Bingham Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham’s crime rate in November 2023 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 49.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure, while relatively low, masks significant fluctuations in specific crime categories that reflect both local and seasonal dynamics. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 42.1% of all incidents, followed by vehicle crime (18.4%) and anti-social behaviour (15.8%). The prominence of violent crime may be partly explained by the area’s built-up character, where higher population density and social interactions could contribute to such incidents. November’s darker evenings, coupled with events like Bonfire Night and the start of the Christmas shopping season, likely amplified opportunities for crime, particularly in public spaces. However, the sharp increase in vehicle crime — which rose from one to seven incidents — stands out as a critical concern. This surge, though still below the UK average, may be linked to increased traffic during Black Friday sales or vulnerabilities in local parking infrastructure. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour decreased by 40% compared to October, suggesting that community initiatives or seasonal patterns may have temporarily dampened such activity. The overall low crime rate, combined with these localized spikes, underscores the need for targeted awareness and vigilance, particularly around vehicle security and public safety during high-traffic periods.

November 2023 saw a dramatic 600% increase in vehicle crime, rising from one reported incident in October to seven in November. This spike, while still below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, highlights a concerning trend that could be linked to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping and increased vehicle movement during darker evenings. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences rose by 33.3%, from 12 to 16 incidents, though this remains 38% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Residents should be particularly alert to this increase, which may reflect heightened social activity during the month. In contrast, anti-social behaviour fell by 40%, dropping from 10 to 6 incidents, a decline that aligns with the area’s generally lower rates compared to the UK. Vehicle crime’s 40% excess over the UK average suggests a local vulnerability that warrants targeted awareness, especially in areas with high vehicle density or parking activity.

Bingham's crime rate in November 2023 remained stable compared to the previous month, maintaining at 3.8 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant short-term shifts in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for ongoing vigilance. Over the course of the month, the crime rate translated to one reported incident for roughly every 267 residents, a metric that contextualizes the scale of incidents relative to the population. With a total population of 10,128, this means the community collectively faced a manageable but not negligible level of exposure. The stability in the overall rate contrasts with specific category fluctuations, such as the sharp rise in vehicle crime, which highlights the importance of monitoring subcategory trends even when broad metrics remain unchanged. These figures provide a snapshot of Bingham’s crime profile, offering residents a clear understanding of their monthly risk profile.
