Fremington Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,235, Fremington's 12 reported crimes in June 2023 equate to a crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000 residents—72.9% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's relative safety, even as June's data reveals a shift in crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences dominated the monthly breakdown, accounting for 50% of all incidents (6 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (25%, 3 cases) and criminal damage and arson (16.7%, 2 cases). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—likely contributes to these patterns. Coastal and rural areas like Fremington often experience increased foot traffic during this period, potentially influencing crime dynamics. While the overall rate remains low, the rise in violent offences may reflect local factors such as the area's built-up nature and proximity to tourist routes. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.9 per 1,000) is 59% higher than Fremington's rate, highlighting the area's resilience against violent crime. However, the increase in public order offences—now at 0.2 per 1,000, 70% below the UK average—suggests a need for vigilance in managing public spaces as summer progresses. Fremington's crime profile illustrates a balance between low overall rates and specific challenges tied to seasonal activity, requiring a nuanced understanding of local conditions to address emerging trends.

June 2023 saw significant spikes in three crime categories: violence and sexual offences (tripling from 3 to 6), criminal damage and arson (rising from 0 to 2), and public order offences (increasing from 0 to 1). This surge in violent crime, while still 59% below the UK average, reflects a marked shift in the crime mix, with violent incidents now comprising 50% of all reported crimes—a notable departure from the previous month's balance. Anti-social behaviour, however, decreased by 25%, falling from 4 to 3 incidents. The breakdown also reveals Fremington's violence rate (1.2 per 1,000) is 59% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors—such as the area's built-up character and seasonal tourism patterns—may temper broader national trends. For residents, the 100% increase in public order offences highlights a specific concern, as these incidents, though low in number, could indicate rising tensions in public spaces during the summer months.

Fremington's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 2.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 70.9% increase from the previous month's rate of 1.3 per 1,000. While this upward trend is notable, the daily crime count remains exceptionally low at 0 reported crimes per day over the 30-day period. Translating this into a monthly exposure perspective, one crime occurred for roughly every 436 residents in June—a figure that contextualises the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. Considering Fremington's population of 5,235, the crime rate remains starkly below the UK average, which stood at 8.5 per 1,000 in the same period. This contrast highlights the area's relative safety, even as local statistics show a month-on-month rise. The low daily crime count underscores the infrequency of incidents, offering reassurance to residents despite the increase in absolute numbers.
