North Lincolnshire Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Lincolnshire's crime rate in January 2025 was 6.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 11.3% below the UK average of 7.1. This performance underscores the area's generally safer profile compared to the national picture, a trend consistent with its historically lower crime rates. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 46.2% of all incidents, a rate (2.9 per 1,000) that sits 16% above the UK average. This discrepancy may reflect local factors such as demographic characteristics or community dynamics that contribute to higher rates of violent crime despite the overall lower total crime rate. Public order offences (8.7% of all crimes) also exceeded the UK average by 30%, suggesting potential challenges in managing public spaces or addressing specific community issues. In contrast, anti-social behaviour rates (0.5 per 1,000) were 49% below the UK average, possibly indicating effective local policing or community engagement strategies. Seasonal factors appear to influence crime patterns, with January's post-holiday context and reduced retail footfall likely contributing to lower property crime rates compared to other months. The area's overall crime profile suggests a combination of factors, including its rural-urban mix and the impact of seasonal transitions on crime trends. While violence remains a concern, the overall rate of crime remains lower than the national average, a position that may be reinforced by local initiatives or environmental characteristics unique to North Lincolnshire.

The significant 35% reduction in shoplifting compared to the UK average may indicate successful retail security measures in the area.
