Egglescliffe Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Egglescliffe’s crime rate in October 2024 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 37% below the UK average of 8.1. This stark contrast with national trends highlights the area’s relatively low crime profile, though the month’s data reveals shifting patterns. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.7% of all reported incidents, while violence and sexual offences (20.8%) and criminal damage and arson (11.3%) followed. These figures suggest a focus on public disorder and property-related issues, with anti-social behaviour’s rate (1.9 per 1,000) 47% above the UK average. This anomaly may reflect local factors such as community dynamics or seasonal influences, as October’s shorter evenings and Halloween could contribute to increased anti-social activity. Conversely, violent crime in Egglescliffe remains significantly lower than the UK average, with 1.1 per 1,000 compared to the national 2.7. This aligns with the area’s likely characteristics as a smaller built-up area within Stockton-on-Tees, where community cohesion and lower population density may reduce violent incidents. The seasonal context of October—clocks going back, darker evenings, and Halloween—could also explain fluctuations, such as the sharp drop in shoplifting (83.3% decrease), which may be linked to reduced foot traffic or targeted policing efforts. While the overall crime rate remains low, the data underscores the need for continued monitoring of anti-social behaviour and its potential links to local conditions.

October 2024 saw a dramatic 900% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 20 incidents. This spike, which accounted for 37.7% of all crimes, contrasts sharply with an 83.3% drop in shoplifting, which fell from 6 to 1. The shift in crime mix reflects a move towards public disorder offences, with anti-social behaviour now outpacing violent crimes (11 incidents) and property crimes (13 incidents). This category’s rate of 1.9 per 1,000 is 47% above the UK average, suggesting a unique local challenge. Meanwhile, violent crimes, at 1.1 per 1,000, are 59% below the UK average, consistent with Egglescliffe’s generally lower violent crime profile. The decrease in shoplifting may be linked to Halloween and shorter evenings. Residents may find the 900% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly concerning, as it now constitutes nearly 40% of all reported crimes.

Egglescliffe's crime rate in October 2024 rose by 60.5% compared to the previous month, moving from 3.2 to 5.1 crimes per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area still maintains a crime rate 37% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day in October, a figure that, while low, reflects the local context of a built-up area within Stockton-on-Tees. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 195 residents, illustrating a relatively low monthly exposure compared to national trends. This statistic, when contextualised against Egglescliffe's population of 10,349, suggests that the community faces fewer crime incidents per capita than the UK average. However, the month-on-month rise highlights the need to monitor short-term fluctuations, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour, which saw a 900% increase. The comparison underscores that while Egglescliffe remains safer than the national picture, local dynamics can drive sudden changes in crime patterns.
