Girton Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2024, Girton’s crime rate stood at 1.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure 86.9% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast reflects a community where crime is exceptionally rare, with residents facing minimal daily risk. The breakdown of incidents reveals that violence and sexual offences (50%) and anti-social behaviour (40%) were the most common categories, though both rates are significantly lower than national averages. Violence and sexual offences in Girton (0.6 per 1,000) are 79% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) is 66% below. These figures suggest that the area’s social dynamics and community engagement likely play a role in maintaining such low levels of violent and disruptive crime. The summer season, with its extended daylight and active community events, may further reduce opportunities for crime, though the 100% increase in vehicle crime hints at potential vulnerabilities tied to increased traffic or vehicle-related activities. This pattern is consistent with other low-crime areas where seasonal events draw visitors without proportionally increasing crime rates. The overall picture illustrates a community where residents can navigate daily life with a high degree of confidence in their safety, supported by both local factors and broader demographic trends.

July 2024 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 0 to 1 incident—a rare spike in an otherwise stable category. This shift may reflect increased summer traffic or events attracting vehicles to the area. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, dropped by 33.3% from June’s 6 incidents to 4, potentially linked to the summer break reducing overcrowding in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, accounting for 50% of all incidents, though this rate is 79% below the UK average (2.9 per 1,000). This disparity highlights Girton’s significantly lower risk profile for violent crime compared to the national picture. For residents, the 1.1 per 1,000 rate means a 1-in-874 chance of encountering a crime in July—a statistic that, while not zero, underscores the area’s overall safety.

In July 2024, Girton’s crime rate fell to 1.1 per 1,000 residents, a 37.7% decrease from June’s 1.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with typical summer patterns, where increased daylight and community activity may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 874 residents—a figure that, while low, illustrates the rarity of criminal activity in this area. Daily, the area saw an average of 0 crimes per day, a statistic that underscores the low baseline of incidents. When scaled to population size, the monthly exposure remains minimal, suggesting that residents face a very low risk of encountering crime in their daily lives. These figures contrast sharply with the UK average, where the equivalent rate would translate to far more frequent incidents. The combination of seasonal factors and the area’s characteristics likely contributes to this continued safety.
