Rogerstone Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Rogerstone, a built-up area within Newport, maintained a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents—53.7% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast with the national picture underscores the area’s relative safety, a trend consistent with its lower-than-average rates across multiple crime categories. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 39% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (26.8%) and other theft (12.2%). These figures suggest a crime profile skewed toward interpersonal disputes and minor property crimes, with violent incidents remaining significantly below the UK average. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may have influenced patterns: longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity could have reduced opportunities for crimes like burglary, while the early stages of tourist season might have drawn attention away from retail theft. However, the rise in other thefts and anti-social behaviour indicates ongoing challenges in managing public order. Compared to other urban areas, Rogerstone’s low crime rate aligns with its smaller population and lower levels of transient populations. The data also highlights the area’s effectiveness in maintaining safety despite its urban status, with property crimes such as shoplifting and vehicle crime remaining well below UK averages. These trends reflect a combination of local factors, including community engagement, policing strategies, and the area’s demographic makeup, all of which contribute to its comparatively low crime profile.

June 2024 saw a 150% increase in other thefts, rising from 2 to 5 incidents, a shift that may reflect heightened activity in retail or personal property areas. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 22.2%, though it remained 29% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, increased by 6.7% to 16 incidents, yet still sat 46% below the national average of 2.8 per 1,000. Shoplifting fell by 66.7% compared to May, aligning with seasonal trends as summer tourism may draw attention away from retail theft. Criminal damage and arson dropped sharply by 77.8%, suggesting a possible reduction in vandalism linked to warmer weather or community initiatives. These shifts highlight a dynamic crime profile, with property crimes like shoplifting and vehicle crime remaining well below UK averages, while violent crimes and anti-social behaviour showed modest increases.

Rogerstone’s crime rate in June 2024 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, a 30.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.5 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safer built-up regions in the UK, with its overall rate 53.7% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, a figure that reflects the relatively low volume of incidents despite its urban character. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 264 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area’s comparative safety. When scaled to the local population of 10,825, this means fewer residents are encountering crime than in regions with higher rates. The drop from May to June may align with seasonal patterns, as summer’s arrival could shift activity away from crime toward leisure or tourism, though this remains speculative without further data.
