Rhosllannerchrugog Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Rhosllannerchrugog, 8 crimes were reported in July 2024, placing the area 4.8% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately 3 crimes per 11,317 residents, a figure that while non-trivial remains lower than the national benchmark. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (38.5% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (27.5%), with both categories showing significant deviations from UK averages. Violence rates were 9% higher than the UK average, potentially linked to the summer season's increased social activity and outdoor events. Anti-social behaviour, at 52% above the UK average, may reflect the challenges of managing public spaces during festivals and school holidays. Property crimes, comprising 24% of total incidents, were relatively low compared to the UK, with shoplifting (7.7%) and vehicle crime (1.1%) both underperforming nationally. This contrast suggests a unique local dynamic where interpersonal disputes and public order issues dominate over traditional property-focused crime patterns. The seasonal context of July—characterised by peak tourism, festivals, and school closures—likely contributes to these trends, though the area's built-up character within Wrexham may also influence how crime manifests compared to more rural or urban counterparts.

July saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' and vehicle crime, both rising from zero to one incident each, marking unusual spikes in categories typically rare in the area. Anti-social behaviour remained high, at 52% above the UK average (2.2 vs 1.4 per 1,000), likely linked to increased outdoor activity during summer festivals. Violence and sexual offences (38.5% of total crimes) were 9% above the UK average, a pattern consistent with peak summer months when public spaces see heightened usage. Meanwhile, shoplifting fell 12% below the UK average, possibly due to reduced retail footfall during school holidays. The 40% increase in public order offences may reflect the challenges of managing larger crowds at local events.

Rhosllannerchrugog's crime rate rose 9.7% from 7.3 to 8.0 per 1,000 residents in July 2024 compared to June, reflecting a slight upward trend despite remaining 4.8% below the UK average. With 3 crimes reported daily on average, residents face a 1-in-124 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure contextualises risk as a manageable but non-negligible aspect of community life. The population of 11,317 means each resident is statistically more likely to encounter anti-social behaviour or violent incidents than the UK average. Local patterns suggest that while overall crime is stable, specific categories like 'other crime' saw a 100% increase from zero to two incidents, highlighting the need for targeted awareness.
