North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire's November 2023 crime rate of 10.5 per 1,000 residents places it 40% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the national figure of 7.5 per 1,000. This disparity is driven by violent crime, which accounted for 47.1% of all incidents, with a rate of 4.9 per 1,000—89% above the UK average. The area's crime profile reflects the seasonal context of November, including the heightened activity around Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, which may have contributed to spikes in public order offences and property-related crimes. Criminal damage and arson, at 1.3 per 1,000 (12.7% of total crimes), were 120% above the UK average, suggesting persistent issues with vandalism. While anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime fell below the UK average, the overall pattern indicates a community grappling with concentrated violent and property crime. The dominance of violent offences, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or commercial activity, aligns with the area's character as a mixed urban-rural district with significant retail and industrial zones. These factors, combined with the darker evenings of late autumn, likely contribute to the elevated rates observed in November.

November 2023 saw a 61.8% increase in 'other crime' reports, rising from 34 to 55. This category, which includes non-specific or unclassified offences, now accounts for 3.3% of total crimes, a significant jump from the previous month. Concurrently, theft from the person rose by 20%, from five to six incidents, despite a general decline in property-related crimes. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson increased by 8.2%, with 212 incidents reported—120% above the UK average. These figures suggest a shift in crime patterns, with public order and non-violent property offences remaining elevated. Burglary fell by 47.3% (112 to 59), and bicycle theft dropped by 62.2% (37 to 14), potentially reflecting seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity during darker evenings. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas where 'other crime' has spiked, as this category often includes unclassified incidents that may lack clear contextual indicators.

North East Lincolnshire's crime rate in November 2023 (10.5 per 1,000 residents) represents a 13.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 12.2 per 1,000. This decline contrasts with the area's ongoing challenge of being 40% above the UK average. On a daily basis, the region experienced approximately 56 reported crimes, a figure that underscores the persistent demand on local policing resources. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure of one crime per 96 residents highlights the frequency of incidents in a community of 160,000. While this rate is lower than the previous month, it remains significantly higher than the UK average, reflecting a combination of local factors and national trends. The decrease in burglary (-47.3%) and bicycle theft (-62.2%) may partly explain the overall downward trend, though violent crime and property damage remain pressing concerns.
