Cleethorpes Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Cleethorpes’ crime rate in November 2023 reached 9.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 32% above the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This elevated rate is driven by a sharp rise in violent crimes, which accounted for 46.8% of all reported incidents, and public order offences, which were 108% above the national average. The area’s crime profile reflects the seasonal dynamics of November, with dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night likely contributing to increased anti-social behaviour and public disorder. Violence and sexual offences, at 138 cases, remain the most prevalent category, underscoring the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas such as town centres and nightlife hubs. The data also highlights a significant disparity in crime trends compared to the UK: while anti-social behaviour and shoplifting fell below the national average, violent and public order crimes far exceeded it. This divergence may be attributed to Cleethorpes’ status as a coastal resort town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where seasonal tourism and local demographics interact to shape crime patterns. The month’s data also shows a marked contrast between property-related crimes—such as burglary and vehicle crime, which fell below UK averages—and violent offences, which remain high. This imbalance suggests that local factors, such as community cohesion and policing strategies, may play a critical role in mitigating certain types of crime while others persist. As November’s darker evenings and colder weather set in, the combination of these seasonal factors and local conditions may continue to influence crime trends, requiring ongoing analysis and adaptive measures.

November 2023 saw a sharp 100% increase in robbery cases, rising from zero to two incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a worrying trend in targeted attacks. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 37.5%, with 22 reported incidents, likely linked to the darker evenings and seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, violent crimes—accounting for 46.8% of all recorded incidents—remained 78% above the UK average, with 138 cases reported. Public order offences, at 33 incidents, were 108% above the national average, a figure that may reflect the impact of Black Friday shopping and increased social gatherings. Conversely, burglary and shoplifting both declined, with burglary falling 38.9% to 11 cases and shoplifting dropping 33.3% to 12 incidents, potentially due to heightened police presence or seasonal retail strategies.

Cleethorpes’ crime rate in November 2023 stood at 9.9 per 1,000 residents, an 8.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.8 per 1,000. While this represents a slight improvement, the area remains 32% above the UK average. On a daily basis, approximately 10 crimes were reported each day in November, highlighting the persistent challenge of maintaining public safety. When scaled to the population, this means one reported crime occurred for every 101 residents over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a community of nearly 30,000. This monthly exposure rate, though not directly comparable to national figures, provides a local context for residents to gauge risk. The slight decline from October may reflect seasonal shifts, such as shorter evenings reducing opportunities for certain crimes, but the overall rate remains elevated compared to the UK average, indicating a need for continued vigilance.
