Ingleby Barwick Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Ingleby Barwick's June 2023 crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents stands 32.9% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, reflecting a relatively safe environment compared to national trends. The area's crime profile is dominated by anti-social behaviour, which accounts for 36.8% of all incidents, with a rate of 2.1 per 1,000—42% above the UK average. This outlier category highlights a specific challenge in managing public order, potentially influenced by the area's built-up character and summer-related activity. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.2 per 1,000, are 59% below the UK average, suggesting effective policing or community measures in addressing violent crime. Shoplifting, at 0.8 per 1,000, is 48% above the UK average, possibly linked to local retail hubs or seasonal shopping patterns. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to increased outdoor activity and associated crime types. However, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, indicating a generally secure environment, though targeted interventions may be necessary for categories like anti-social behaviour.

June 2023 saw a 400% surge in vehicle crime, rising from one to five incidents, a spike that may correlate with increased car usage during warmer weather. Shoplifting also rose sharply by 175%, with 22 incidents recorded compared to eight in May, potentially reflecting seasonal retail activity or targeted policing efforts. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 28.3%, from 46 to 33, a decline that could be linked to improved community engagement initiatives or seasonal factors. Anti-social behaviour remains a standout category, with a rate of 2.1 per 1,000—42% above the UK average—highlighting a persistent challenge in managing public order. These shifts underscore the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, where increases in one category may be offset by decreases in others, requiring tailored responses from local authorities.

Ingleby Barwick's crime rate in June 2023 rose 21.4% from the previous month's 4.7 per 1,000 to 5.7 per 1,000, marking a notable upward trend. This increase aligns with the summer season, which typically sees heightened activity in public spaces. Locally, 152 crimes reported over 30 days equate to an average of five crimes per day, a figure that may reflect seasonal patterns such as extended daylight hours and increased foot traffic in retail areas. When considering the population context, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 175 residents. This monthly exposure metric underscores the relative safety of the area compared to national averages, though the upward trajectory in June suggests a need for continued monitoring of local factors such as community events or changes in public behaviour during the summer months.
