Bagillt Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,484 residents, 44 crimes reported in April 2023 equate to a crime rate of 8.0 per 1,000 people—6.7% higher than the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This rate places Bagillt in a position where local factors may amplify national trends, particularly in categories like violence and anti-social behaviour. The top three crime types—violence and sexual offences (18 incidents, 40.9% of total), anti-social behaviour (12 incidents, 27.3%), and criminal damage (5 incidents, 11.4%)—reflect a mix of interpersonal and property-related concerns. Violence and sexual offences in Bagillt are 27% above the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to the area’s small, close-knit community dynamics, where disputes or social tensions could escalate more readily. Anti-social behaviour, at 86% above the UK average, suggests potential challenges in managing public spaces or addressing youth-related activity. The seasonal context of April—Easter, spring weather, and increased outdoor activity—may contribute to these patterns, as more people gather in shared spaces, increasing opportunities for conflict or disorder. While property crimes remain relatively low (9 incidents, 20.5% of total), the absence of burglary incidents compared to the UK average (33% below) could indicate effective local deterrents or a demographic profile less prone to such crimes. These statistics illustrate a community navigating a balance between manageable crime levels and specific vulnerabilities that require ongoing monitoring.

April 2023 marked a significant drop in violent crimes, with a 40% decrease from March’s 30 to 18 incidents. This reduction aligns with the Easter holiday period, which typically sees lower outdoor activity and fewer social interactions in the area. Conversely, anti-social behaviour rose by 20%, from 10 to 12 incidents, while public order offences increased by 33%, from 3 to 4. These shifts suggest a combination of seasonal factors and local community dynamics. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Bagillt (3.3 per 1,000) is 27% above the UK average, underscoring a persistent challenge in this category. Meanwhile, burglary rates are 33% below the UK average, indicating potentially stronger local security measures or demographic factors that reduce property crime. The sudden 100% increase in 'other crime' from zero to one incident highlights the unpredictable nature of certain offence categories.

April 2023 saw a notable reduction in Bagillt’s overall crime rate compared to March, which stood at 11.1 per 1,000 residents. The current rate of 8.0 per 1,000 represents a 27.9% decrease, reflecting a shift in local crime dynamics. This decline is most evident in violent crimes, which dropped by 40% from 30 to 18. However, daily crime patterns remain consistent, with approximately one crime reported per day over the 30-day period. For residents, this translates to a monthly exposure rate of roughly one reported crime for every 125 people in the area. While the population of 5,484 is relatively small, the crime rate still exceeds the UK average by 6.7%, highlighting areas where local factors may intersect with broader national trends. The contrast between declining violent crime and rising anti-social behaviour suggests evolving challenges that require targeted attention.
