Ingleby Barwick Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

November 2024 presented a mixed picture for Ingleby Barwick's crime profile, with some categories showing stark shifts while others remained stable. The overall crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents placed the area 63.2% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, a consistent trend that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community resilience. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.8% of all reported incidents—though this figure remained significantly below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Public order offences, however, stood out as an anomaly, with a 350% increase from October to November, likely tied to seasonal events such as Bonfire Night or the darker evenings typical of late autumn. Anti-social behaviour also saw a 60% drop, potentially reflecting the impact of local initiatives or the natural ebb of transient disturbances. The broader context of November, with its focus on Black Friday shopping and the transition into colder weather, may have influenced patterns of activity. The area's relatively low crime rate, despite these fluctuations, suggests a stable environment where community engagement and infrastructure may play a role in deterring more severe offences.

November 2024 saw dramatic fluctuations in specific crime categories, with public order offences rising by 350% (from 2 to 9) and other crime increasing by 300% (from 1 to 4). These jumps contrast sharply with the 70% decline in shoplifting (from 10 to 3), suggesting shifting priorities or environmental factors influencing criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 37.8% of all crimes, yet still stood 57% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 60%, from 20 to 8, possibly reflecting the impact of seasonal events like Bonfire Night or local community initiatives. Burglary and vehicle crime both increased, albeit modestly, with burglary rising by 33.3% and vehicle crime remaining stable. These changes illustrate the dynamic nature of crime in the area, where localised spikes may be influenced by transient factors such as weather, lighting conditions, or temporary gatherings.

Ingleby Barwick's crime rate in November 2024 (2.8 per 1,000 residents) marked a 9.7% decrease from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. This rate is 63.2% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, underscoring the area's relatively low crime profile compared to the national context. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported over the 30-day period, equating to roughly one crime every 359 residents over the month. This monthly exposure figure suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime remains low for residents, though localised spikes in specific categories warrant closer attention. The population context further highlights the scale: with 26,556 residents, the total of 74 reported crimes translates to a manageable burden on local policing and community resources. These figures align with the area's character as a built-up zone within Stockton-on-Tees, where infrastructure and community engagement likely contribute to maintaining lower crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.
