Saxilby Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Saxilby's overall crime rate for September 2023 was 2.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 73.8% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's relative safety, though specific crime types reveal a nuanced picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.5% of all reported crimes, followed by criminal damage and arson (23.1%) and anti-social behaviour (15.4%). These figures align with the seasonal context of September, a time when back-to-school activities and the transition into autumn may influence community dynamics. The low overall rate suggests that Saxilby's built-up area within West Lindsey benefits from factors such as strong local policing, community cohesion, or effective urban planning. However, the increase in criminal damage and arson, which rose sharply by 200% compared to the previous month, indicates a need for vigilance. This spike may be linked to the return of students to local educational institutions or the increased presence of transient populations during the academic term. Similarly, the doubling of burglary incidents—though still low in absolute terms—could be influenced by the area's demographic profile, including the presence of older properties or the timing of seasonal events. The relatively low incidence of violent crime, which is 71% below the UK average, may reflect a combination of local initiatives, such as community safety programs, and the area's character as a quieter, more residential built-up area. While the overall trend remains positive, the month-on-month fluctuations in specific crime categories underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions to address emerging risks.

September 2023 saw a significant 200% increase in criminal damage and arson, with incidents rising from 1 to 3. This spike may be linked to seasonal factors such as the return of students and the onset of colder weather, which could influence patterns of vandalism. Burglary also increased by 100%, moving from 1 to 2 incidents, a rise that warrants attention given the area's generally low crime profile. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, dropping from 4 to 2 incidents—a decrease that may reflect the impact of local initiatives or changes in community activity during the month. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 38.5% of all crimes, though this rate is 71% below the UK average. Residents should be aware of the increased risk of property-related crimes, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or during periods of heightened social activity.

Saxilby's crime rate in September 2023 stood at 2.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 27.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.9 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, reflects a broader trend of reduced criminal activity in the built-up area. Over the course of the month, the daily crime count averaged roughly zero incidents per day, a statistic that underscores the relatively low level of criminal activity in Saxilby compared to other parts of the UK. When considering the population-scaled perspective, 1 reported crime occurred for every 474 residents, a figure that highlights the rarity of criminal incidents in this community. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which, while not directly comparable, suggests that Saxilby's residents face a markedly different risk profile. The data does not indicate a shift in the types of crimes committed, but the consistent low numbers suggest that local factors—such as community engagement or environmental design—may contribute to this trend.
