North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire's November 2024 crime rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents places the area 40.8% above the UK average, highlighting a stark divergence from national trends. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 40.4% of all incidents—67% above the UK rate. This is consistent with the area's seasonal dynamics, as November's dark evenings, Bonfire Night celebrations, and the tail end of Black Friday shopping likely create conditions conducive to violent crime. The high prevalence of criminal damage and arson (1.4 per 1,000, 146% above UK average) further reflects the challenges of managing public order in densely populated or commercially active areas. Anti-social behaviour, while lower than the UK average (10% below), remains a contributing factor to the overall crime picture. The data illustrates a combination of local demographics and seasonal events, with the area's industrial and retail infrastructure potentially amplifying crime risks. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in town centres and during late-night hours, as the combination of high violent crime rates and property-related offences continues to pose significant challenges for community safety.

Violence and sexual offences remain the dominant crime category, accounting for 40.4% of all incidents—67% above the UK average. This is consistent with the area's seasonal context, as dark evenings and Bonfire Night events may contribute to increased opportunities for such crimes. Criminal damage and arson also surged, with a rate 146% above the UK average, potentially linked to anti-social behaviour during late-night gatherings. While theft from the person fell by 33.3% (9 to 6), this reduction is offset by the continued high prevalence of violent crime. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high foot traffic during evening hours, given the persistent risk of violence and property crimes. The rate of vehicle crime dropped by 28.6% (84 to 60), but this remains a local concern compared to the UK average. The data underscores a need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones.

North East Lincolnshire's November 2024 crime rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 6.7% decrease from the previous month's 11.4 per 1,000. While this represents a marginal improvement, the rate remains 40.8% above the UK average. Locally, this translates to roughly 57 crimes reported per day—equivalent to one crime for every 94 residents over the course of the month. When considering the area's population of 159,911, the daily crime count highlights the persistent strain on local policing and community resources. The slight decline may reflect seasonal factors, such as the winding down of Black Friday shopping activity, but the overall trajectory remains concerning. Residents should note that while the rate has dipped slightly, the area's crime profile continues to diverge sharply from national trends, particularly in violent and property-related offences.
