Queen's Hills Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Queen's Hills' crime profile in January 2025, accounting for 33.3% of total reported incidents. This category, at 0.4 per 1,000 residents, was 84% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000, underscoring the area's relative safety. The overall crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000, 84.5% lower than the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, reflects a pattern consistent with Queen's Hills' status as a low-crime built-up area within South Norfolk. Seasonal factors likely contributed to the low overall rate, as January typically sees reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours, which may partly explain the lower incidence of property crimes. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.2 per 1,000, and criminal damage, at 0.2 per 1,000, both fell significantly below their respective UK averages. The area's crime profile aligns with its character as a relatively quiet, low-density built-up area, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity may naturally suppress criminal activity. However, the presence of violence and sexual offences at a rate 84% below the UK average suggests that while the area is safe, targeted interventions may still be necessary to address even these lower-level incidents.

January 2025 saw notable increases in three categories: anti-social behaviour, other theft, and other crime, each rising by 100% compared to the previous month. These jumps, from zero to one incident each, highlight emerging trends in local criminal activity. While violence and sexual offences remained the most common category (33.3% of total crimes), their rate of 0.4 per 1,000 was 84% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.2 per 1,000, also fell significantly below the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000. The only category exceeding the UK rate was 'other crime,' which was 11% above the national average of 0.2 per 1,000. Residents might find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a shift in community dynamics that warrants local attention.

Queen's Hills maintained a stable crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents in January 2025, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 0.19 crimes per day across the 31-day period, a figure that translates to an extremely low frequency of incidents for residents. When viewed through a population lens, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 921 residents underscores the area's safety profile, particularly when compared to the UK average. While the overall rate remains well below national levels, the absence of a daily comparison figure means local context must be interpreted independently. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the small number of reported crimes, the impact on the community is minimal, reinforcing the area's status as a relatively low-risk environment.
