The question of what specific types of violence and sexual offences are recorded in Bourne, South Kesteven, is a valid concern for residents.

It's important to understand that the 'crime rate' figure encompasses a range of offences. These include, but are not limited to, violence and sexual offences, as well as crimes against property, public order offences, and others. Specific data on the frequency of each type of violence and sexual offence (e.g., rape, assault, harassment) are not readily accessible publicly. These details are often handled with greater sensitivity and are not released in a way that could compromise ongoing investigations or identify victims.
While we cannot provide a granular list of specific offences, the lower crime rate and higher safety score indicate that Bourne generally experiences fewer incidents compared to the UK average. The overall safety score is derived from a combination of factors including crime statistics, resident perceptions, and other indicators of safety and security. It’s crucial to remember that crime statistics represent recorded incidents and may not fully reflect the entire picture of community safety. Reporting any suspicious activity remains essential, as does ongoing community engagement to support local law enforcement.
