Pembroke Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Pembroke's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 0.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 89.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's consistently low crime profile, which has long been a hallmark of built-up areas within Pembrokeshire. The single most common crime category was anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 100.0% of all reported incidents. While this category remains 34% below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000, its 500% month-on-month increase from 1 to 6 cases highlights a significant shift in the crime profile. Seasonal factors, including the Easter period and spring weather, likely contributed to the uptick in anti-social behaviour, as increased outdoor activity and tourism can drive such incidents. The area's low population density and rural character may also play a role in maintaining overall crime rates at such a low level. The dominance of anti-social behaviour over other crime types in April suggests that community-focused initiatives targeting public order may be particularly relevant for residents. Despite the rise in this category, Pembroke's crime rate remains exceptionally low compared to the UK, reflecting the area's broader safety profile. This data aligns with patterns seen in similar small towns, where crime tends to be concentrated in specific categories rather than spreading across multiple types.

The most striking shift in April 2024 was the 500.0% increase in anti-social behaviour, which rose from 1 to 6 reported incidents. This category now accounts for 100.0% of all crimes in the area, significantly below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000 (34% below). The dominance of anti-social behaviour over other crime types contrasts with the broader UK trend, where property crimes often form a larger share. Residents should be aware that this category, though low in absolute terms, represents a substantial month-on-month jump. The overall crime rate for Pembroke remains exceptionally low, with 0.8 per 1,000 compared to the UK's 7.7, but the surge in anti-social behaviour suggests a need for vigilance in public spaces. This shift may be linked to seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic during Easter and spring activities.
