Clevedon Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Clevedon’s crime profile in June 2024 reveals a marked dominance of violent crimes over property-related incidents, a pattern that diverges from the UK average. With 46 out of 94 total crimes falling under violence and sexual offences, this category accounted for nearly half of all reported incidents. The area’s overall crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents—46.3% below the UK average—suggests a broader context of relative safety, though the composition of crimes within that rate is distinctive. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences followed, contributing 18.1% and 9.6% respectively, while property crimes collectively made up just 23.4% of the total. This imbalance may reflect Clevedon’s character as a coastal built-up area, where public spaces and tourism-related activity could amplify interpersonal conflicts. Seasonal factors further shape these trends: the start of summer typically brings increased foot traffic to coastal towns, correlating with higher rates of violent incidents in public areas. However, the UK average for violent crimes (2.8 per 1,000) remains higher than Clevedon’s 2.1 per 1,000, indicating that local conditions—such as community policing efforts, demographic composition, or environmental design—may play a role in moderating these crimes. The data also shows that property crimes, while fewer in number, are concentrated in specific categories. Other theft and vehicle crime, for example, saw significant month-on-month increases, tied to summer travel patterns or changes in retail activity. These fluctuations underscore the need for ongoing analysis to understand how seasonal and local factors interact to shape crime trends.

June 2024 saw a stark shift in crime patterns, with violent crimes accounting for 48.9% of all reported incidents—over double the share of property crimes. This imbalance, while below the UK average for violent offences (2.8 per 1,000 vs 2.1 per 1,000 in Clevedon), highlights a local trend toward interpersonal crime that may reflect seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic in public spaces. Among the most dramatic changes were the 400% surge in vehicle crime, likely linked to summer travel, and the 250% rise in other thefts, which could indicate heightened opportunities in retail areas. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 75% compared to May, due to improved security measures or altered consumer behavior. Clevedon’s violent crime rate remains 24% below the UK average, suggesting that local policing or community dynamics may contribute to this divergence.

Clevedon’s crime rate in June 2024 stood at 4.4 per 1,000 residents, an 11.4% decrease from the previous month’s 4.9. This decline aligns with the start of summer, when tourism typically accelerates in coastal areas, potentially shifting activity patterns that may influence crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 3 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, reflects the local context of a built-up area within North Somerset. When scaled to the population of 21,609, this translates to one reported crime for every 230 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, though direct comparisons to national daily or monthly figures are not available. The population-scaled perspective underscores that Clevedon remains a relatively low-crime environment, with the majority of residents experiencing minimal direct exposure to crime in June.
