Allerton Bywater Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Allerton Bywater’s September 2024 crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents marked a 14.3% deficit compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, underscoring the area’s relatively lower crime profile. The most prominent crime types were violence and sexual offences (41.5% of total incidents), vehicle crime (11.3%), and criminal damage and arson (11.3%). These figures align with the built-up area’s urban character, where proximity to transport hubs and commercial zones may contribute to vehicle-related offences and property damage. The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school activity and the onset of darker evenings—likely influenced patterns of violence and anti-social behaviour, which often peak during periods of heightened social interaction. However, the area’s performance in certain categories, such as anti-social behaviour (57% below the UK average) and shoplifting (56% below the UK average), suggests effective local measures or demographic factors that mitigate these risks. The balance between property and violent crime remains skewed, with property offences accounting for 42.4% of total incidents, though this is tempered by the area’s overall lower rate compared to national benchmarks. These dynamics reflect the interplay of local geography, community engagement, and seasonal rhythms in shaping Allerton Bywater’s crime picture.

September 2024 saw sharp increases in shoplifting, drugs, and anti-social behaviour, all rising by 100% from the previous month. This surge in shoplifting, from one to two incidents, contrasts with the area’s overall trend of being 56% below the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, burglary fell by 50%, from four to two incidents, reflecting a notable decrease in property crime. The breakdown of violent crimes—22 incidents, or 41.5% of the total—exceeds the UK average for this category by 3%, indicating a higher proportion of violence and sexual offences relative to national data. Public order offences also declined by 16.7%, from six to five, though they remained 7% above the UK average. These shifts suggest a combination of local factors, such as seasonal transitions and community dynamics, influencing crime patterns in the area.

Allerton Bywater’s September 2024 crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents represents an 8.2% increase from the previous month’s 6.1 per 1,000. This rise, though modest, translates to roughly two crimes reported daily across the built-up area’s 8,046 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 152 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. While the area’s overall rate remains 14.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, the population-scaled perspective highlights the impact of individual incidents on daily life. For instance, the 22 violent crimes recorded—accounting for 41.5% of all reported incidents—exceed the UK average for this category by 3%, suggesting a localised concentration of such offences. The daily crime count, while low, underscores the need for vigilance during transitional periods like September, when seasonal shifts may influence activity patterns.
