Egglescliffe Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Egglescliffe recorded a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 32.9% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This figure translates to a per-capita risk of roughly one crime for every 175 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that contextualises the area’s safety in everyday terms. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (37.3% of total), followed by public order (18.6%) and anti-social behaviour (11.9%). These patterns may reflect the area’s character as a built-up district within Stockton-on-Tees, where community interactions and public spaces could influence crime dynamics. The rise in violence and sexual offences, though significant, remains below the UK average, suggesting local factors may mitigate broader national trends. Public order offences, however, surged by 120% compared to May, linked to summer-related activities or increased visibility of enforcement. Seasonal context adds nuance: as June marks the start of summer, the longer days and emerging tourism in nearby coastal areas may contribute to shifts in crime distribution. While property crimes like burglary and vehicle crime remained low, the dominance of violent and public order offences highlights the need for targeted strategies in high-traffic zones or community hubs. This data underscores that, despite the overall safety of the area, certain categories require attention, particularly as seasonal patterns evolve.

June saw a 120% increase in public order offences, rising from 5 to 11 cases, a spike that may correlate with summer-related gatherings or heightened community interactions. Violence and sexual offences also doubled, from 10 to 22 incidents, though this category remains 28% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, conversely, dropped by 63.2% to 7 cases, potentially reflecting targeted interventions or seasonal changes in community behaviour. Shoplifting fell by 50% to 3 incidents, suggesting effective retail security measures or reduced foot traffic during early summer. Other crime rose by 100% to 3 cases, a category that is 100% above the UK average, indicating a need for closer scrutiny of unclassified offences. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of local crime, where specific categories may surge or decline independently of overall trends.

Egglescliffe’s crime rate in June 2023 rose by 11.3% compared to May, moving from 5.1 to 5.7 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects shifts in crime patterns that may align with seasonal transitions. Locally, this translates to roughly 2 crimes reported each day, a figure that captures the area’s ongoing security landscape without overemphasising daily fluctuations. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 175 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises risk in terms of population density. While this is lower than the UK average, the rise from May suggests a need for vigilance during summer months, when foot traffic and outdoor activity may influence crime dynamics. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the increase, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, with crime rates 32.9% below national levels. This contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives, though further data would be needed to confirm direct links.
