North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 11.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 53.2% above the UK average of 7.7. This stark divergence from the national picture underscores the region’s distinct challenges in crime management. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.1% of all reported incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson (12.2%) and anti-social behaviour (9.9%). These figures align with the area’s characteristics as a mix of urban and rural communities, where higher concentrations of public spaces, retail areas, and transport hubs may contribute to elevated rates of certain crimes. The seasonal context of April—marked by the Easter holiday and the transition to spring—likely influenced patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially exacerbating issues like public order offences and theft. However, the data also reveals pockets of relative success: anti-social behaviour, for instance, was 10% below the UK average, reflecting local initiatives or community engagement efforts. Despite these nuances, the overall crime rate remains a cause for concern, particularly in light of the UK’s broader downward trend in criminal activity. The area’s elevated rates of violence and sexual offences, which are 69% above the national average, suggest a need for targeted interventions, while the significant rise in theft from the person highlights the importance of awareness campaigns and improved security measures in public spaces. As the region moves into the warmer months, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to understanding the factors driving crime and identifying effective strategies for mitigation.

April 2025 saw a 10.4% decrease in violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, dropping from 779 to 698 incidents. This reduction may be partly attributed to the Easter holiday period, which typically sees lower levels of public activity in some areas. Conversely, theft from the person surged by 50%, rising from 4 to 6 cases—a stark increase that may reflect heightened outdoor activity during spring or targeted opportunities in crowded spaces. Other crime also rose sharply by 22.8%, from 57 to 70 incidents, suggesting a broadening trend in non-specific criminal activity. North East Lincolnshire’s rate of violence and sexual offences is 69% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 10% below. These shifts highlight both localized successes and emerging concerns that warrant further attention from community leaders and law enforcement.

North East Lincolnshire’s crime rate in April 2025 fell slightly to 11.8 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% reduction from the previous month’s 12.1. While this small decline suggests some stability, the rate remains significantly higher than the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 63 crimes each day, translating to roughly one reported crime for every 85 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure underscores the persistent challenge of crime in the region, even as localized efforts may be showing incremental progress. The population context further highlights the scale: with 159,911 residents, the absolute number of crimes—1,883—reflects a concentrated impact that may be influenced by the area’s urban-rural mix and its proximity to major transport routes. These figures, while local, provide a tangible measure of risk for residents, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or commercial activity.
