Ingleby Barwick’s crime rate in July 2025 remained 53.5% below the UK average, with 4.0 crimes per 1,000 residents.

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 43.8% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (19.1%) and criminal damage and arson (8.6%). These figures reflect the built-up area’s character, where community interactions and public spaces may drive certain types of crime. The summer months, marked by festivals, school holidays, and increased tourism, likely contributed to the mix of crime types observed. For instance, the prevalence of violence and anti-social behaviour could be linked to higher foot traffic in local areas, while the low rates of property crimes such as burglary (0.1 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) suggest effective local deterrents or lower exposure to risks typically associated with urban centres. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 3.0 per 1,000, yet Ingleby Barwick’s rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 44% below, a gap that may be attributed to targeted policing or community initiatives. Seasonal factors, such as the timing of festivals and the absence of school holidays, may have influenced the distribution of crimes, though the overall rate remains a marked improvement over the national average.

July 2025 saw significant declines in anti-social behaviour, which fell by 35.5% from 31 to 20 incidents, and shoplifting, which dropped by 20% to 8 cases.

For instance, vehicle crime in Ingleby Barwick stood at 0.1 per 1,000 residents, 74% below the national rate of 0.4 per 1,000. This mix of decreases and increases underscores the combination of local factors, such as community engagement during festivals and the challenges of managing short-term spikes in specific crime types.
