Cringleford Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Cringleford’s crime rate in June 2023 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 47.1% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This figure, while lower than national trends, reflects a significant 234.1% increase from May’s rate of 1.4 per 1,000. The most prevalent crime category was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 40% of all reported incidents (12 cases), followed by violence and sexual offences (26.7%, eight cases) and drug-related crimes (13.3%, four cases). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced patterns, though no direct causal link is evident in the data. Anti-social behaviour, though higher than the UK average for this category (1.8 vs 1.5 per 1,000), contrasts with significantly lower rates of violence and sexual offences (59% below UK average) and criminal damage and arson (53% below UK average). These discrepancies may reflect local characteristics, such as the built-up nature of Cringleford, which could foster community interactions that reduce violent crime but increase low-level disputes. The area’s low overall crime rate, combined with its specific patterns, suggests a unique local dynamic that warrants further analysis.

June 2023 saw a dramatic 300% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from one to four incidents. This surge, coupled with a 166.7% rise in violence and sexual offences (from three to eight), signals a notable shift in the crime mix. Anti-social behaviour, though 22% above the UK average (1.8 vs 1.5 per 1,000), remained the most common category (40% of total crimes), while violence and sexual offences fell 59% below the UK average (1.2 vs 2.9 per 1,000). Criminal damage and arson decreased by 33.3%, from three to two incidents, a trend that may reflect seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity in early summer. Residents may find the 100% increase in 'other crime' (from zero to two incidents) particularly concerning, as it indicates previously unreported categories gaining prominence.

Cringleford's crime rate in June 2023 rose sharply to 4.5 per 1,000 residents, a 234.1% increase from the previous month's rate of 1.4 per 1,000. This jump, while significant, remains 47.1% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly one reported crime per day during June, a figure that may partly explain heightened community awareness. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 222 residents, a rate that, while low compared to national trends, reflects a sudden shift in local patterns. The population of 6,648 residents means that even small changes in crime numbers have measurable impacts on daily life. This increase contrasts with the previous month’s lower rate, suggesting a possible seasonal or situational factor influencing June’s figures, though no specific cause is indicated in the data.
