Barton-upon-Humber Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Barton-upon-Humber’s June 2024 crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents stands 20.7% below the UK average of 8.2, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of reported crimes (39.7%), followed by shoplifting (14.1%) and public order offences (9.0%). This distribution suggests that interpersonal crime remains a dominant concern, though the rate for violence and sexual offences is 6% below the UK average. The area’s seasonal context—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to reduced crime, as increased visibility and community activity can deter criminal activity. However, shoplifting rates in Barton-upon-Humber are 45% higher than the UK average, a discrepancy that could be attributed to local retail dynamics or tourism-related foot traffic during the early summer months. The overall crime picture illustrates a balance between persistent challenges in violent crime and areas where local conditions may offer some protective factors against property crime. This data highlights the importance of context-specific analysis, as national averages may not fully capture the nuances of a built-up area within a rural county.

June 2024 saw sharp increases in burglary (+400%), robbery (+100%), and other theft (+100%) compared to May, with burglary rising from 1 to 5 incidents. These spikes may be linked to summer-related factors, such as open windows or increased foot traffic in residential areas. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped 50% (from 4 to 2), reflecting reduced car usage during warmer weather or improved parking security. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 42.6%, from 54 to 31, a decline that contrasts with the UK average for this category (2.8 per 1,000). Shoplifting in Barton-upon-Humber was 45% above the UK average (0.6 vs 0.9 per 1,000), a figure that may reflect the area’s retail presence or seasonal shopping patterns. For residents, the 100% increase in robbery—a crime type that is 100% above the UK average—highlights a specific concern that warrants attention.

Barton-upon-Humber’s crime rate in June 2024 dropped 23.5% from 8.5 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a notable decline compared to May. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the area typically experiences lower crime rates during the summer months due to increased daylight and community activity. On a daily basis, 3 crimes were reported over 30 days, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to national averages.
