Rhoose Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Rhoose's crime profile in June 2023 reveals a clear dominance of violent crimes over property offences, a pattern that may reflect seasonal dynamics and local demographics. The overall crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents places the area 56.5% below the UK average, a figure that underscores its relative safety despite the notable rise in violent incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 52.9% of all crimes, with 18 incidents reported—a stark contrast to the 9 property crimes recorded. This imbalance suggests that social interactions during the summer months, when daylight hours are longest, may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal conflict. Anti-social behaviour followed with 20.6% of incidents, a category that often correlates with community density and public spaces. The UK average for this category is 1.5 per 1,000, meaning Rhoose's rate is 46% below. Other theft, at 11.8% of total crimes, also shows a significant gap from the UK average, though its 300% month-on-month increase raises questions about specific triggers. Seasonal context may explain some patterns: the start of summer often sees increased foot traffic in built-up areas, influencing crime types. However, the absence of a similar spike in property crimes suggests that factors beyond tourism, such as local community dynamics, may be at play. The area's low crime rate overall, combined with the violent crime focus, illustrates a relatively secure environment where targeted incidents—rather than widespread criminal activity—dominate.

June 2023 saw a 157.1% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 7 to 18 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 300% jump in other theft cases, shifted the crime mix sharply towards violent incidents. Property crimes, at 9 total, remained a minority (26.5% of total crimes), contrasting with the 52.9% share of violent crimes. The violent crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 in Rhoose is 35% below the UK average for this category, highlighting a persistent gap in violent crime trends. Residents may find the 100.5% month-on-month rise in overall crime rates noteworthy. The absence of burglary and vehicle crime increases, despite a 100% rise in the latter, suggests targeted spikes in specific categories. This imbalance may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased social activity during summer, or localized incidents in public spaces.

Rhoose's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 3.7 per 1,000 residents, a 100.5% increase from 1.8 per 1,000 in the previous month. This shift positions the area at a significantly lower level than the UK average, which remains 8.5 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show one reported incident per day on average, a figure that, while low, reflects the area's generally secure environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 273 residents, a metric that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population of 9,276. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average when scaled similarly, though direct comparisons are not available for daily figures. The increase from May suggests a seasonal or situational factor influencing crime patterns, though the low overall rate continues to distinguish Rhoose as a relatively safe built-up area within Vale of Glamorgan.
