Chiswell Green Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 6,029, the 23 crimes reported in Chiswell Green during November 2023 equate to one crime for every 262 residents over the course of the month. This translates to a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 49.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. The distribution of crimes reveals a relatively even split between property and violent offences, with violence and sexual offences comprising 30.4% of the total (7 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (26.1%, 6 cases). Seasonal factors in November—such as the darkness of evenings, the timing of Bonfire Night, and the Black Friday shopping period—likely contribute to the mix of crimes observed. The area’s crime profile aligns with that of a built-up residential neighbourhood, where community-focused policing and local initiatives may help sustain lower rates compared to larger urban centres. The relatively low prevalence of shoplifting (4.4% of total crimes) suggests that the area’s retail environment may be less targeted than in more densely populated or tourist-heavy regions. This data illustrates a pattern consistent with smaller, stable communities where crime remains infrequent but not absent, requiring ongoing attention to local conditions.

November 2023 saw notable increases in specific crime categories compared to October. Shoplifting rose by 100% (from 0 to 1 case), public order offences doubled (from 0 to 3), and other theft increased by 50% (from 2 to 3). These shifts suggest a change in criminal activity, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as the timing of Bonfire Night or the post-Black Friday shopping period. Violence and sexual offences, while remaining the most common category, were 54% below the UK average (1.2 per 1,000 vs 2.6 per 1,000), indicating that the area’s approach to addressing violent crime may be more effective than the national average. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.0 per 1,000, was 5% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000, suggesting that community engagement efforts in Chiswell Green may be helping to mitigate such incidents. These figures provide a concrete snapshot for residents: while the overall crime rate is low, targeted vigilance during periods of increased public activity—such as Bonfire Night—may be necessary to maintain this trend.

The crime rate in Chiswell Green for November 2023 (3.8 per 1,000) represents a 43.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.7 per 1,000. This rise, while notable, still keeps the area well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the 23 crimes reported over November equate to roughly one crime per day in Chiswell Green—a figure that, while not negligible, underscores the area’s relatively low level of criminal activity compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure rate of one crime per 262 residents highlights that most residents are unlikely to be directly affected by crime in any given month. This context is particularly relevant for those considering relocation or investment in the area, as it suggests a stable, low-crime environment. However, the month-on-month increase—particularly in shoplifting and public order offences—indicates that local conditions or events may have temporarily influenced crime patterns. Residents and local authorities should monitor these trends closely, as even small fluctuations in crime rates can signal shifts in community dynamics or the effectiveness of policing strategies.
