Rogerstone Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Rogerstone during July 2024 reveals a distinct pattern shaped by seasonal and local factors. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for 28.6% of all reported incidents — the highest share among any category. This was followed by violence and sexual offences (21.4%) and public order issues (14.3%), reflecting the influence of summer activities in a built-up area. While violent crime rates in Rogerstone (1.1 per 1,000) were 61% below the UK average, anti-social behaviour rates (1.5 per 1,000) were 3% above national figures. This divergence may be partly explained by the area's proximity to Newport's urban infrastructure, which could contribute to higher levels of public order issues during festivals and events. The overall crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 — 38.1% below the UK average — suggests that Rogerstone remains a relatively safe environment, despite the spikes in public order and criminal damage. Seasonal context plays a clear role, with July's peak tourism and outdoor events likely amplifying anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. However, the significant underperformance of violent crime compared to the UK average indicates that local factors, such as community policing or demographic characteristics, may be effective in reducing more severe offences.

July saw sharp increases in public order offences (+300%), criminal damage and arson (+250%), and vehicle crime (+200%) compared to June. These spikes may be linked to summer festivals or increased outdoor activity. Conversely, other theft dropped by 60% and violence and sexual offences fell by 25%, suggesting possible shifts in criminal behaviour during peak tourist season. Anti-social behaviour, the most common crime type (28.6% of total), remained 3% above the UK average, while violence and sexual offences were 61% below the national rate. This contrast highlights Rogerstone's unique crime profile, with public order issues outpacing other areas but violent crime significantly lower. Residents might find the 56 total crimes reported in July — an average of 2 per day — a useful benchmark for understanding local crime trends.

Rogerstone's crime rate in July 2024 rose 36.4% from June's 3.8 per 1,000 to 5.2 per 1,000, still 38.1% below the UK average. Daily crime counts averaged 2 incidents per day over the month, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall crime levels. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 193 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests a lower frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. This statistic provides a tangible context for residents: the likelihood of encountering crime in Rogerstone remains significantly lower than in many other parts of the UK. The population-scaled perspective also highlights that, despite the month-on-month increase, the area continues to perform well against national benchmarks. This comparative advantage may be influenced by local factors such as community engagement, policing strategies, or the built-up area's specific characteristics that reduce opportunities for certain types of crime.
