Allerton Bywater Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Allerton Bywater's crime rate for November 2024 stands at 11.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 47.4% above the UK average of 7.6. This stark divergence from national trends underscores the area's distinct crime profile, which is dominated by violent offences accounting for 61.1% of all incidents. Violence and sexual offences (55 cases) are 164% above the UK average, while public order crimes (8 cases) and criminal damage (6 cases) also exceed national rates by 96% and 40% respectively. These figures contrast sharply with the UK's lower prevalence of anti-social behaviour, which is 55% below the national average in this area. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and concentrated retail activity during Black Friday, may contribute to the elevated levels of violence and public disorder. As a built-up district within Leeds, Allerton Bywater's proximity to urban centres and transient populations likely influences its crime dynamics, though the precise interplay between local factors and national trends requires further analysis. The dominance of violent crime over property-related offences also suggests a need for targeted interventions addressing the root causes of interpersonal conflict in the area.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in public order crimes, rising from four to eight incidents, a shift that may reflect the impact of Bonfire Night and the heightened presence of transient crowds. Concurrently, other crime and drugs-related offences also doubled from their previous month's figures, indicating a potential uptick in unregulated activity. In contrast, burglary incidents fell by 63.6% (from 11 to 4), a marked decrease that could be linked to seasonal changes in property occupancy or increased community vigilance. The area's violent crime rate (6.8 per 1,000) remains 164% above the UK average, a disparity that suggests unique local pressures. For residents, the 1-in-89 monthly exposure rate offers a tangible perspective on the frequency of crime in the area, though this figure does not account for the broader context of national trends or the specific nature of local incidents.

Allerton Bywater's crime rate in November 2024 (11.2 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 42.9% increase compared to the previous month's rate of 7.8 per 1,000. This upward trend aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the month's darker evenings and concentrated retail activity during Black Friday may contribute to heightened incidents. On a daily basis, the area experiences roughly three crimes per day, a figure that underscores the persistent nature of local challenges. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 89 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents relative to the population of 8,046. While this rate is significantly higher than the UK average, it is important to contextualise it within the area's characteristics as a built-up district within Leeds, where urban density and transient populations may influence crime dynamics. The comparison to the UK average also reveals that Allerton Bywater's violent crime rate is 164% above the national figure, suggesting a distinct local profile that requires targeted analysis.
