Bagillt Crime Rate March 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Bagillt, the crime rate of 6.8 per 1,000 in March 2024 translates to a daily risk of encountering one reported crime for every 148 residents. This figure is 11.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a consistent trend that underscores the area’s relative safety. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 59.5% of all reported incidents—nearly double the UK average rate of 2.7 per 1,000. This category’s sharp increase, rising by 29.4% from February, may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the transition to spring, which often brings changes in social activity and outdoor gatherings. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, fell by 50% compared to the previous month, potentially reflecting the impact of community initiatives or reduced public drinking during milder weather. The overall crime mix shows a balance between violent and property crimes, with property crimes comprising only 24% of the total (9 out of 37). This contrast with the UK profile, where property crimes typically dominate, may reflect Bagillt’s built-up character and the influence of local policing priorities. As March progressed, the lengthening evenings and changing clocks likely contributed to shifts in crime patterns, though the exact interplay between these factors and reported incidents remains an area for further observation.

March saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from zero to two incidents, a shift that may reflect changes in traffic patterns or seasonal activity. Theft from the person also doubled, with one reported incident, highlighting a potential vulnerability in public spaces. Conversely, public order offences fell by 75%, from four to one, possibly linked to quieter evenings as the weather improved. Violence and sexual offences rose by 29.4%, from 17 to 22, marking the most significant category increase. This category’s rate of 4.0 per 1,000 is 50% above the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, a disparity that may stem from local demographics or unmet policing needs. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, dropped by 50%, from 10 to five, a decline that could indicate successful community interventions or seasonal shifts in social behaviour.

In March 2024, Bagillt’s crime rate fell to 6.8 per 1,000 residents, a 9.8% decrease from February’s 7.5 per 1,000. This decline places the area 11.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a consistent trend that reflects broader regional safety improvements. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that contextualises risk in tangible terms for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 148 residents, translating to a monthly exposure rate that is lower than many comparable communities. With a population of 5,484, this equates to a manageable level of risk, though localised factors such as community engagement and policing strategies may further influence these figures. The shift from winter to spring, with longer evenings and changing social patterns, likely plays a role in these fluctuations.
