Little Eriswell’s September 2024 crime rate of 0.3 per 1,000 residents places it 96.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area’s relative safety. The crime profile for the month was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 100% of the 2 total incidents recorded. This concentration of violent crime, while notable, still remained 89% below the UK average for the category. The area’s low crime rate may be influenced by its built-up yet rural-adjacent character, where small population density and strong community ties could contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. Seasonal factors in September, such as the start of the academic year and shorter evenings, may have played a role in shaping the crime picture. The overall trend suggests that Little Eriswell’s crime profile is consistently low, with violent incidents far out of proportion to the national average. This contrast is particularly striking given the UK’s typically higher rates of violent crime, which are often linked to urban centres and densely populated areas. The limited number of crimes recorded—just 2 in total—further reinforces the area’s status as one of the safest in the country. While the data does not provide insight into the specific circumstances of the incidents, the absence of property-related crimes or other categories indicates a crime profile that is focused on violent offences. This pattern could reflect local dynamics, such as a transient population or targeted incidents, though the small sample size makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. The month’s data highlights the importance of context in interpreting crime statistics, as Little Eriswell’s unique geographical and demographic characteristics likely play a significant role in its low crime rate.
