Brigg Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2024, Brigg's crime rate of 8.7 per 1,000 residents placed the area 14.5% above the UK average, a figure that translates to an individual risk of roughly one in 115 residents experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. The most significant contributor to this rate was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 61.7% of all incidents and occurred at a rate of 5.4 per 1,000 – 109% above the UK average. This dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK profile, where property-related offences typically form a larger share of the crime mix. The seasonal context of November, with its combination of Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to the sharp rise in shoplifting (200% increase from October) and may have influenced patterns of public disorder. However, the area's anti-social behaviour rate (0.6 per 1,000) was 46% below the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect Brigg's relatively small, tightly-knit community structure. While the overall rate remains elevated, the breakdown shows that property crimes such as burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and theft (0.4 per 1,000) are significantly below UK averages, suggesting that local factors – including lower retail density or higher levels of community policing – may be mitigating certain types of crime.

November saw a dramatic 200% increase in shoplifting, with three incidents reported compared to one in October. This surge, though still below the UK average for the category, may reflect heightened retail activity around Black Friday. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell sharply by 77.8% (from nine to two incidents), potentially linked to the season's reduced public gatherings. Violent crime remained the dominant category, accounting for 61.7% of all reported incidents, with Brigg's rate of 5.4 per 1,000 for such offences 109% above the UK average. This stark contrast to the UK's 2.6 per 1,000 highlights a local vulnerability that warrants attention. Anti-social behaviour, however, showed a 46% deficit compared to the UK average, suggesting community dynamics that may mitigate certain types of disorder. A resident could reasonably note that while violent crime remains elevated, property-related offences such as burglary and theft are significantly lower than national averages.

Brigg's crime rate in November 2024 stood at 8.7 per 1,000 residents, a 2.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.9 per 1,000. This slight decline suggests a stabilisation in local crime trends. above the UK average. On a daily basis, Brigg experienced approximately two crimes per day in November, a figure that, while low in absolute terms, reflects the area's compact built-up character. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 115 residents, a metric that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the local population. This monthly exposure rate, while modest, underscores that no resident is entirely insulated from crime, particularly given the dominance of violent offences in the crime mix. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while Brigg's rate is higher than the UK average, the absolute number of crimes remains relatively small in a community of just over 5,000 people.
