Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Llanharan and Brynna, 5.8 crimes were reported in April 2024, a rate 24.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly two crimes per day across the built-up area’s population of 7,907. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 43.5% of all crimes, with 20 incidents reported, while public order offences (11 cases) made up 23.9%. These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of April, when Easter activities and spring weather increase foot traffic in local areas. The higher proportion of violent crimes compared to property crimes may reflect the area’s character as a mixed-use community with a focus on residential and small-scale commercial activity. Public order offences, though lower in absolute terms than the UK average for most categories, were 164% higher than the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This could be linked to the timing of Easter events, which may draw larger crowds to public spaces, increasing disputes or disorder. The lower rate of property crimes—only 8 cases—suggests a possible balance between local economic factors and community engagement efforts. Seasonal transitions, such as the shift from winter to spring, may also influence crime patterns, with more outdoor activity exposing residents to different risks. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the specific distribution of crime types highlights the need for targeted local strategies, particularly in managing public order during periods of increased communal activity.

April 2024 saw a significant 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge may partly explain the elevated public order figures, which were 164% above the UK average. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 35.5%, dropping from 31 to 20 cases—a shift that could reflect the impact of Easter-related community events or seasonal changes in social dynamics. The crime mix also shifted: violent crimes now constitute 43.5% of all incidents, compared to 23.9% for public order offences, indicating a more pronounced focus on interpersonal crime than property-related issues. This contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. Drug-related offences were 50% below the UK average, and vehicle crime was 79% below, suggesting that the area’s infrastructure or demographics may reduce opportunities for such crimes. For residents, the daily crime count of two incidents provides a tangible benchmark for understanding local risk, though this figure should be contextualised within the broader trend of lower overall rates compared to national averages.

The crime rate in April 2024 (5.8 per 1,000) represents a 24.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.7 per 1,000, a drop that aligns with the seasonal transition into spring, which often sees reduced criminal activity in some areas. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 172 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average, which is not provided here. This statistic offers a practical perspective for residents: the likelihood of experiencing a crime in Llanharan and Brynna is lower than in many comparable areas. The daily crime context—2 incidents per day—suggests that while crime is not absent, it remains relatively infrequent compared to urban centres. This pattern may reflect the area’s smaller population and potentially lower density of commercial or high-risk zones. The comparison with the previous month also highlights the volatility of crime rates in specific categories: for example, anti-social behaviour surged by 150%, while violence and sexual offences declined sharply. These fluctuations underscore the importance of viewing crime data through a lens that accounts for both local conditions and broader seasonal influences, rather than isolated figures.
