Brinsworth Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Brinsworth’s crime profile in November 2023, accounting for 25.6% of all reported incidents. This category, which includes assault and sexual violence, remains 58% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment for residents compared to national trends. The area’s overall crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 is 40% below the UK average of 7.5, a significant disparity that suggests effective local policing or community measures. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, rose sharply by 166.7% from October, possibly linked to the darker evenings of November and the proximity of Bonfire Night, which can heighten tensions in communal spaces. Meanwhile, burglary remains a persistent issue, with Brinsworth’s rate at 0.7 per 1,000—106% above the UK average—potentially influenced by the area’s built-up nature and proximity to retail or commercial hubs. The seasonal context of November, with its combination of Black Friday shopping and the transition into winter, may also contribute to increased incidents of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. This data illustrates a combination of local factors and national trends, where Brinsworth’s lower crime rate contrasts with specific challenges in property crime and public disorder.

November saw a sharp 166.7% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from three to eight incidents. This spike, combined with a 100% rise in both robbery and vehicle crime, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by two-thirds, and public order offences decreased by 16.7%, indicating some areas of improvement. The burglary rate in Brinsworth remains 106% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 52% reduction in other theft categories. These figures highlight a mixed picture: while property crime persists as a concern, violent crime and anti-social behaviour have become more prominent. Residents may find the 166.7% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly notable, as it points to a need for community-focused policing strategies in high-risk areas.

On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day in November, a figure that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents in specific pockets. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 225 residents, a statistic that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. When considering the population of 8,758, this rate underscores the area’s status as a low-crime environment. increase from the previous month suggests localized pressures that may require monitoring. The daily crime count, while modest, could indicate a need for targeted interventions in areas where incidents are clustered.
