Immingham Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Immingham's overall crime rate for January 2024 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 9.5% below the UK average of 7.4. This figures as a notable improvement compared to national trends, particularly in categories such as anti-social behaviour, which were 49% below the UK average, and vehicle crime, which was 80% below the national rate. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (31 cases, 44.3% of total crimes), followed by shoplifting (8 cases, 11.4%) and public order offences (7 cases, 10.0%). These patterns may reflect the area's character as a built-up part of North East Lincolnshire, where industrial or coastal features could influence crime dynamics. The seasonal context of January—post-holiday period with reduced retail footfall and shorter days—likely contributed to lower outdoor crime rates, though it may have also exacerbated certain issues, such as public order incidents. The dominance of violent crime suggests a need for targeted interventions, though the significant reductions in vehicle and anti-social behaviour crimes indicate that some local strategies may be effective. Immingham's data underscores the importance of contextual analysis, as national averages do not always capture the nuances of specific communities. The relatively low crime rate, combined with the sharp rise in public order offences, highlights the combination of local factors and broader trends, requiring careful monitoring and tailored responses.

January 2024 saw significant fluctuations in crime types, with public order offences surging by 250% (from 2 to 7 cases), marking the largest increase in the month. Shoplifting also rose sharply, doubling from 4 to 8 incidents, while drug-related crimes jumped from 0 to 2. These increases may be linked to seasonal factors such as post-holiday social dynamics or changes in local activity patterns. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), and criminal damage and arson decreased by 33.3% (from 6 to 4). These declines could reflect improved security measures or reduced opportunities for such crimes during colder weather. Violence and sexual offences remained 15% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 49% below the national rate. This divergence highlights the complex relationship between local demographics and crime patterns, with Immingham's specific context—influenced by its coastal or industrial character—shaping the types of offences reported. Residents may find the sharp rise in public order crimes particularly concerning, as these often have direct impacts on community cohesion.

Immingham's crime rate in January 2024 rose by 16.6% compared to December 2023, increasing from 5.8 to 6.7 crimes per 1,000 residents. While this marks a slight upward trend, the area remains 9.5% below the UK average of 7.4. On a daily basis, the month saw approximately 2 crimes reported each day, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity. Over the course of January, one crime occurred for every 148 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for the local population. This rate is lower than the UK average when considering the broader population context. month-on-month increase suggests a need to monitor patterns closely. The population of 10,380 residents means that the impact of each crime is distributed across a relatively small community, which may influence perceptions of safety. Comparing this to other areas, Immingham's crime profile shows a mix of above and below-average trends, particularly in categories like public order and vehicle crime. These figures highlight the importance of localised analysis when assessing crime trends, as national averages may not fully capture the nuances of specific communities.
