Bagillt Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,484, the 33 crimes reported in April 2025 translate to 6.0 crimes per 1,000 residents — 22.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This rate positions Bagillt as one of the safer built-up areas in the UK. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45.5% of all crimes, a significant share that may partly explain the area’s lower overall rate compared to the UK average, which sees 2.6 per 1,000 for this category. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime type, occurred at 0.9 per 1,000 — 32% below the UK average, suggesting community cohesion or effective local policing in managing such incidents. The seasonal context of April, with Easter and spring weather driving increased outdoor activity, likely influences the distribution of crimes. While property crimes (10 incidents) remained relatively low, the share of violent crimes (15) highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where interpersonal conflict may escalate. The data suggests a balance between proactive community measures and the inherent challenges of a small, built-up area with limited resources for crime prevention.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with criminal damage and arson rising by 100% (from 0 to 4 incidents) — a stark increase that may reflect seasonal disruptions or specific incidents tied to the Easter period. Conversely, burglary fell by 75% (from 4 to 1), potentially linked to heightened community vigilance or the impact of anti-burglary measures implemented in previous months. Anti-social behaviour, though still the second most common crime type, dropped by 54.5% (from 11 to 5), reflecting the influence of local initiatives or the natural fluctuation of such incidents. Violence and sexual offences, while slightly lower (15 vs 16 in March), remain 3% above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, indicating a persistent challenge in this category. The rise in drugs-related crimes (100% increase) and other crime (100% increase) adds complexity to the area’s crime profile, suggesting emerging pressures that may require tailored responses. These findings underscore the importance of contextual analysis, as the same crime type can exhibit vastly different dynamics based on local geography, demographics, and seasonal rhythms.

April’s crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 represents an 8.2% decrease from March’s 6.6 per 1,000, marking a downward trend that may reflect the cumulative impact of local policing strategies or seasonal factors. On a daily basis, the 33 crimes reported over 30 days equate to roughly 1 crime per day — a manageable frequency for a small built-up area. However, the monthly exposure figure reveals that over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for every 166 residents, a ratio that, while low, highlights the visibility of crime in a close-knit community. When scaled to population size, Bagillt’s rate is below the UK average, yet specific categories like violence and sexual offences remain slightly elevated. This contrast suggests that while the area benefits from overall safety, targeted efforts are needed in higher-risk categories. The population context also means that even small changes in crime rates can have measurable impacts on residents, reinforcing the need for sustained engagement with local crime prevention measures. The comparison with the UK average underscores both the successes and the areas requiring attention in Bagillt’s policing and community strategies.
