Immingham Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2023, Immingham recorded 135 crimes, translating to a crime rate of 13.0 per 1,000 residents—73.3% above the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure, equivalent to 13 crimes for every 1,000 people, reflects a significant disparity compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (47 incidents, 34.8% of total), public order offences (27 incidents, 20.0%), and shoplifting (17 incidents, 12.6%). The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and the onset of spring—may have influenced these patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to public order issues and retail-related crimes. Violence and sexual offences in Immingham were 73% above the UK average, while public order offences were 306% above, suggesting a unique local challenge. The area’s industrial and coastal character, combined with its role as a commuter hub, may partly explain the elevated rates. The rise in anti-social behaviour, up 142.9% from March, could be linked to the transition from winter to spring, when community interactions intensify. Meanwhile, shoplifting’s sharp increase may reflect the Easter shopping period, though this remains a plausible explanation rather than a definitive conclusion. The crime profile underscores the need for targeted strategies to address public order and violent crime, which dominate the local landscape.

April 2023 saw dramatic increases in specific crime categories, with criminal damage and arson rising by 350% (from 2 to 9 incidents) and public order offences jumping 237.5% (from 8 to 27). These spikes suggest a shift in the crime mix, with anti-social behaviour also surging by 142.9% (from 7 to 17). Public order offences in Immingham were 306% above the UK average, highlighting a stark local challenge. Meanwhile, other theft decreased by 33.3% (from 6 to 4), the only category showing a decline. For residents, the 237.5% rise in public order offences—now accounting for 20% of all crimes—may indicate heightened tensions in community spaces or disruptions tied to seasonal activities. The data also reveals that shoplifting, at 12.6% of total crimes, was 233% above the UK average, possibly linked to retail activity during the Easter period.

Immingham’s crime rate in April 2023 rose to 13.0 per 1,000 residents, a 62.6% increase from the previous month’s rate of 8.0 per 1,000. This jump reflects a sharp rise in reported incidents, with daily crime averaging four crimes per day across 30 days. For residents, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 77 people over the course of the month, a figure that underscores the heightened frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 10,380. The increase is most pronounced in public order offences, which surged by 237.5% compared to March, and anti-social behaviour, up 142.9%. While the rate remains significantly above the UK average, the local context—such as the area’s proximity to industrial zones and coastal tourism—may partly explain the pattern. The population-scaled perspective highlights the need for targeted interventions, as the density of incidents per capita is higher than in many other parts of the UK.
