The East Riding of Yorkshire Joint Strategic Intelligence Assessment (JSIA) evaluates crime trends, social issues, and systemic vulnerabilities across the region. Please visit the main JSIA page accessible here: https://eastridingjsna.com/jsia/. 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.
The Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (VPP) works to prevent and reduce serious violence across the Humber region, covering Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
The VPP’s Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA) shows that serious violence in the Humber region is shaped by a complex mix of individual, family, community and societal factors. While there are encouraging signs of reductions in police recorded serious violence, knife-enabled violence and hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object, the evidence also highlights continuing challenges around weapon possession, domestic abuse, educational vulnerability, deprivation, public space violence and the safety of young people.
The findings reinforce the need for a coordinated public health approach that combines targeted enforcement, early intervention, trusted relationships, trauma-informed practice, safe spaces and community engagement. By continuing to strengthen the evidence base, listen to young people and focus activity on the people, places and times of greatest risk, the Humber Violence Prevention Partnership can better prevent violence, reduce harm and improve outcomes for communities across the region.

The 2026 Analysis Humberside Police & crime commissioner survey was released during the summer of 2026 and is available to view in the PDF below.
The key findings from the ASB Survey 2026 report are found below (however, the results need cautious interpretation because the survey cohort was self-selecting, with proportionally more responses from North Lincolnshire/North East Lincolnshire).
The Police and Crime Commissioner main website is accessible here: https://www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk/.
Most respondents had experienced ASB: 89% reported experiencing at least one ASB incident in the past 12 months, although this high figure may reflect the self-selecting nature of the survey.
Respondents broadly agreed with the ASB definition: suggesting the types of incidents included in the survey generally matched public perceptions of what counts as anti-social behaviour.
The most frequently experienced ASB issue: was the use of e-scooters, mopeds and bikes in pedestrian areas.
The most frequently reported ASB incident: was intentional fire setting and arson. Some commonly experienced issues appear to be under-reported, particularly: e-scooters, mopeds and bikes in pedestrian areas, vehicle-related nuisance, littering.
Many respondents felt ASB had increased: with 63% saying ASB had gone up across Humberside and 56.5% saying it had gone up in their local area.
Public priorities for action: included driving-related concerns, noise disturbances and youth-related concerns, which were frequently mentioned in free-text responses.
The Crime Domain of IMD 2025 measures the risk of personal and material victimisation experienced by residents. It now incorporates a wider range of crime types than previous versions of the index, drawing on six years of recorded crime data alongside police-reported anti-social behaviour incidents. These enhancements provide a more comprehensive assessment of neighbourhood safety and disorder, helping identify communities where crime may contribute to poorer health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
The 2025 IMD crime domain now includes:
- Violence
- Burglary
- Theft
- Criminal damage
- Additional recorded crime categories (expanding coverage beyond the four used in IMD 2019)
- Anti-social behaviour (ASB) based on police incident data, capturing neighbourhood disorder that may not be recorded as a crime.
