Crime Stats December 2022 (revised) https://tinyurl.com/2p9btsek

Crime Stats January 2023 https://tinyurl.com/27xp66nw

The January report is surprisingly high, with 83 reports – 73 in beat 12Y and 10 in beat 13X. That’s within the normal range for 12Y, but below the usual minimum (looking at all of 2022) for 13X. I don’t know if the reporting delay is still happening or not. As usual, the largest number of crimes reported are auto-related property crimes, in both beats. Also as usual, the second largest number in both beats is non-auto property crimes (burglaries and thefts). The rest of the reports were crimes against the person and quality of life crimes, in both cases fewer than 10 for the month. January had 2 sets of incidents with multiple charges, one pairing battery with theft, the other 2 charges of auto theft.

The first December crime report showed 64 crime reports – 49 in beat 12Y and 15 in 13X. The revised December report, built on 2/5/23, reported 96 crimes for the 2 beats – 73 in 12Y and 23 in 13X. December still had the 10 reports of crimes against the person, which is on the high side. The highest number of reports in both beats was for auto-related property crimes, followed by regular property crimes. Vandalism (quality of life) was much lower in December than earlier in the year, especially in 12Y.

The one incident with multiple charges in the first December report rose to 4 incidents with multiple charges in the revised report. This was me, rethinking it – 3 sets of multiple charges were all in crimes against the person, and before I was only listing them as multiple if some charges were in different categories. But since they were all in pairs at the same times and the same locations (and the same case numbers, which I checked but didn’t show), I decided I should include them.

Crime statistics

The monthly crime statistics for beats 12Y and 13X, covering December 2022 and November 2022 (revised 1/7/23), are now available on http://rockridgencpc.com, under Resources > Crime Stats and Maps > Rockridge Crime Trends 2021-2022. Here’s a direct link to the page:

Crime Stats November 2022 (revised) https://tinyurl.com/yc6pfc3w

Crime Stats December 2022 https://tinyurl.com/h38udfyt

The December report shows a relatively low number of crimes: 49 incidents in 12Y and 15 in 13X, totaling 69. Crimes against the person in 12Y were on the high side (10 incidents); 13X had a more normal 3. The 10 crimes against the person in 12Y were nearly the highest all year, only November (when revised) was higher. Auto-related property crimes were the highest number, although as usual 12Y had more than 13X. Regular property crimes came next (thefts and burglaries). There was very little vandalism reported in either beat for December. 12Y had one reported set of incidents with multiple charges in December.

November’s revised totals went from 69 (12Y – 53; 13X – 16) to 91 (12Y – 72; 13X – 19). As I said above, 12Y’s 13 crimes against the person in November were the highest in that category all year. The largest numbers of crimes in both beats, as usual, were in auto-related property crimes, followed by regular property crimes. Also as usual, there was much more crime in 12Y than in 13X. The November revision also had a new set of crimes with multiple charges in 12Y.

I would normally update the graph on the main stats page above to show December, but since December numbers are clearly lower than we expect, I’ll wait to update the 2022 graph until we get the revised numbers in February.
