Stakeford Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Stakeford’s crime rate in June 2023 reached 10.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 21.2% above the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This marks a significant deviation from the national trend, with the area’s crime profile shaped by a mix of violent and anti-social incidents. Anti-social behaviour emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 42.1% of all crimes and far outpacing the UK average of 1.5 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences followed closely, contributing 36.8% of reported crimes, a figure 30% above the UK benchmark. The seasonal context of June—longer days and the start of summer—may have influenced patterns, with some crimes aligning with increased public activity. However, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour and violent incidents suggests a deeper issue, possibly linked to local social dynamics or environmental factors. While property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remained relatively low, their doubling from May indicates a need for further analysis. The data also reveals a surprising dip in shoplifting and public order offences, which may reflect seasonal shifts in tourism or retail activity. These trends highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing anti-social behaviour, which dominates the area’s crime profile.

June 2023 saw a dramatic surge in anti-social behaviour, with incidents rising by 128.6% from 14 to 32. This category alone accounted for 42.1% of all crimes reported, far exceeding the UK average of 1.5 per 1,000. The increase may partly explain the overall rise in the area’s crime rate. Violent crimes also rose, though less sharply, with 28 incidents recorded—36.8% of total crimes and 30% above the UK average. Vehicle crime and burglary both doubled from May, though these remain low in absolute terms. In contrast, shoplifting and public order offences fell sharply, with shoplifting dropping by 66.7% to just one incident. These decreases may reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, which could see fewer retail-focused crimes as tourists shift to outdoor activities. The stark contrast between rising anti-social behaviour and falling shoplifting highlights a complex shift in criminal activity patterns.

Stakeford's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 10.3 per 1,000 residents, a 46.2% increase from 7.0 per 1,000 in May. This marks a stark shift from the previous month’s figures, reflecting a noticeable uptick in reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the frequency of incidents over the 30-day period. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure rate reveals that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 97 residents in June. This translates to a heightened awareness for local residents, particularly when compared to the previous month’s lower rate. The increase is most pronounced in anti-social behaviour and violent crimes, which may partly explain the overall trend. While the daily crime count remains low by national standards, the sharp rise from May suggests a need for closer monitoring of local patterns.
