Yaxley Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Yaxley’s crime profile in November 2023 remained markedly lower than the UK average, with an overall rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents—42.7% below the national average. This figure, consistent with the previous month, underscores the area’s generally low level of criminal activity. The most prevalent crime types were anti-social behaviour (26.8% of all incidents), followed by violence and sexual offences (24.4%), and criminal damage and arson (17.1%). These patterns align with the characteristics of a small, rural or semi-rural built-up area, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to lower violent crime rates. Seasonal factors, such as the timing of Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings, likely influenced the increase in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage incidents, though these remained below UK averages for most categories. 'Other crime' saw a sharp rise, which may reflect unclassified or emerging issues, while 'Public order' and 'Shoplifting' offences decreased, linked to seasonal retail activity or reduced foot traffic. The low crime rate, combined with the area’s demographic and geographic profile, suggests a stable environment with fewer opportunities for property-related crimes, though localized shifts in specific categories warrant monitoring.

November 2023 saw a 300% increase in 'Other crime' reports, rising from one to four incidents. This surge, though small in absolute terms, suggests a potential shift in criminal activity patterns or unreported issues warranting closer attention. Conversely, 'Other theft' fell by 75% (from four to one), and 'Public order' offences dropped by 60% (from five to two), indicating possible seasonal or situational factors reducing certain types of crime. Anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime, accounting for 26.8% of all incidents, though its rate was 14% above the UK average. Meanwhile, 'Violence and sexual offences' were 61% below the UK average, a contrast that may reflect the area’s demographic or social dynamics. These fluctuations, particularly the sharp rise in 'Other crime', could signal emerging trends or localized pressures that require further scrutiny.

Yaxley’s crime rate remained stable in November 2023 at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no immediate spikes or dips in overall criminal activity, though localized shifts in crime types are evident. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 9,601 residents. When scaled to the monthly exposure, this equates to one crime occurring for every 234 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that contextualizes the frequency of incidents for local residents. While this rate is significantly lower than the UK average, the daily and monthly metrics highlight the rarity of crime in Yaxley, a characteristic likely tied to its rural setting and lower population density. Comparing this to the previous month’s data reinforces the stability of the area’s crime picture, with no notable directional shift in the overall rate.
