Immingham Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2025, Immingham's crime rate stood at 8.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 14.1% above the UK average of 7.8. This rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 3 crimes per day for the built-up area's 10,380 residents. The most significant portion of crimes—39.1%—fell under violence and sexual offences, with 36 reported incidents alone. This category alone exceeded the UK average by 28%, highlighting a stark contrast with national trends. Anti-social behaviour (13 incidents) and public order offences (10 incidents) followed, though the latter was 82% above the UK average. Seasonal factors may influence these patterns: as March transitions to spring, the lengthening evenings could encourage more outdoor activity, increasing opportunities for violent and public order crimes. The area's industrial character, with a mix of residential and commercial zones, may contribute to the prevalence of anti-social behaviour and public order issues, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or late-night services. Meanwhile, property crimes remained relatively low compared to violent offences, with vehicle crime and other thefts showing mixed trends. The overall picture suggests a need for targeted community engagement and policing strategies to address the overrepresentation of violent crimes in Immingham compared to the UK average.

March 2025 saw sharp increases in several crime categories, with 'Other crime' surging by 400% (from 1 to 5 incidents) and shoplifting rising 300% (from 1 to 4). These spikes contrast with a 44.4% drop in other thefts, which fell from 9 to 5. The surge in 'Other crime'—a broad category encompassing non-specific offences—may reflect underreporting or changes in policing focus. Public order offences, at 10 incidents, were 82% above the UK average, suggesting local factors such as community tensions or enforcement priorities. Vehicle crime also rose by 133.3% (from 3 to 7), potentially linked to seasonal changes in vehicle usage or parking patterns. Meanwhile, shoplifting's 41% deficit compared to the UK average (0.4 vs 0.7 per 1,000) may indicate effective retail security measures or lower foot traffic during the month. The volatility in 'Other crime' and shoplifting highlights the need for granular analysis to identify underlying causes, whether environmental, economic, or enforcement-related.

Immingham's crime rate in March 2025 (8.9 per 1,000) marked a 12.2% increase from February's 7.9 per 1,000, reflecting a growing concern for residents. This rise translates to a monthly exposure rate of 1 in 113 residents experiencing a reported crime, a figure that underscores the tangible impact of these statistics on daily life. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 3 crimes reported, a localised measure that does not compare to national daily figures. The population context reveals that for every 1,000 residents, Immingham faces 1.1 more violent crimes than the UK average, a disparity that may be influenced by the area's unique social and economic dynamics. While the overall rate remains elevated, the shift in crime types—from property to violent—suggests evolving challenges for local authorities. This comparison highlights the importance of tailored interventions, as the 82% excess in public order offences and the 28% excess in violence and sexual offences point to specific vulnerabilities that differ from the national profile. For residents, these figures translate to a heightened awareness of personal safety and a need for community-driven solutions to address the disproportionate burden of certain crime types.
