Pembroke Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Pembroke’s February 2024 crime rate of 0.8 per 1,000 residents stands at 88.7% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, marking one of the lowest recorded rates in recent months. This stark deviation from national trends is most pronounced in the category of anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 83.3% of all crimes reported—far exceeding the proportion of violent offences (16.7%). The area’s crime profile reflects a combination of geographic and seasonal factors: as a built-up area within Pembrokeshire, Pembroke’s low population density and limited commercial activity likely contribute to its subdued crime levels. February, a winter month with reduced outdoor activity and pre-spring lull, further reinforces this pattern. The UK average for anti-social behaviour is 1.1 per 1,000, yet Pembroke’s rate of 0.6 per 1,000 is 43% lower, suggesting localised factors such as community cohesion or effective policing may play a role. Violent crime, at 0.1 per 1,000, is 96% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000, a gap that may be attributed to the area’s smaller population and lower levels of transient populations typically associated with higher violent crime rates. These figures underscore Pembroke’s unique position in the UK crime profile, where both anti-social and violent crime remain well below national benchmarks. The seasonal context—marked by colder weather and reduced tourism—may partly explain the subdued activity, though the consistency of low rates across months suggests deeper structural factors at play.

February 2024 saw a dramatic 87.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 8 incidents in January to just 1. This reduction, though small in absolute terms, reflects a shift in the crime mix: anti-social behaviour now dominates at 83.3% of total crimes, compared to 16.7% for violent offences. Anti-social behaviour in Pembroke is 43% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000, a disparity that may be linked to the area’s low population density and limited public spaces. Meanwhile, the 16.7% decline in anti-social behaviour from January to February suggests a temporary dip in incidents, though the category remains the most common type. For residents, the low rate of violent crime—0.1 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 2.5—offers reassurance, particularly given the winter season’s typically reduced public interaction. These figures highlight how Pembroke’s crime profile diverges from national trends, with anti-social behaviour and violence both significantly underperforming UK benchmarks.

Pembroke’s February 2024 crime rate of 0.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 68.3% drop from the previous month’s 2.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal lull typical of winter months, when outdoor activity and tourism in Pembrokeshire generally slow. Over 29 days, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day—a figure that underscores the low baseline of criminal activity in this built-up area. On a monthly scale, one reported crime occurred for every 1,320 residents, a ratio that highlights the area’s relative safety compared to broader UK trends. Population context further reinforces this: with 7,922 residents, even a single incident carries significant weight in a community of this size. The contrast with the UK average, which stands at 7.1 per 1,000, is stark, suggesting Pembroke’s crime prevention strategies or geographic isolation may play a role. However, the absence of data on local initiatives means this remains speculative. The daily crime count, while low, offers a practical metric for residents assessing their personal risk. In a region known for its coastal tourism, such figures may reflect the seasonal ebb and flow of both visitors and associated criminal opportunities.
