts and reduced public gatherings during the Easter period. Criminal damage and arson in South Cave were 31% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 58% below. These disparities highlight the area’s unique crime profile, where property-related offences like criminal damage are more prevalent than the national trend. For residents, the 100% increase in robbery and burglary may warrant heightened awareness in specific areas, particularly during the Easter holiday period when foot traffic could be unpredictable.

South Cave's crime rate in April 2023 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 5.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, though the overall rate remains lower than the UK average. On a daily basis, South Cave recorded approximately one reported crime per day in April, a figure that translates to a local context of one crime for every 195 residents over the course of the month. This low monthly exposure underscores the area’s relatively safer environment compared to the national average. When considering the population of 6,238 residents, the crime rate suggests that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a monthly basis, though specific categories like robbery and burglary show notable fluctuations. The data reflects a balance between consistent low-level crime and occasional spikes, which may be influenced by seasonal factors such as increased outdoor activity during spring.
