Fulwood Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Fulwood during June 2024, 9.2 crimes were reported—a rate 12.2% higher than the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 109 residents, a figure that underscores the localised nature of risk in a built-up area within Preston. The most prevalent crime category was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 36.9% of all reports, followed by violence and sexual offences at 32.2%. These figures suggest that public spaces and densely populated areas may be particularly vulnerable to such incidents. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may partly explain the elevated levels of anti-social behaviour, as longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity could contribute to higher visibility of such conduct. Meanwhile, the UK average for anti-social behaviour is 1.4 per 1,000, meaning Fulwood's rate is 143% above that benchmark, a disparity that may reflect local demographic or socioeconomic factors. Violence and sexual offences in Fulwood (3.0 per 1,000) were 9% above the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000, indicating a need for targeted policing in areas where such crimes are concentrated. The drop in vehicle crime by 70% compared to May 2024 may be linked to seasonal changes, such as reduced traffic during school holidays or improved security in car parks. The overall crime profile of Fulwood in June highlights a combination of local geography, population density, and seasonal activity patterns, all of which shape the everyday risk faced by residents.

This category's dominance—36.9% of all crimes—suggests a need for targeted interventions in public spaces. Meanwhile, shoplifting fell sharply by 68% compared to the UK average, due to increased surveillance in retail areas or seasonal changes in consumer behaviour.
