Bagillt Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt's crime rate in January 2024 stood at 7.7 per 1,000 residents, a 4.1% increase above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. The data reveals a stark imbalance in crime types, with violence and sexual offences comprising 50% of all reported crimes—far exceeding their UK average share of 46%. This category, at 3.8 per 1,000, highlights a concerning trend in the area. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 19.1% of total crimes, with a rate of 1.5 per 1,000, 52% above the UK average. The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period marked by shorter days and reduced retail footfall—may have contributed to these patterns, though the persistence of violent crime suggests deeper factors at play. Property crimes, including burglary and criminal damage, accounted for just 16.6% of all incidents, a lower share than the UK average. This could reflect Bagillt's built-up area characteristics, where community engagement and limited commercial activity may reduce opportunities for property-related offences. However, the surge in 'other crime'—a category not typically dominant in this area—raises questions about unaddressed vulnerabilities. The data underscores a need for targeted interventions in violence prevention and community cohesion, while the relatively low property crime rate indicates areas of strength in local security frameworks.

January 2024 saw a significant 100% increase in 'other crime' reports, rising from 0 to 3 incidents, and a 100% jump in drug-related offences. These spikes contrast with decreases in burglary (-25%) and other theft (-33.3%), which may reflect seasonal shifts in activity patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 50% of all crimes, a rate 46% above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, contributing 19.1% of total crimes. The rate of other theft fell by 33.3% to 2 incidents, suggesting improved local security measures or reduced opportunities for theft. The surge in 'other crime'—a category not typically dominant in this area—warrants attention, though its exact nature remains unspecified in the data.

Bagillt's crime rate in January 2024 rose by 2.4% compared to December's 7.5 per 1,000, reaching 7.7 per 1,000 residents. This places it 4.1% above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. Daily crime context shows 1.35 crimes reported per day in January, a figure that may reflect seasonal patterns in a built-up area with limited retail and nightlife activity. Over the course of the month, 1 crime occurred for every 131 residents, a rate that aligns with the area's small population and relatively low overall crime volume. While the increase is modest, the shift in crime types—particularly the surge in violence and anti-social behaviour—suggests a need for targeted local interventions. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Bagillt's crime profile, though slightly elevated nationally, remains manageable for a community of 5,484 people.
