Brixworth Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brixworth's crime rate in January 2024 stood at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 81.1% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's consistently low crime profile, which is reflected in both the overall rate and the distribution of crime types. Property-related offences dominate the breakdown, accounting for 57.1% of all reported incidents, with criminal damage and arson (28.6%) and anti-social behaviour (28.6%) making up the largest shares. These figures align with the area's character as a built-up area within West Northamptonshire, where low population density and limited commercial activity likely contribute to the reduced incidence of violent crimes. Seasonal context suggests that January's shorter days and post-holiday period may have influenced crime patterns, with fewer outdoor activities potentially reducing opportunities for theft and violence. However, the rise in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage—despite remaining below UK averages—suggests local factors such as community dynamics or environmental conditions may be at play. The absence of violent crimes in the breakdown further reinforces Brixworth's distinct position compared to national trends, where violence typically constitutes a significant portion of reported incidents. This combination of low overall rates and specific category trends illustrates a community with minimal routine exposure to crime, where property-focused issues dominate over more serious offences.

January 2024 saw a 100% increase in both criminal damage and arson and anti-social behaviour, with these categories doubling from previous month levels. This shift highlights a notable uptick in non-violent, property-related incidents despite the overall crime rate remaining historically low. Burglary also increased by 100%, marking its first recorded incident in the month. While these categories remain significantly below UK averages—criminal damage is 30% below and anti-social behaviour 60% below—residents may find the rise in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it is the second-highest category by volume. The absence of violent crimes in the breakdown further contrasts with national trends, where violence typically constitutes a larger share of reported incidents. This mix of stable and shifting crime patterns illustrates the area's unique profile, where property-focused issues dominate over more serious crimes.

Brixworth's crime rate in January 2024 dropped by 46.1% compared to the previous month, reflecting a marked decline in reported incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 720 residents, illustrating a low monthly exposure rate that aligns with the area's consistently low crime profile. Daily crime statistics show an average of approximately 0 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the area's safety relative to its population size. This contrast with the UK average highlights Brixworth's distinct position as a low-crime built-up area, where the absence of daily crime incidents suggests a community with minimal routine exposure to criminal activity. The population-scaled perspective further reinforces this, with the 1-in-720 ratio indicating that residents face significantly lower risks than the national average, particularly in categories like burglary and vehicle crime where local rates are below UK norms.
