Some key points include:

• Crime trends: Some offences, including violence with injury and burglary, have fallen, but domestic abuse, anti-social behaviour, youth offending, substance misuse and cybercrime remain important concerns.
• Domestic abuse: Recorded domestic abuse increased by 14%, with particular concern in Bridlington South.
• Vulnerable young people: Young people in the youth justice system commonly experienced school exclusion, domestic abuse, substance use and episodes of going missing from home.
• Feelings of safety: Residents generally felt safe during the day, but only 27% felt safe after dark, with women reporting particular concerns.
• Local concerns: Poor lighting, groups of young people and limited police visibility were among the main issues raised by residents.
• Geographical patterns: Anti-social behaviour remained concentrated in areas including Minster and Woodmansey and Bridlington South, while environmental complaints rose sharply in some rural and coastal areas.
• Online harms: Online harassment, misogyny, grooming and coercive control were highlighted, alongside low awareness of reporting routes and widespread underreporting.
• Health and wellbeing links: Crime and feelings of safety are closely connected to trauma, housing instability, education, substance use, social exclusion and trust in public services.
• Priorities: Recommended action includes accessible victim support, early intervention for vulnerable young people, digital safety awareness, restorative and diversionary approaches, targeted work in hotspot areas and stronger partnership working.
