Bagillt Crime Rate August 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt's crime profile in August 2023 reveals a distinct mix of violent and property-related offences that diverges from the UK average. With a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents — 3.7% below the UK average — the area's overall security environment appears marginally better than the national picture. However, the distribution of crime types tells a different story: violence and sexual offences (16 cases) accounted for 37.2% of all crimes, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that Bagillt's built-up character, likely with a small but active community, may contribute to a higher incidence of interpersonal crimes. Anti-social behaviour (9 cases) and other crime (4 cases) also stood out, with the latter category being 438% above the UK average. This anomaly may reflect local definitions of 'other crime' or underreporting in other areas. Seasonal factors in August — a peak holiday month — likely influenced patterns, as evidenced by the sharp rise in vehicle crime (up 200% from July) and burglary (up 100%). These trends are consistent with the increased presence of tourists and the potential for unoccupied homes to be targeted. Conversely, public order offences fell sharply by 66.7%, due to reduced nightlife activity or community initiatives. The balance of crime types highlights a combination of local demographics and seasonal rhythms, with violence and property crime dominating the landscape. While Bagillt's overall rate remains slightly below the UK average, the concentration of certain offence categories points to a need for targeted strategies to address specific vulnerabilities.

August 2023 saw sharp increases in vehicle crime, burglary, and drug-related offences, each tripling from their July levels. This surge in vehicle crime — rising from 1 to 3 incidents — aligns with the seasonal context of August as a peak holiday month, where empty homes may be more vulnerable to theft. Conversely, public order offences fell by two-thirds, possibly reflecting reduced foot traffic in local areas during August. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 30.8%, a drop that may be linked to the area's built-up character and limited nightlife. Bagillt's rate of violence and sexual offences (2.9 per 1,000) was 10% above the UK average, suggesting a local factor such as community dynamics or policing strategies may influence this category. Meanwhile, other crime — including non-violent, non-property offences — was 438% above the UK average, a stark contrast that warrants closer examination of reporting practices or local definitions of 'other crime'.

Bagillt's crime rate in August 2023 dropped 2.2% from the previous month's 8.0 to 7.8 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a slight but measurable decline. Over the 31 days of August, this translated to an average of one reported crime per day — a figure that, while low, underscores the area's generally stable security environment. When viewed through a population lens, the monthly exposure rate of 1-in-128 residents highlights the relatively low frequency of crime relative to the local population. This contrasts with the UK average, where the monthly exposure would be slightly higher, though no direct comparison is available for Bagillt. The daily crime count provides a tangible metric for residents: for every 128 people in Bagillt, one crime was reported during August. This figure, while small, aligns with the area's status as a built-up zone with limited commercial or industrial activity, which may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The decline from July is notable but modest, suggesting that August's conditions — such as increased tourism or seasonal patterns — did not significantly alter the overall crime profile.
