Tilbury Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tilbury's crime profile in June 2023 presents a stark contrast to the UK average, with an overall rate of 13.5 per 1,000 residents — 58.8% higher than the national figure of 8.5. This disparity is most pronounced in violent crimes, which accounted for 42% of all reported incidents, and anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply to 18% of the total. The summer season, marked by longer daylight hours and the beginning of tourist activity, may have contributed to increased social interactions in public spaces, potentially exacerbating tensions. Violence and sexual offences, at 5.7 per 1,000, are 95% above the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by Tilbury's proximity to major transport hubs and the transient nature of its population. Anti-social behaviour, which surged by 125% compared to May, suggests a need for community-focused initiatives to address underlying issues. The data also reveals an 119% increase in criminal damage and arson compared to the UK average, a pattern consistent with areas experiencing rapid development or neglect. While public order offences and shoplifting fell below UK rates, these decreases may be temporary, as seasonal transitions often see fluctuations in crime types. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or during late evening hours, as the combination of summer activity and elevated violent crime rates may create new risks.

June 2023 saw a 125% increase in anti-social behaviour, with incidents rising from 16 to 36. This jump, coupled with a 100% rise in bicycle theft and robbery, signals a worrying shift in local crime patterns. Violent crimes remained high, at 5.7 per 1,000 — 95% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect heightened tensions in public spaces during summer. Conversely, public order offences fell by 36.4% and shoplifting by 26%, suggesting a combination of seasonal and situational factors. Residents should be particularly alert to the surge in anti-social behaviour, which now accounts for 18% of all reported crimes. The absence of significant decreases in violent crime, despite a 16.7% drop in burglary, indicates that targeted interventions may be needed in areas where violence is concentrated.

Tilbury's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 13.5 per 1,000 residents, a 20.4% increase from the previous month's 11.2 per 1,000. This marks a sharp upward trend, with daily crime activity averaging 7 reported incidents per day — a figure that underscores the urgency for vigilance. Over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 74 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Tilbury significantly above the UK average. While this statistic does not reflect daily patterns, it highlights the cumulative impact of crime on the local community. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime compared to the national average, particularly in categories such as violence and anti-social behaviour, which are 95% and 62% above UK rates respectively. This disparity may be attributed to local factors such as increased social activity during summer or specific community dynamics that amplify certain types of crime.
