South Cave Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave’s crime rate in November 2024 remained at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 53.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relatively low level of criminal activity, though the distribution of crime types reveals nuanced trends. The most prevalent offences were criminal damage and arson (22.7% of total crimes), followed by 'other crime' and violence and sexual offences, each accounting for 22.7% of reported incidents. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these patterns, with November’s dark evenings and events such as Bonfire Night potentially influencing both property crimes and public order issues. The significant rise in criminal damage and arson compared to October—jumping from 1 to 5 incidents—suggests a sudden surge in this category. Similarly, 'other crime' saw an identical 400% increase, raising questions about unclassified or underreported incidents. While violent crime remained below the UK average, the sharp increases in property-related offences and the surge in 'other crime' highlight areas where local authorities and residents may need to focus their efforts. The low overall rate, combined with the uneven distribution of crime types, illustrates a community that is generally safe but with pockets of activity requiring targeted attention.

November 2024 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with criminal damage and arson rising by 400% to 5 incidents, and 'other crime' also jumping to 5 cases—a 400% increase from October. These spikes, though still below the UK average for some categories, highlight areas requiring attention. 'other crime' in South Cave was 371% above the UK average, raising questions about the nature of these incidents and potential local factors. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50% to 2 cases, and violence and sexual offences decreased by 37.5% to 5, both significantly below the UK average. The drop in violence may reflect seasonal factors such as reduced evening activity during darker November nights. Residents should be particularly vigilant regarding the sharp rise in 'other crime,' which, while not explicitly defined, could encompass a range of incidents warranting community awareness. The contrast between declining violent crime and increasing property-related offences also suggests shifting patterns that may require targeted policing or community initiatives.

South Cave’s crime rate remained stable at 3.5 per 1,000 residents in November 2024, matching the figure from the previous month. This consistency suggests no immediate surge or decline in overall criminal activity, though localized shifts in crime types warrant closer attention. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 6,238 residents. Over the course of November, one crime occurred for roughly every 284 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while modest, underscores the importance of vigilance in community spaces. The population context further highlights that South Cave’s crime profile is safer than the UK average, with the 53.9% gap indicating a stark contrast to national trends. However, the distribution of crime types reveals uneven patterns: while violent crimes are significantly below the UK average, property-related and public order offences show marked divergence. These disparities may reflect local factors such as community engagement, policing strategies, or seasonal influences like the timing of Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, which could have drawn attention to specific areas. Residents should remain aware that even in a low-crime area, targeted crime types may require tailored responses.
