Immingham Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Immingham's June 2023 crime rate of 7.3 per 1,000 residents marked a 14.1% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, positioning the area as one of the safer built-up regions in the country. The crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (39.5% of all incidents), followed by public order offences (15.8%) and anti-social behaviour (9.2%). This distribution suggests that interpersonal conflict and disorder remain key drivers of crime in the area, though the significant drop in violence compared to May indicates potential improvements in community safety. The seasonal context of June—the start of summer and the beginning of the tourist season—may have influenced these patterns. While longer daylight hours and increased visitor numbers could contribute to higher public order issues, the 66.7% decline in shoplifting compared to May suggests that local enforcement or seasonal retail practices may have mitigated retail crime. The area's relatively low burglary rate (2.6% of all crimes) and vehicle crime rate (15% below the UK average) may reflect its industrial character, where fewer residential properties and limited parking infrastructure could reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the sharp increase in 'other crime'—a category that encompasses a range of less defined offences—raises questions about how local policing strategies or reporting practices might be evolving. As the summer progresses, the interplay between tourism, local demographics, and crime patterns will likely continue to shape Immingham's safety profile in the coming months.

The month-on-month changes in June 2023 reveal a mixed picture of crime trends in Immingham. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 25%, from 40 to 30 incidents, marking one of the most significant drops in any category. This decline may partly explain the overall reduction in the area's crime rate compared to May. Conversely, other crime surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents, a sharp increase that warrants attention. Burglary and vehicle crime also saw 100% increases, with both rising from one to two and two to four incidents respectively. These shifts highlight a potential reallocation of criminal activity, influenced by seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic or changes in local business operations. Public order offences, which make up 15.8% of all reported crimes in June, remain 79% above the UK average—a striking discrepancy that underscores the area's distinct challenges. For residents, the 1-in-137 monthly exposure rate offers a tangible measure of local risk, though the elevated public order rate suggests a need for targeted community engagement strategies.

Immingham's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 7.3 per 1,000 residents, a 14.6% decline from the previous month's rate of 8.6 per 1,000. This reduction suggests a continued trend of improving safety in the area, though the pace of decline slowed compared to earlier months. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of three crimes per day, a figure that provides context for local residents assessing their risk. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 137 residents, a statistic that translates to a relatively low monthly exposure compared to national averages. When viewed through the lens of population size, the 10,380 residents of Immingham experienced a crime rate significantly lower than the UK average, reflecting the area's broader safety profile. However, the distribution of crime types within the local context reveals a distinct pattern: while violent crime and property crime remain key concerns, the area's unique profile—perhaps influenced by its coastal location and industrial heritage—shapes the nature of offences differently than in other parts of the country.
