Allerton Bywater Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Allerton Bywater’s crime rate in June 2024 remained lower than the UK average, recording 6.3 crimes per 1,000 residents—23.2% below the national figure of 8.2 per 1,000. This continued performance positions the area as one of the safer built-up zones within Leeds, though specific categories of crime show troubling trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 47.1% of all reported incidents. This category saw a marked increase, rising by 20% compared to the previous month, a shift that could be influenced by the start of summer, when outdoor activity and social interactions increase. The area’s urban character, with its mix of residential and commercial spaces, likely contributes to the prevalence of such crimes, as public areas become more crowded during the longer days of June. Anti-social behaviour, while down by 20%, still reflects a 29% gap below the UK average, suggesting effective community engagement or policing in this area. However, the rise in burglary and other theft—both increasing by 50%—points to potential vulnerabilities in residential security. These trends, coupled with the seasonal context of June, which marks the beginning of tourism and increased foot traffic, may explain why property-related crimes have surged. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in spaces where violent incidents have increased, and to consider measures such as improved home security or community watch schemes. The overall picture, while encouraging in terms of the area’s relative safety, highlights the need for targeted interventions in specific crime categories.

June 2024 saw a 20% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 20 to 24 cases—a significant jump that outpaces the UK average by 9%. This category, which accounts for 47.1% of all crimes reported, remains a critical focus for local authorities. Concurrently, burglary and other theft each rose by 50%, moving from 2 to 3 incidents. This increase, though small in absolute terms, suggests heightened vulnerability in residential areas, possibly linked to seasonal patterns or targeted activity. Anti-social behaviour fell by 20%, dropping from 10 to 8 cases, a trend that aligns with the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, which is 29% below the national rate. Meanwhile, vehicle crime rose by 11% above the UK average, at 0.5 per 1,000, indicating potential challenges in securing parked vehicles in the area. Residents should remain cautious, particularly in spaces where violent incidents have increased, and consider reporting suspicious activity promptly.

Allerton Bywater's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 6.3 per 1,000 residents, a 5.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.7 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, reflects a broader trend of reduced crime frequency in the area over recent weeks. On a daily basis, the neighbourhood experienced approximately two crimes per day in June, a figure that, while localised, provides context for residents assessing their immediate risk. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 158 residents, highlighting the relatively low density of incidents compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure rate is particularly significant when viewed against the area’s population of 8,046, as it underscores the proportion of the community affected by crime. While the overall rate remains well below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, the fluctuation in specific crime categories—such as the 50% rise in burglary—suggests that localised factors may be influencing certain types of criminal activity. These figures, when combined with the area’s built-up urban character, indicate a need for continued vigilance in specific sectors of Allerton Bywater.
