Raunds Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Raunds' crime rate in November 2023 stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 36% below the UK average of 7.5. This figure reflects a consistent pattern of lower-than-national-level crime, particularly in violent and property-related categories. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.4% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (19.2%) and criminal damage and arson (17.0%). While these rates remain below the UK average for most categories, criminal damage and arson in Raunds exceeded the national average by 36%, suggesting a localised trend that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night. The month also saw a 24% reduction in violence and sexual offences compared to October, potentially linked to the quieter period following the end of the festive shopping season and reduced public gatherings. However, the 300% increase in public order offences highlights a sharp shift in the nature of reported incidents, which may be connected to the increased visibility of community events or changes in local enforcement patterns. The overall crime profile for Raunds in November illustrates a balance between sustained low levels of violence and property crime, and a notable rise in public order issues, which may require targeted interventions in the coming months.

November saw a marked decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 24% from 25 to 19 incidents. This decline may partly explain the overall rate remaining well below the UK average. Conversely, public order offences surged by 300%, rising from one to four incidents, indicating a potential shift in the nature of reported crimes. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common category, though it still fell 14% below the UK average. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, dropped by 33.3%, aligning with a broader trend of reduced property-related incidents. For residents, the 4.8 crime rate per 1,000 residents provides a clear benchmark for understanding local safety compared to national figures. The 36% gap between Raunds and the UK average highlights the area's continued performance as a relatively low-crime location, despite the slight month-on-month increase.

Raunds' crime rate in November 2023 rose slightly from 4.6 to 4.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a 4.4% increase compared to the previous month. While this reflects a minor upward trend, the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 2 incidents per day over the month, a figure that may help residents contextualise the frequency of reported crimes in their daily lives. When scaled to the population, one crime occurred for every 210 residents over the course of November. This monthly exposure metric underscores the relatively low level of criminal activity in the area, even as the rate shows a slight rise. The population context further illustrates that, despite the 4.4% increase, Raunds continues to experience fewer crimes per capita than the UK average, suggesting that broader regional factors may influence the local crime profile differently.
