Fremington Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Fremington's November 2023 crime rate of 0.4 per 1,000 residents places it 94.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, marking one of the safest periods in recent records. The area's crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for all 2 reported crimes—a stark contrast to the UK's broader mix of property and violent crimes. This concentration of violent offences may reflect the small population and limited public spaces in Fremington, a built-up area within North Devon's rural landscape. Seasonal factors likely influenced the crime picture: November's dark evenings, Bonfire Night celebrations, and Black Friday shopping could have created conditions conducive to isolated incidents. However, the absence of property crimes suggests that the area's low population density and its proximity to open countryside reduce opportunities for such offences. The UK's higher rates of property crime (which averaged 2.6 per 1,000 in violent categories) further highlight Fremington's unique safety profile, though the small sample size means these patterns should be interpreted cautiously. As a small built-up area, Fremington's crime trends may be more susceptible to random fluctuations than larger urban centres, making long-term comparisons essential for understanding broader patterns.

November 2023 saw a dramatic 100.0% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 1 to 2 incidents. This category alone accounted for 100% of all crimes reported, despite Fremington's overall rate being 94.7% below the UK average. The absence of property crimes in the breakdown contrasts with the UK's higher prevalence of such offences, suggesting unique local dynamics. The 85% gap between Fremington's violent crime rate (0.4 per 1,000) and the UK average (2.6 per 1,000) reinforces the area's safety profile. Residents may find the 0.4 per 1,000 rate particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a crime environment far less active than the national average. The spike in violence, though small in absolute terms, highlights the need for vigilance during November's darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night.

Fremington's crime rate in November 2023 (0.4 per 1,000 residents) marked a 50.0% decline from the previous month's rate of 0.8 per 1,000. This reduction places the area well below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, with violent crime specifically 85% below the national benchmark. On a daily basis, Fremington experienced approximately 0 crimes per day in November, reflecting a near-zero incident rate over the 30-day period. When considering monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 2,618 residents, underscoring the rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. The low crime rate, combined with the absence of property crimes, suggests that Fremington's small population and possibly its rural-adjacent location contribute to a unique crime profile. This contrast with the UK's higher rates highlights the area's distinct safety characteristics, though seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced retail activity may have played a role in sustaining low crime levels.
