Keynsham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Keynsham, 6.6 crimes were recorded in June 2025—a rate 18.5% below the UK average of 8.1. This per-capita figure translates to a daily risk that, while lower than national benchmarks, remains a tangible concern for residents. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (48.6% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (15.7%) and criminal damage (10.0%). These patterns may reflect the area’s character as a small built-up community within Bath and North East Somerset, where proximity to urban centres and seasonal tourism could influence crime dynamics. The summer months, with their longer days and increased outdoor activity, likely contribute to higher reports of violence and anti-social behaviour, particularly in public spaces. Conversely, the UK’s lower-than-average burglary and vehicle crime rates (64% and 73% below national norms) suggest that Keynsham’s compact layout and community-focused policing may deter property-related crimes. However, the significant rise in anti-social behaviour—linked to summer festivals or increased youth presence—highlights the need for targeted interventions. This data underscores the importance of contextualising crime rates not just as abstract figures but as lived experiences shaped by local geography, demographics, and seasonal rhythms. The 6.6 rate, while lower than the UK average, serves as a reminder that even in relatively safe areas, crime remains a factor that requires attention and community engagement.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 120% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 10 to 22 incidents—a sharp contrast to the 43.8% drop in public order offences. This shift suggests a changing pattern in local social dynamics, with potential links to summer activities or increased community interactions. Violent crimes, though still the most common category (48.6% of total), remained 12% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect Keynsham’s demographic profile or local tensions. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 50%, aligning with the UK average and possibly indicating improved security measures or reduced vehicle presence during the early summer. For residents, the 120% spike in anti-social behaviour is a clear indicator to monitor public spaces, particularly in areas with high youth activity or late-night events.

Keynsham's crime rate in June 2025 rose 13.9% from the previous month, reflecting a shift in local crime dynamics. With 5 crimes reported daily, this equates to a tangible presence in the area’s daily life—residents may encounter a crime roughly every 30 hours on average. Over the course of the month, the likelihood of a resident experiencing a reported crime was approximately 1 in 153, a figure that contextualises risk within the community’s size. This monthly exposure rate, while modest, underscores the need for vigilance, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or public gatherings. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Keynsham’s lower-than-average burglary and vehicle crime rates (64% and 73% below UK norms) suggest a safer environment for property, though the rise in anti-social behaviour may indicate challenges in maintaining community cohesion during the summer months.
