Earls Barton Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

November 2024 presented a marked improvement in crime trends for Earls Barton, with an overall crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 73.7% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a sustained decline in criminal activity, though whether this is attributable to specific interventions or broader seasonal factors. The breakdown of crimes reveals that anti-social behaviour was the most prevalent category, accounting for 38.5% of all reported incidents, followed by violence and sexual offences (30.8%) and public order offences (23.1%). Both anti-social behaviour and violence rates remain significantly below UK averages, with the former 28% lower and the latter 77% lower. These figures may be influenced by the area’s built-up nature, where community engagement and local policing could contribute to reduced incidents. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended periods of darkness—may have played a role in shaping crime patterns, though the data does not provide conclusive evidence. The low overall crime rate and the stark contrast to the UK average suggest that Earls Barton is experiencing a period of relative stability, though vigilance remains necessary during high-risk periods.

November 2024 saw a dramatic 71.4% reduction in violent and sexual offences, with the count dropping from 14 in October to 4. This decrease aligns with the broader trend of falling crime rates. Conversely, public order offences rose by 50%, increasing from 2 to 3 incidents, and other crime types surged by 100%, with one reported incident in the month. While public order offences remain 2% below the UK average, the spike in 'other crime'—which is 18% above the UK average—suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour, the most common crime, remained 28% below the UK average at 0.8 per 1,000 residents. These fluctuations may reflect seasonal factors, such as the impact of dark evenings and Bonfire Night.

November 2024 marked a significant decline in crime rates compared to the previous month, with the overall crime rate dropping by 51.9% to 2.0 per 1,000 residents. This reduction is stark when contrasted with the 4.2 per 1,000 rate recorded in October 2024, reflecting a sustained improvement in public safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 0 reported crimes per day over the month, a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents in Earls Barton. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 490 residents, a statistic that highlights the relatively low risk of encountering crime in this built-up area. Given the population of 6,375 residents, this translates to a manageable level of risk, though whether this is due to community initiatives or seasonal factors. The low daily crime count, combined with the monthly exposure figure, suggests that residents are likely to experience a tranquil environment, though vigilance remains important during peak times like Bonfire Night.
