Odiham Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Odiham, 3.3 crimes were reported in April 2024—a rate that is 57.1% below the UK average of 7.7. This translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime per 303 residents, a figure that may seem low but reflects the area's character as a small built-up community. Violence and sexual offences (6 cases, 1.1 per 1,000) were the most common category, significantly below the UK average for this type (2.6 per 1,000). Public order offences (4 cases, 0.7 per 1,000) and 'other crime' (2 cases, 0.4 per 1,000) stood out as categories above the UK average, suggesting local dynamics that diverge from national trends. The seasonal context of April—Easter celebrations and spring weather—likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which may have influenced the rise in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime. While the overall rate remains low, the mix of crime types highlights the need for community-specific understanding, such as the role of local events in shaping public order issues or the impact of transient populations on 'other crime' statistics.

April 2024 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour, vehicle crime, and 'other crime' each doubling from March. This contrasts with a 14.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which remained 57% below the UK average. The rise in anti-social behaviour may reflect increased community interaction during Easter events, while the spike in vehicle crime could link to seasonal travel patterns. Public order offences (rate 0.7 per 1,000) were 32% above the UK average, a divergence that suggests local factors such as community events or policing strategies may play a role. Meanwhile, 'other crime' (rate 0.4 per 1,000) was 150% above the UK average, indicating a specific local trend that warrants further analysis.

Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 303 residents, illustrating the relatively low exposure to crime in this built-up area.
