The crime mix in Wixams during June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent, property, and anti-social offences, shaped by both local dynamics and seasonal factors. With a crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000—13.6% below the UK average of 8.1—the area’s profile contrasts with national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.9% of all crimes, the highest proportion, but remained 16% below the UK average. This could be influenced by the area’s built-up nature, where community policing and local initiatives may contribute to lower rates of severe violence. Anti-social behaviour, however, dominated with 26.8% of incidents, significantly above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This may be linked to the area’s character as a planned community with mixed residential and commercial zones, where youth activity and public spaces could drive such offences. Vehicle crime, at 12.5% of total incidents, was 143% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, likely reflecting Wixams’ proximity to major transport routes or its role as a commuter hub. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced these patterns, with increased foot traffic and vehicle movement contributing to higher vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour. While the overall rate remains lower than the UK average, the disproportionate rise in specific categories highlights areas for targeted intervention.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 600% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 1 to 7 incidents—a jump far exceeding other categories. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 275%, climbing from 4 to 15 reports, a figure that is 34% above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This contrast with the 52% below UK average for shoplifting, which rose from 0 to 2 incidents, highlights a mixed picture in crime distribution. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 32.1%, falling from 28 to 19 reports, though they remain 16% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. The sharp rise in vehicle crime may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased traffic or changes in parking patterns, while the anti-social behaviour surge could be linked to summer social activity. Residents might find the 1-in-143 monthly exposure figure useful for understanding local risk levels.

Wixams' crime rate in June 2025 rose by 7.7% from the previous month’s 6.5 per 1,000 to 7.0 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, placing the area’s monthly exposure in context for local residents. Daily crime activity averaged approximately two incidents per day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. While this rate remains 13.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, the increase from May suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the overall lower rate compared to the UK, the community’s crime profile contains specific anomalies—such as vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour—that demand targeted attention. These figures, when viewed alongside the area’s demographic and geographic context, offer insights into how local factors may influence crime patterns.
