Bailrigg Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Bailrigg’s crime rate in November 2024 stood at 1.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 76.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a marked improvement in public safety, particularly in violent crime and anti-social behaviour, which together accounted for 50% of all reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, saw a 50% month-on-month decline, likely influenced by the area’s residential character and the seasonal lull in outdoor activity. Anti-social behaviour and other theft also dropped by half, a trend consistent with the transition from peak shopping periods to quieter late-autumn conditions. While public order offences doubled, this increase remained isolated and did not impact the overall downward trajectory. The area’s low crime profile is further reinforced by its demographic composition, with limited commercial hubs or nightlife venues that might otherwise drive higher rates of property crime. Seasonal factors, including the absence of major festivals and the onset of darker evenings, may have contributed to the reduced visibility of crime. The stark contrast with the UK average underscores Bailrigg’s effectiveness in maintaining community safety, a pattern that has persisted across multiple months despite the challenges posed by seasonal transitions.

Violence and sexual offences saw a 50% reduction in November, dropping from six incidents in October to three. This decline may be linked to the area’s relatively low population density and the absence of high-risk venues typically associated with such crimes. Anti-social behaviour and other theft also fell by 50%, reflecting a possible seasonal shift as the Black Friday shopping period passed and community activities shifted inward. However, public order offences doubled from zero to two incidents, a spike that could be tied to the increased foot traffic during Bonfire Night events. Bicycle theft in Bailrigg exceeded the UK average by 186%, a stark contrast to other categories. This anomaly suggests that local cycling infrastructure or storage practices may differ from national trends, though further data would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Bailrigg’s crime rate in November 2024 fell to 1.8 per 1,000 residents, a 47.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in similar residential areas during late autumn, where reduced foot traffic and seasonal events may contribute to lower incident reporting. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 0 crimes per day in November, a stark contrast to the 0.12 crimes per day recorded in October. When considering monthly exposure, one crime occurred for every 565 residents over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the area’s consistently low crime profile relative to its population. This statistic is particularly meaningful for residents, as it suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime in Bailrigg remains exceptionally low compared to both regional and national benchmarks. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that even with the small number of reported incidents, the area’s crime management strategies appear effective in maintaining public safety.
