Bagillt Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,484, the 47 crimes recorded in Bagillt during April 2024 equate to one crime for every 117 residents—a rate of 8.6 per 1,000, which places the area 11.7% above the UK average of 7.7. This figure, while not exceptionally high in an absolute sense, reflects a significant divergence from national trends. The most striking aspect of the data is the dominance of violent crime: 26 incidents (55.3% of total) involving violence and sexual offences, a category that is 84% above the UK average. This imbalance suggests a local dynamic that differs from broader patterns, possibly linked to the area's character as a built-up community within Flintshire. The seasonal context of April—Easter holidays and spring weather—may have contributed to increased outdoor activity, influencing the rise in violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour, accounting for 23.4% of all crimes, also showed a dramatic increase, with 11 incidents reported, compared to just 5 in the previous month. While property crimes (8 total) were relatively low, the sharp rise in burglary (from 0 to 4) and public order offences (from 1 to 2) points to shifting patterns. The data also reveals that certain categories, such as other theft and vehicle crime, performed below the UK average, indicating that not all crime types are following the same trajectory. These findings underscore the complexity of local crime dynamics and the need for targeted analysis to address specific trends.

April 2024 brought sharp increases in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour surging by 120% (5 to 11 incidents), burglary doubling from 0 to 4, and public order offences also rising 100% (1 to 2). These jumps highlight a notable shift in the crime mix, with violent crimes (26 incidents) now dominating the total (55.3%)—far exceeding the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000 vs 4.7 per 1,000). Conversely, some categories showed declines: criminal damage and arson fell by 75% (4 to 1), and vehicle crime dropped 50% (2 to 1), both below the UK average for their respective categories. This divergence suggests that while certain issues are intensifying, others are being mitigated. For residents, the surge in anti-social behaviour—now 11 incidents—may indicate a need for targeted community engagement strategies. The stark contrast between violent crime rates and property crime rates (26 vs 8) also raises questions about underlying factors, such as the timing of Easter events or changes in local demographics.

Bagillt's crime rate in April 2024 (8.6 per 1,000 residents) represents a 27.0% increase from March's 6.8 per 1,000, marking a significant upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that provides immediate context for residents. When scaled to the population of 5,484, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 117 residents over the course of the month—a stark reminder of the local impact. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable in a built-up area like Bagillt, where community density may amplify the visibility of crime. While the daily rate appears modest, the cumulative effect over a month underscores the need for sustained attention to public safety initiatives. The comparison to the UK average is less relevant here, as the focus is on the local trajectory of crime rather than national benchmarks. This shift in rate may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic during Easter, or other local dynamics influencing crime patterns.
