Abersychan Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2024, Abersychan recorded 69 crimes across a population of 7,080 residents, translating to a crime rate of 9.8 per 1,000 people. This rate is 16.7% above the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, placing the area in a higher-risk bracket nationally. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (29 incidents, 42% of total), followed by public order (8 incidents, 11.6%) and criminal damage and arson (8 incidents, 11.6%). These figures align with the seasonal context of July, a peak summer month marked by school holidays, festivals, and increased public activity. The high volume of violent crime may be linked to the area’s summer events, which could draw larger crowds and create environments conducive to conflict. Public order offences, at 72% above the UK average, could similarly reflect the pressures of managing large gatherings or addressing alcohol-related incidents in local venues. The prominence of criminal damage and arson suggests potential challenges in maintaining public spaces during events. While Abersychan’s crime profile is influenced by its built-up character and seasonal rhythms, the disparity with the UK average underscores the need for targeted interventions to address local vulnerabilities. The data also highlights areas of contrast, such as anti-social behaviour, which was 31% below the UK average, indicating effective community policing or engagement strategies in this category. Overall, the crime picture for July 2024 reflects a combination of seasonal factors and local conditions that require nuanced analysis to inform future responses.

July 2024 saw a dramatic 500% increase in burglary, rising from 1 to 6 incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may partly explain the 16.7% overall rise in the area’s crime rate compared to the UK average. Violence and sexual offences also rose by 16%, with 29 incidents reported—44% above the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 41.7%, from 12 to 7, suggesting a potential shift in community dynamics or increased enforcement in high-risk areas. The contrast between Abersychan and the UK average is most pronounced in public order offences, which were 72% higher locally, possibly linked to the area’s summer festivals and extended public events. Residents may find the daily crime count of 2 incidents per day a useful benchmark for assessing personal risk during the month. Other crime categories, such as burglary and violence, also show stark deviations from national trends, with burglary at 190% above the UK rate. These figures highlight the need for targeted strategies to address specific local vulnerabilities.

Abersychan’s crime rate in July 2024 rose to 9.8 per 1,000 residents, a 6.2% increase from the previous month’s 9.2 per 1,000. This upward trend, though modest, signals a shift in local patterns. Daily crime figures show 2 incidents per day on average, a tangible rate for residents navigating the area’s streets. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 103 residents—a monthly exposure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a community of just over 7,000 people. When scaled to population size, Abersychan’s rate remains higher than the UK average, with violent crime and public order offences driving much of the disparity. The contrast between Abersychan and the UK average is most stark in categories like burglary, where the local rate is 190% above the national figure. This highlights a unique challenge in the area, where property crimes may be influenced by factors such as summer festivals or transient populations drawn to events. The daily crime count, while localised, offers a practical lens for residents to gauge risk—2 crimes per day equate to roughly 1.6 incidents per day per 1,000 residents, a figure that may prompt heightened vigilance during peak activity periods.
