Kingston upon Hull Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Kingston upon Hull’s September 2024 crime rate of 10.9 per 1,000 residents marks a stark deviation from the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, with the area recording 41.6% more crimes than the national benchmark. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 42.6% of all reported incidents and remaining 76% above the UK average for this category. Public order offences, which make up 9.8% of total crimes, also surged, exceeding the UK rate by 96%. These figures align with the seasonal context of September, a time when the return of students and the start of the academic year may contribute to heightened tensions and disorder in public spaces. Shoplifting and criminal damage further amplified the trend, with both categories registering 47% and 61% above UK averages, respectively. The data suggests a combination of population movements and local crime dynamics, particularly in areas with high concentrations of retail and educational institutions. As the nights draw in and the academic term begins, residents are encouraged to remain vigilant, especially in high-traffic zones where property crimes and public order issues are most prevalent.

September 2024 saw a 30.4% rise in bicycle theft, with incidents increasing from 56 to 73. This surge aligns with the start of the academic year, as students return to the city and cycling becomes more common. Concurrently, burglary rates rose by 10.9%, reaching 204 cases—a figure 126% above the UK average for this category. The disproportionate spike in bicycle theft, which is 233% above the UK rate, may partly explain the increased focus on theft-related crimes in the area. In contrast, drug-related offences fell by 36.7%, with reported cases dropping from 49 to 31. This decline, however, does not offset the broader trend of rising violent crime, as violence and sexual offences remain 76% above the UK average, accounting for 42.6% of all reported crimes. Residents are advised to secure bikes in public areas and report suspicious activity promptly.

The crime rate in Kingston upon Hull for September 2024 stood at 10.9 per 1,000 residents, an 11.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 12.2 per 1,000. This decline, though notable, still places the area 41.6% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 100 reported crimes per day over the 30-day period, highlighting a persistent need for vigilance. On a population scale, the monthly exposure means that over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 92 residents—a figure that, while lower than the prior month, remains significantly higher than the national average. This monthly aggregate underscores the importance of community engagement and targeted policing efforts, particularly in areas with high foot traffic such as the town centre, where seasonal transitions may influence crime patterns.
