Corby Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a mixed picture for crime in Corby, a built-up area within North Northamptonshire. The overall crime rate of 8.6 per 1,000 residents placed the area 4.9% above the UK average, a figure that underscores the need for continued attention to local crime dynamics. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (34.6% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (18.3%) and shoplifting (11.0%). This distribution suggests a combination of factors, including the presence of high-traffic areas and potential tensions during the summer months. The start of June, with its longer days and the onset of tourism in nearby rural regions, may have influenced patterns. Violence and sexual offences, while still significant, decreased by 21.1% compared to the previous month, possibly reflecting seasonal changes in public activity or temporary shifts in policing focus. Anti-social behaviour also showed a notable presence, likely tied to the social dynamics of a built-up area. Shoplifting, which rose sharply in June, may be driven by increased retail footfall as the summer season begins. The area’s crime profile thus reflects a balance between persistent challenges and fluctuations that align with broader seasonal rhythms.

June 2024 saw notable shifts in Corby’s crime profile, with shoplifting increasing by 82.9% to 64 incidents—a significant jump from 35 in May. This surge may be linked to the start of summer, when retail activity intensifies, though no direct causal link is confirmed. Concurrently, other crime rose sharply by 112.5%, from 8 to 17 incidents, a category that includes diverse offences not easily tied to seasonal factors. In contrast, violence and sexual offences fell by 21.1%, from 256 to 202, potentially reflecting reduced public gatherings or changes in policing priorities. Drug-related crimes also rose by 54.5%, reaching 34 incidents—138% above the UK average. This stark deviation may indicate localized pressures. Residents may find the 82.9% increase in shoplifting particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a heightened need for vigilance in retail areas during the summer months.

Corby's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 8.6 per 1,000 residents, a 3.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.9. This decline, though modest, suggests a potential stabilization in local crime trends. Over the course of June, 19 crimes were reported per day on average, a figure that contextualizes the daily exposure to crime in the area. When scaled to the population of 67,876, this translates to roughly one reported crime for every 116 residents during the month. This monthly exposure metric provides a tangible sense of how crime impacts the community, though it does not account for variations in individual risk factors. The population-scaled perspective also highlights that Corby’s rate, while slightly above the UK average, remains within a manageable range for a built-up area. Comparisons to the previous month show a shift toward lower violence and sexual offences, which may reflect seasonal patterns or targeted interventions from the data alone.
