Shiremoor Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Shiremoor, 6.8 crimes were reported in June 2023, placing the area 20% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of approximately 2 crimes per day for the built-up area within North Tyneside. While the overall rate remains lower than the UK average, the crime profile reveals a distinct pattern: violence and sexual offences (24 cases) constituted 43.6% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17 cases) at 30.9%. These figures suggest a community where interpersonal conflicts and disruptive behaviour are more prevalent than property-related crimes. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to increased public visibility of such incidents. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Shiremoor (3.0 per 1,000) is marginally above the UK average (2.9 per 1,000), while anti-social behaviour is 42% higher than the UK average. This contrast with other categories, such as criminal damage and arson (38% below UK average), highlights the area's unique crime dynamics. The low rate of burglary (0.1 per 1,000) and other property crimes suggests that local security measures or community characteristics may be effectively mitigating such risks. However, the relatively high proportion of violent crimes raises questions about the factors influencing interpersonal safety in this part of North Tyneside.

June 2023 saw notable shifts in Shiremoor's crime profile. Burglary and drug-related crimes both doubled from zero to one and three cases respectively, marking a 100% increase in each category. This surge in drug offences—now 0.4 per 1,000 residents, 90% above the UK average—may reflect seasonal changes in illicit activity patterns. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained the second most common category, with 17 incidents (30.9% of total crimes), a figure 42% above the UK average. The decrease in shoplifting (-50%) and other theft (-80%) suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal factors may have had an impact. A significant 70% reduction in criminal damage and arson (from 10 to 3 cases) contrasts sharply with the UK average, which remains 38% above Shiremoor's rate. The month-on-month decline in overall crime (15.4% drop from 8.0 to 6.8 per 1,000) indicates a positive trend. (22 to 24 cases). For residents, the 24 reported violence and sexual offences in a population of 8,084 means that one in every 337 residents experienced such an incident in June, a figure that may warrant attention from local authorities.

Compared to the previous month, Shiremoor's crime rate fell by 15.4% from 8.0 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents in June 2023, a decline that aligns with the seasonal transition into summer. This reduction is reflected in the daily crime count: 55 total crimes over 30 days equate to roughly 2 crimes per day, a figure that is likely influenced by the area's built-up nature and population density. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for every 147 residents in June—a rate that is 20% below the UK average but still provides context for residents considering their personal risk. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is lower than the national average, specific categories like anti-social behaviour and drug offences remain high. For instance, the 17 incidents of anti-social behaviour in June mean that one in every 475 residents was directly affected by such behaviour. These statistics, when viewed alongside the 15.4% month-on-month reduction, suggest that local factors—such as community engagement or seasonal changes in activity—may be playing a role in shaping the area's crime profile. However, the continued prevalence of violent crimes and anti-social behaviour indicates that targeted efforts may still be necessary to address these specific challenges.
