Burton Latimer Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Burton Latimer's crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents placed it 51.8% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the national profile. The per-capita perspective reveals that for every 1,000 residents, the likelihood of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than the UK average, a statistic that translates to everyday safety for local residents. Violent crimes dominated the crime profile, accounting for 59.1% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.9%) and criminal damage and arson (9.1%). This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal and property-related issues, possibly influenced by the area's built-up character and seasonal context. June, with its extended daylight hours and the onset of summer, may have altered local dynamics, though the exact relationship between seasonal factors and crime patterns remains speculative. The relatively low property crime rate—just 7 incidents compared to 26 violent crimes—contrasts with UK trends, where property crimes typically constitute a larger share. This imbalance may reflect local characteristics, such as a strong community presence or targeted policing efforts, though further data would be needed to confirm these hypotheses. The low rates of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) and public order offences (0.1 per 1,000), both well below UK averages, further reinforce the area's distinct crime profile.

June 2023 saw a stark rise in violent crimes, surging by 160% to 26 incidents, the most common category. This spike, coupled with a 300% increase in criminal damage and arson (from 1 to 4 cases), indicates a shift in the crime profile. While anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime remained below UK averages, the surge in 'other crime'—which rose by 200%—suggests emerging patterns warranting closer attention. The category's UK average is 0.1 per 1,000, yet Burton Latimer's rate of 0.3 per 1,000 highlights a local anomaly. Residents may find the 59.1% share of violent crimes particularly notable, as this category's rate of 2.4 per 1,000 is 18% below the UK average, illustrating a combination of local factors and broader trends.

Burton Latimer's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a 109.6% increase from the previous month's rate of 2.0 per 1,000. This shift, while significant, still places the area well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the local figure translates to roughly one crime per day, a low frequency that contrasts sharply with the UK's broader context. Over the course of the month, the population-scaled perspective reveals that one reported crime occurred for every 242 residents, a statistic that highlights the relatively low exposure to crime in this built-up area. This monthly aggregate underscores the importance of contextualising figures within the local demographic and geographic framework, rather than comparing them directly to national averages without considering regional disparities.
