Earl Shilton Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Earl Shilton recorded 70 crimes across a population of 10,641, equating to a crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents — 19.5% below the UK average of 8.2. This figure translates to one reported crime for every 152 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that may help residents contextualise the scale of incidents relative to their community. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (26 incidents, 37.1% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (12, 17.1%) and vehicle crime (8, 11.4%). The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the early stages of summer tourism, may influence patterns of activity in the area. While violence and anti-social behaviour dominate the local crime picture, the rate of vehicle crime — 0.8 per 1,000 — is 78% above the UK average, suggesting a potential link to increased traffic or unsecured vehicles. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and other theft both fall significantly below the national average, indicating areas where the local environment may contribute to lower rates. The overall crime profile reflects a mix of factors, including the area's built-up character within a rural borough, where community networks and local policing efforts may play a role in mitigating certain types of crime.

Vehicle crime in Earl Shilton surged by 166.7% in June, rising from 3 to 8 incidents — a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, where the local rate now stands at 0.8 per 1,000. This 78% increase above the national average may reflect heightened traffic during summer. Other theft also doubled, with 4 incidents reported — 31% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 40%, from 10 to 6, a decline that aligns with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. The shift in crime mix, with violence (37.1% of total) and anti-social behaviour (17.1%) dominating, highlights a pattern more focused on interpersonal issues than property crime. Residents may find the vehicle crime surge particularly concerning, given its sharp rise despite the area's overall safety profile.

Earl Shilton's crime rate in June 2024 rose 9.5% compared to May's 6.0 per 1,000.5% below the UK average. Locally, this translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day — a figure that may feel more tangible for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 152 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the area's population of 10,641. While the increase suggests a shift in crime patterns, the rate still places Earl Shilton in a safer bracket than the national average. This contrast may reflect the area's character as a built-up district within a rural borough, where community cohesion and local policing efforts could contribute to lower overall rates. The daily crime figure, while modest, underscores the need for ongoing vigilance, particularly as seasonal factors like summer tourism begin to influence activity levels.
