Rhoose Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Rhoose's crime profile in May 2024, accounting for 37.9% of the area's 29 reported crimes. At a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents, this figure is 63.1% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, highlighting a marked divergence from national trends. The breakdown reveals a mix of crime types, with anti-social behaviour (24.1%) and public order offences (10.3%) also contributing significantly. This profile aligns with the characteristics of a built-up area within a commuter-focused region, where social interactions and local events may influence crime patterns. The seasonal context of May—marked by extended evenings and increased outdoor activity—likely contributes to the prominence of violent and disorderly incidents, as well as the relatively low rates of property-related crimes. The category of violence and sexual offences in Rhoose remains 58% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect the area's lower population density, stronger community cohesion, or effective local policing strategies. Meanwhile, the absence of significant spikes in theft or burglary suggests that Rhoose's built-up nature and proximity to larger urban centres may not yet have driven the same levels of property crime seen in more densely populated regions. These factors collectively illustrate an area where violent and anti-social crimes, rather than property offences, are the primary drivers of the local crime profile.

May 2024 saw a dramatic 600% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from one incident to seven, a shift that may reflect heightened social interactions during the month's longer evenings. Concurrently, vehicle crime plummeted by 88.9%, from nine to one, suggesting potential seasonal or situational factors influencing outdoor activity. The category of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 37.9% of all crimes, remained 58% below the UK average (2.8 per 1,000), illustrating a stark contrast to national trends. Meanwhile, other thefts decreased by 60%, from five to two, a decline that could be linked to local efforts in community policing or increased awareness. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of crime patterns in Rhoose, where specific categories like anti-social behaviour surge while others recede, requiring tailored responses from local authorities.

Rhoose's crime rate in May 2024 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 19.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.9. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced activity in vehicle-related crimes, which fell by 88.9% (from 9 to 1), potentially reflecting seasonal shifts or changes in local traffic patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure rate of one crime for every 320 residents. This statistic places Rhoose within a context where residents face a relatively low likelihood of encountering crime compared to the UK average, though local factors such as population density and community engagement may further influence perceived safety. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the absolute number of crimes remaining modest, the rate of decline from April to May suggests a growing emphasis on community policing or environmental interventions that may be contributing to the area's current security profile.
