Allerton Bywater Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Allerton Bywater's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 31.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area's relative safety, though specific crime types reveal uneven patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.9% of all crimes, with a rate of 1.9 per 1,000—26% below the UK average. This may reflect the area's character as a suburban extension of Leeds, where community policing and lower population density could contribute to reduced violent incidents. However, burglary emerged as a significant outlier, with a rate of 1.1 per 1,000—244% above the UK average. This stark contrast may be influenced by local factors such as housing stock, with older properties more vulnerable to break-ins. The seasonal context of April, marked by the Easter period and milder spring weather, likely impacted crime trends. Increased outdoor activity during this time may have driven shoplifting and public order offences, though these were not prominent in the data. Conversely, the sharp decline in criminal damage and arson (down 58.8% from March) could indicate seasonal inactivity, with fewer opportunities for vandalism during the Easter holidays. The overall picture suggests a combination of local conditions and national trends, with Allerton Bywater's crime profile reflecting both its suburban nature and the broader UK context.

April 2024 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with other theft and vehicle crime each doubling from zero to two incidents, marking a 100% increase. This contrasts sharply with a 58.8% decrease in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 17 to 7 cases. The area's violent crime rate (1.9 per 1,000) was 26% below the UK average, a notable deviation from the national trend. However, burglary rates stood at 1.1 per 1,000, 244% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000—a stark outlier that may reflect local factors such as property density or policing strategies. These fluctuations highlight the uneven distribution of crime risks, with burglary emerging as a critical concern. Residents may find the doubling of vehicle crime particularly relevant, as it suggests a need for heightened vigilance in parking areas. The sharp decline in criminal damage and arson could indicate seasonal factors, such as reduced outdoor activity during the Easter period, or improved community engagement in preventing vandalism.

Allerton Bywater's crime rate in April 2024 (5.3 per 1,000 residents) represents a 34.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.2 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as safer compared to its March figures, though it remains well below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may offer residents a tangible sense of the local crime profile. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 187 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contrasts with the UK-wide average, though direct comparisons are not available for this metric. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite fluctuations in specific crime types, the overall trend suggests a sustained reduction in criminal activity. This may reflect seasonal shifts, such as the Easter period and spring weather, which could influence community activity and police visibility.
