Beck Row Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

November 2024 marked a continuation of Beck Row’s historically low crime profile, with a total of 9 crimes reported across the built-up area, translating to a rate of 1.5 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 80.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, placing the area among the safest in the country. The breakdown of crimes reveals a dominance of violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 55.6% of the total, followed by bicycle theft, public order offences, burglary, and vehicle crime. While violent crime remains the most prevalent category, its rate of 0.8 per 1,000 is 69% below the UK average, a testament to the area’s effective community policing and low population density. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and prolonged darkness—may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall decline in violent incidents suggests that local efforts to mitigate conflict have been successful. The relatively high rate of bicycle theft, at 186% above the UK average, could be linked to the area’s proximity to cycling routes or seasonal increases in outdoor activity. The low levels of property crime, including burglary and vehicle crime, further reinforce Beck Row’s status as a low-risk environment, with each category falling significantly below national benchmarks. These trends align with the area’s rural character, where limited urban infrastructure and strong community cohesion may contribute to the sustained suppression of criminal activity.

November 2024 saw a marked 28.6% decrease in violent and sexual offences, dropping from 7 to 5 incidents. This decline, despite the month’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events, suggests effective local interventions or natural seasonal dampening of conflict. Conversely, bicycle theft and vehicle crime both rose by 100% from zero to one incident each, though these remain outliers in an otherwise low-crime environment. The area’s violent crime rate of 0.8 per 1,000 is 69% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 186% surge in bicycle theft compared to the national rate of 0.1 per 1,000. For residents, the most immediate takeaway is the 43.7% monthly drop in overall crime, which brings the area’s rate closer to the lowest recorded levels. These shifts highlight the volatility of specific crime types, even within a broadly stable context, and may reflect transient factors such as Black Friday shopping activity or changes in local transport patterns.

Beck Row's crime rate in November 2024 fell to 1.5 per 1,000 residents, a 43.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its current rate 80.3% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, highlighting the rarity of incidents in Beck Row. When considering the population-scaled perspective, one reported crime occurred for every 682 residents during November, underscoring the low frequency of criminal activity relative to the local population. This monthly exposure figure, while starkly low, aligns with the area’s character as a built-up rural district with limited urban density. The drop in violent crime, in particular, contrasts with the small but notable increases in bicycle theft and vehicle crime, which may reflect seasonal shifts in activity patterns rather than systemic trends. The data suggests that local policing efforts, combined with the area’s geographic and demographic profile, contribute to the sustained low crime environment, though further analysis would be needed to confirm causal links.
