South Cave Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

South Cave’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 33.8% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance underscores the area’s relatively safer profile compared to the national picture, a trend that may be influenced by its built-up character and community dynamics. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.4% of all reported incidents, followed by public order offences (15.6%) and other theft (12.5%). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal and public safety challenges, which may be exacerbated by seasonal factors such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity during spring. The relatively low levels of property crimes, including burglary (3.1%) and vehicle crime (3.1%), contrast with the UK average, indicating that South Cave’s residents may benefit from a lower incidence of theft-related offences. However, the data also reveals a complex mix of trends, with public order offences significantly exceeding the UK average while other categories like violence and sexual offences saw notable declines. This interplay of factors highlights the importance of contextualising crime rates within the local environment, where community engagement and seasonal rhythms may shape the crime profile. The month’s crime profile aligns with broader patterns observed in similar built-up areas, where public order and interpersonal disputes often dominate over property crimes, particularly during periods of heightened social activity.

April 2025 saw stark shifts in crime patterns, with violence and sexual offences decreasing by 45% compared to March, reflecting a significant drop from 20 to 11 incidents. Conversely, other theft, other crime, and criminal damage and arson each surged by 300%, 200%, and 200% respectively, indicating a marked increase in these categories. Public order offences, at 0.8 per 1,000, were 48% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, a figure that may be linked to seasonal factors such as Easter-related gatherings or increased public events. Other crime, which includes unclassified incidents, rose 200% to 3 cases, significantly outpacing the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. These fluctuations highlight the need for residents to remain vigilant, particularly in areas where public order incidents are concentrated. The sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, despite being 12% below the UK average, may suggest targeted activities or specific local vulnerabilities.

South Cave's crime rate in April 2025 (5.1 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 3.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 5.0 per 1,000, though it remains significantly lower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 195 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. This equates to roughly one crime per day in South Cave, a rate that is lower than the UK-wide average when considering daily crime exposure. The built-up nature of South Cave, likely characterised by a mix of residential and commercial areas, may contribute to its relatively low crime levels compared to larger urban centres. However, the slight month-on-month rise suggests potential fluctuations tied to seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during Easter or variations in community activity patterns. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the increase, residents face a proportionally lower risk of encountering crime than the national average, a trend consistent with the area’s historical crime profile.
