The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 32.4% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.7%) and public order offences (10.3%). These figures suggest that interpersonal conflicts and disturbances in public spaces remain significant contributors to the local crime profile. Seasonal factors such as dark evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have influenced the rise in public order offences.
