The question of whether specific times of day correlate with increased crime in Coates and Eastrea is a valid concern. While Coates and Eastrea (a BUA within Fenland) demonstrates a relatively low crime rate of 36.9 incidents per 1,000 residents – considerably lower than the UK average of 91.6 – understanding potential temporal patterns is still important. However, it's crucial to interpret this information carefully as granular data on hourly or daily crime trends is not available within the provided data.
What the data does reveal is a striking difference between the overall safety score (90/100, exceeding the UK average of 79) and the night safety score (14/100). This significant discrepancy strongly suggests that residents may experience a perceived or actual increase in risk during nighttime hours. A night safety score of 14/100 indicates a considerably lower level of perceived safety compared to the UK average. This isn't a direct indication of a specific increase in crime events at night, but rather a reflection of factors contributing to feelings of unease and vulnerability.
It's important to note that a low night safety score can be influenced by factors beyond simply recorded crime, such as street lighting, visibility, and the presence of people. The population of Coates and Eastrea is relatively small (2789), which means that even a small number of incidents can have a disproportionate impact on perceived safety and reported statistics. Without more detailed data, we cannot definitively state specific times of day when crime is more likely. However, the night safety score is a key indicator that warrants increased vigilance after dark. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the local authorities and to be mindful of their surroundings, particularly during the evening and night.
