Yapton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Yapton's crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 32% of all reported crimes. This category, at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, was 22% above the UK average and contributed significantly to the area's overall crime rate of 10.8 per 1,000—33.3% higher than the national average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 20% of total crimes, while criminal damage and arson represented 13.3%. These figures suggest a combination of social and environmental factors, with the built-up nature of Yapton likely amplifying tensions in shared spaces. The start of summer may have intensified such dynamics, as longer daylight hours and increased foot traffic in public areas could contribute to higher incidents of disorder. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Yapton exceeds the UK average by a margin that may reflect the area's demographic composition or the presence of high-traffic zones that attract both residents and visitors. While property crimes accounted for 36% of all incidents, the relative underperformance of burglary compared to the UK average—64% below—suggests that local security measures or the nature of Yapton's housing stock may play a role in mitigating certain types of crime. The seasonal context of June, with its transition to warmer weather and the beginning of tourist activity in nearby coastal areas, could also influence patterns of criminal behaviour, increasing opportunities for anti-social conduct and public order offences. However, the drop in burglary and 'other crime' categories may indicate that community-focused policing or improved lighting in residential areas has had a measurable impact on reducing certain types of crime.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 250% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This jump, coupled with a 100% rise in theft from the person, highlights a shift in crime patterns that may reflect increased public gatherings as summer began. Conversely, burglary and other crimes fell sharply, with burglary dropping by 66.7% and 'other crime' declining by 50%. These decreases contrast with the UK average for burglary, where Yapton's rate was 64% below the national figure. The dominance of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 32% of all crimes—suggests a persistent challenge in managing community tensions, particularly as anti-social behaviour rates remained 55% above the UK average. For residents, the 250% spike in public order offences underscores the importance of local policing efforts during peak summer months.

Yapton's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 14.8% compared to May, falling from 12.7 to 10.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the easing of seasonal pressures typically associated with late spring. above the UK average. On a daily basis, Yapton experienced an average of 2 crimes per day in June—a figure that, while modest, reflects the density of its built-up environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 92 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of exposure for local households. With a population of 6,931, this rate underscores the need for continued community vigilance, particularly in areas where anti-social behaviour and public order offences have shown persistent elevation. The reduction in burglary and other crimes may partly reflect seasonal shifts, with fewer opportunities for property crime as summer activities draw attention away from residential areas.
