Earl Shilton Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 10,641, the 77 crimes reported in June 2023 translate to a crime rate of 7.2 per 1,000 residents—15.3% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This places Earl Shilton among the safer built-up areas in the UK, though the distribution of crime types reveals local patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 44.2% of all incidents, making them the most prevalent category. This could be influenced by the area’s character as a commuter town within Hinckley and Bosworth, where mixed-use residential and retail spaces may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. Seasonal factors also appear relevant: June, the start of summer, may correlate with increased public activity, driving up violence and sexual offences, while the longer daylight hours might deter anti-social behaviour. Criminal damage and arson (13.0% of total crimes) and vehicle crime (11.7%) were both significantly above the UK average, reflecting the presence of local infrastructure or vehicle storage areas. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (39% below UK) and public order offences (25% below) may indicate effective community policing or a cultural emphasis on public decorum. These trends highlight the need to consider both geographic and seasonal factors when interpreting crime statistics, as they often interact in complex ways to shape local outcomes.

June 2023 saw a striking 350% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 2 to 9 incidents. This surge, though still 91% above the UK average, may reflect seasonal changes in vehicle usage or parking patterns.

Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime category, accounting for 44.2% of total incidents—10% above the UK average—and may be influenced by the start of summer, when public spaces see increased foot traffic. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, was 39% below the UK average, a trend that could be linked to local community initiatives or seasonal factors such as longer daylight hours reducing opportunities for such incidents.

Earl Shilton’s crime rate in June 2023 fell to 7.2 per 1,000 residents, a 23.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 9.4 per 1,000. This decline suggests a short-term shift in local crime dynamics. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day in June, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 138 residents, a monthly exposure rate that reflects the area’s relative safety compared to larger urban centres.

The drop in crime may align with seasonal patterns, as June marks the beginning of summer and a period when local events or tourism activity might shift focus away from crime reporting, though this remains speculative without further data.
