Ripley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ripley (Amber Valley) recorded a crime rate of 12.5 per 1,000 in June 2025, placing it 54.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This elevated rate is driven by a concentration of violent crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 37.6% of all reported incidents. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 27.5%, while public order offences contributed 8.7%. These figures align with the area's character as a built-up zone within a rural district, where community dynamics and local infrastructure may influence crime patterns. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—could contribute to increased public activity and associated risks. Property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime are significantly below UK averages, suggesting that targeted prevention efforts in those areas may be effective. The overall crime profile, however, remains dominated by violent and anti-social incidents, which may reflect both environmental factors and the area's demographic makeup. As the summer season progresses, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to identify any emerging patterns or areas requiring intervention.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in three specific crime categories, each rising by 100% compared to the previous month. Possession of weapons, theft from the person, and robbery all doubled, with the latter two moving from single incidents to two each. This surge, though small in absolute numbers, suggests potential spikes in specific risk factors or local events that may have contributed. Conversely, shoplifting and vehicle crime both fell by 40% and 25% respectively, a shift that contrasts with the rising violent crime trends. The breakdown reveals a stark imbalance, with violence and sexual offences at 4.7 per 1,000—64% above the UK average—while burglary and vehicle crime remain lower than national rates. For residents, the 100% increase in theft from the person is a concrete data point that may warrant increased vigilance in public spaces.

Ripley's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 5.4% compared to the previous month, marking a slight but notable decline. The local daily crime count averaged 8 incidents per day over the month, a figure that reflects the area's persistent challenges with certain crime types. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 80 residents, underscoring the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. This monthly exposure rate, while concerning, is consistent with the area's elevated crime profile compared to the UK average. The population context further highlights the density of incidents relative to the community size, with 18,255 residents facing a high volume of crimes. These statistics, when viewed alongside the 12.5 per 1,000 rate, illustrate the need for targeted interventions in specific crime categories that remain above national averages.
