Denmead Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Denmead's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 2.3 per 1,000 residents, significantly lower than the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure represents a 72% reduction compared to national levels, highlighting the area's consistently low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 75% of all reported incidents, though this category remains 38% below the UK average. Public order offences and 'other crime' together made up 25% of the total, with the latter category showing a 25% excess over the UK average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—likely contributes to these patterns, as the area's small urban character and limited nightlife may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The low overall rate suggests that Denmead's community infrastructure, including local policing and social cohesion, may play a role in maintaining safety. However, the 28.6% increase in violence and sexual offences raises questions about localized factors, such as temporary spikes in population or specific incidents. These trends should be viewed within the broader context of Denmead's historical crime patterns, which have consistently shown rates well below national benchmarks. The area's demographic profile, likely characterized by a mix of residential and light commercial zones, may further explain the limited scope for property-related crimes, which are typically more prevalent in larger urban centres.

June 2024 marked a 28.6% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 7 to 9 cases. This category remains 38% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000, a stark contrast to national trends. Public order offences fell by 33.3%, declining from 3 to 2 cases, though this category still lags 34% behind the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. A notable shift occurred in 'other crime,' which surged by 100% from 0 to 1 case, the only category in Denmead to exceed the UK average (0.2 per 1,000) by 25%. Residents may find the 1-in-435 monthly exposure figure particularly informative, illustrating the rarity of crime in this area despite specific category fluctuations. These changes suggest a combination of local factors and broader seasonal influences.

Denmead's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 2.3 per 1,000 residents, a 24.8% decline from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal trends, as summer months often see lower crime rates in areas with strong community engagement. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly zero crimes per day in June, reflecting a consistently low level of criminal activity. When scaled to the population of 5,222, this translates to one reported crime for every 435 residents over the course of the month, a figure that underscores the area's relative safety compared to national averages. The population-scaled perspective highlights how infrequent crime is in Denmead, even as specific categories like violence and sexual offences show month-on-month increases. These figures suggest that while the overall environment remains secure, targeted vigilance in certain areas may still be warranted.
