Chatteris Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Chatteris maintained a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 65.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relatively low exposure to criminal activity, even as seasonal factors like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping may influence local patterns. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 47.1% of all reported incidents. This category alone remains 54% below the UK average, reflecting a consistent trend of reduced violent crime in the area. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences followed, each contributing 14.7% and 8.8% respectively. These rates are also significantly below the UK average, with anti-social behaviour at 62% and public order at 62% below national levels. The seasonal context of November—marked by darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night—may contribute to fluctuations in crime types. The low incidence of property-related crimes, such as vehicle crime and burglary, which are 60% and 41% below UK averages respectively, suggests that the area’s built-up nature and its smaller population size may limit opportunities for such offences. However, the 100% increase in robbery, burglary, and other crime in November highlights the need for vigilance in specific contexts, even within an otherwise low-risk environment.

November 2023 saw a 52.9% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 34 incidents in October to 16. This reduction, though significant, contrasts with a 100% increase in robbery, burglary, and other crime, which rose from zero to one incident each. The shift in crime mix highlights a move away from violent crime towards property-related incidents, though the latter remain well below UK averages. For instance, vehicle crime fell by 50%, from four to two incidents, a decline consistent with the broader trend of reduced criminal activity. The category of violence and sexual offences, however, remains 54% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, despite the month-on-month drop. This disparity suggests that Chatteris continues to experience a markedly lower incidence of violent crime compared to national trends, even as localized spikes in other categories occur. Residents may find the 100% increase in robbery particularly noteworthy, as it represents an anomaly in an otherwise stable month.

In November 2023, Chatteris recorded a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 41.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.5 per 1,000. This decline brings the area’s crime rate further below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, a gap that remains significant. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime every 30 days, equating to roughly one crime per day for its population of 12,951. Over the course of the month, this translates to one reported crime for every 381 residents, a figure that highlights the relatively low frequency of criminal activity in the area. While the overall rate has dropped, the shift in crime types between October and November reveals a notable reallocation of risk. The daily crime count, though low, underscores the importance of localized awareness, as even infrequent incidents can have immediate impacts on community safety. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that residents are statistically less likely to encounter crime compared to the UK average, though this does not eliminate the need for vigilance in specific contexts such as public spaces or during seasonal events.
