Moor Park Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents—47.1% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This figure places the area significantly among the safer parts of the UK. Violence and sexual offences (9 incidents) and vehicle crime (9 incidents) were the most common categories, each accounting for 34.6% of total crimes. These rates, however, contrast with the UK averages: violence and sexual offences in Moor Park were 49% below the national figure, while vehicle crime was 219% above. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may influence these trends. Longer daylight hours and the onset of holiday activity could contribute to increased vehicle-related incidents. The area's built-up nature within Three Rivers suggests that proximity to amenities and transport links may influence crime patterns from the data alone. The breakdown shows that property crimes (13 incidents) made up 50% of the total, with vehicle crime accounting for a significant portion of this category. This highlights the need for targeted awareness around vehicle-related offences, which have exceeded the UK average by more than double. Meanwhile, the sharp increase in anti-social behaviour (from 1 to 3 incidents) raises questions about community dynamics or enforcement focus. The overall crime rate, while low, indicates that specific categories require closer attention from residents and local authorities.

June 2023 saw a 125% increase in vehicle crime, with 9 incidents reported—219% above the UK average for this category. This surge may be linked to increased traffic or seasonal activity in the area, though no direct causal link is confirmed. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 200%, jumping from 1 to 3 incidents, suggesting potential changes in community dynamics or enforcement focus. Meanwhile, burglary fell by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, offering a rare positive trend. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type (34.6% of total incidents), but their rate (1.5 per 1,000) was 49% below the UK average. Residents should be particularly vigilant around vehicle-related incidents, which have surged to an unusual level for the area. The breakdown of crimes shows a shift in the crime mix, with property crimes accounting for 50% of the total (13 incidents), while violent crimes made up 34.6% (9 incidents). This balance contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. The data underscores the need for targeted awareness around vehicle-related offences, which have exceeded the UK average by more than double.

Moor Park's crime rate in June 2023 (4.5 per 1,000 residents) reflects an 85.4% increase compared to the previous month's rate of 2.4 per 1,000. This rise, though significant, remains within the context of a low daily crime count—roughly one incident per day across the built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 225 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. With a population of 5,842, the area's small size means even minor fluctuations in crime rates can have visible impacts on community safety. The increase in June may partly reflect seasonal shifts, such as the start of summer holidays or changes in local activity patterns. Longer daylight hours and the onset of holiday activity could contribute to increased vehicle-related incidents. The area's built-up nature within Three Rivers suggests that proximity to amenities and transport links may influence crime patterns from the data alone.
