South Cave Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 54.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast to national trends highlights the area's relative safety, though the crime profile reveals a distinct emphasis on violent crimes. Of the 22 total incidents recorded, 14 were classified as violence and sexual offences, accounting for 63.6% of all crimes. This proportion is higher than the UK average for violent crime, which includes a broader range of offences such as assault and sexual violence. The seasonal context of April—characterised by the Easter period, spring weather, and increased outdoor activity—likely contributes to the prominence of violent incidents, as social interactions in public spaces may heighten opportunities for conflict. Meanwhile, property crimes (4 incidents) and criminal damage (3 incidents) formed a smaller but still significant portion of the total, with the latter category (0.5 per 1,000) falling 15% below the UK average. The absence of major spikes in theft or burglary aligns with the area's low population density and rural-adjacent character, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. These patterns suggest that while South Cave's overall safety is commendable, targeted measures to address violent crime could further enhance community well-being.

April 2024 saw significant reductions in public order crimes (-75.0%) and other theft (-50.0%) compared to March, reflecting a shift in crime patterns that may align with seasonal changes. Despite a 36.4% decrease in violence and sexual offences from 22 to 14 incidents, this category still dominates the crime mix, contributing 63.6% of all reported crimes. South Cave's rate of violence and sexual offences (2.2 per 1,000) is 14% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Conversely, 'other crime'—which includes unclassified incidents—surpassed the UK average by 87%, though this category remains relatively small in absolute terms (2 incidents). These findings suggest a combination of localised factors and broader national trends, with violent crime remaining a focal concern despite overall declines.

South Cave's crime rate in April 2024 fell to 3.5 per 1,000 residents, a 42.0% decline from the previous month's 6.1 per 1,000. This drop positions the area as one of the UK's safest built-up regions, with a rate 54.5% below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, South Cave recorded roughly one crime per day in April, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for approximately every 284 residents, highlighting the rarity of criminal activity in this area. With a population of 6,238, the low monthly exposure to crime underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community factors that may contribute to sustained safety. These figures contrast sharply with the UK average, where residents face significantly higher risks, particularly in urban centres with denser populations and higher levels of economic disparity.
