Queen's Hills Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Queen's Hills recorded a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 in April 2025, placing it 71.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a consistently low-crime environment, characteristic of a built-up area within South Norfolk. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.0%) and criminal damage (16.7%). These patterns align with the area's seasonal dynamics, as April's Easter period and spring weather likely increased outdoor activity, potentially contributing to the 66.7% rise in violent crimes compared to March. Despite this increase, the overall violent crime rate remains 66% below the UK average, suggesting local factors—such as community policing or social cohesion—may mitigate broader national trends. Anti-social behaviour, though a significant portion of reported crimes, remains 62% below the UK average, indicating effective management of public order. The low rate of criminal damage and arson (0.4 per 1,000) contrasts with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, pointing to a possible absence of targeted property crime. Meanwhile, 'other crime'—a category 135% above the UK average—raises questions about unclassified incidents that may require further scrutiny. The area's crime profile, shaped by its rural-urban interface and seasonal rhythms, continues to demonstrate resilience despite occasional fluctuations.

April 2025 marked a notable rise in violent crimes, with a 66.7% increase from March to 5 reported incidents. This surge in violence and sexual offences—now at 0.9 per 1,000—remains 66% below the UK average, suggesting local factors may temper broader trends. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson doubled from 1 to 2 incidents, while 'other crime' also saw a 100% increase. These shifts reflect a move toward property-related offences, though overall violent crime still dominates the crime mix. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.5 per 1,000, continues to be 62% below the UK average, indicating effective community management of disruptive incidents. Residents may find the 0.4 per 1,000 rate for criminal damage and arson particularly noteworthy, as it aligns with seasonal patterns of increased outdoor activity during Easter. The sharp rise in 'other crime'—a category 135% above the UK average—raises questions about unclassified incidents that warrant closer examination.

Queen's Hills' crime rate in April 2025 rose 9.0% compared to March's 2.0 per 1,000.4% below the UK average.

This disparity highlights Queen's Hills' unique position as a relatively safe area, even as local crime trends show minor fluctuations.

These figures suggest that while the area is not immune to crime, its infrastructure and community dynamics likely contribute to maintaining low rates despite occasional spikes.
