Great Glen Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Great Glen in June 2024 reveals a strikingly low overall rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 67.1% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the area's distinct characteristics compared to national trends. The crime mix shows a significant emphasis on violent offences, which accounted for 53.3% of all incidents (8 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.3%, 2 cases) and other theft (6.7%, 1 case). This balance contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes make up 46% of the total, suggesting that Great Glen's local dynamics may prioritise different risk factors. Seasonal context offers potential explanations for these patterns: the start of summer in June often brings increased tourism to nearby coastal areas, which could divert activity away from local crime hotspots. However, the persistent presence of violent crimes at such a low rate may reflect underlying social or economic factors unique to the built-up area within Harborough. The category of possession of weapons stands out as an exception, with rates 186% above the UK average, indicating a specific anomaly that may require further investigation. This combination of low overall crime and concentrated violent incidents illustrates a community with generally low-risk characteristics, though targeted interventions may be needed for the weapon-related offences.

June 2024 saw a 100% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 1 to 2 incidents. This contrasts with sharp declines in criminal damage and arson (-80%), other theft (-50%), and public order offences (-50%). The violent crime category remained significantly below the UK average, with 8 incidents (1.5 per 1,000) compared to the national rate of 2.8 per 1,000. Possession of weapons, however, exceeded the UK average by 186%, highlighting an anomaly in this category. These shifts suggest a combination of local factors, with anti-social behaviour possibly linked to seasonal changes in community activity. The reduction in property crimes aligns with the overall downward trend, though the spike in weapon-related offences warrants closer scrutiny. Residents may find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly relevant, as it represents the only upward movement in any category this month.

Great Glen's crime rate in June 2024 dropped to 2.7 per 1,000 residents, a 42.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.7 per 1,000. This decline contrasts with the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, placing the area 67.1% below national levels. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes reported per day in June, reflecting the low overall rate. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 366 residents, a figure that contextualises the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the population of 5,496, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in any given month. The drop from the prior month may align with seasonal patterns, as June marks the beginning of summer when tourism typically increases in nearby coastal areas, potentially shifting activity away from local crime hotspots. However, the absence of a UK daily comparison means this analysis remains focused on local trends.
