Bradwell (Great Yarmouth) Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Bradwell (Great Yarmouth) maintained a crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents in November 2023, a figure that places it 68% below the UK average of 7.5. This significant disparity underscores the area’s relatively low exposure to criminal activity compared to the national landscape. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46.2% of all recorded crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18%) and criminal damage and arson (15.4%). These patterns align with the seasonal dynamics of November, a month marked by shorter daylight hours and events such as Bonfire Night, which may contribute to increased anti-social behaviour. The decline in violence and sexual offences—down by 35.7% compared to the previous month—suggests a possible reduction in opportunities for such crimes, potentially linked to the transition from the busy holiday season to a quieter period. However, the rise in other crime, burglary, and vehicle crime—each increasing by 100%—highlights the need for vigilance in areas where these incidents occurred. While the overall rate remains low, the small but notable increases in specific categories warrant monitoring, particularly as they may indicate shifts in criminal activity that could be influenced by local factors such as the timing of events or changes in community patterns. The area’s position within Great Yarmouth, a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, likely plays a role in shaping these trends, though further analysis would be required to establish direct correlations.

November 2023 saw a notable 35.7% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 28 to 18 incidents. This decline aligns with the seasonal context of shorter evenings and the post-Christmas shopping period, which may reduce opportunities for public-facing crimes. However, three categories experienced significant increases: other crime, burglary, and vehicle crime, each rising by 100% from zero to one incident. While these figures are small, they suggest emerging trends that could warrant closer attention, particularly as vehicle crime rates in the area remain 80% below the UK average. The breakdown also reveals that violence and sexual offences in Bradwell are 58% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the national profile. This disparity may reflect the area’s smaller population and lower density of nightlife or commercial activity compared to larger urban centres, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Bradwell (Great Yarmouth) recorded a crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents in November 2023, marking a 6.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.6. This downward trend suggests a continued reduction in overall criminal activity, though the pace of decline has slowed compared to earlier in the year. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported every 30 days, translating to a low-frequency environment where residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 414 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of criminal activity within the local population. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, reinforcing Bradwell’s position as a relatively safe built-up area within Great Yarmouth. The population of 16,135 further highlights the manageable size of the community, where crime is dispersed across a smaller number of households and public spaces, potentially allowing for more targeted policing and community engagement efforts.
