Countesthorpe Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw Countesthorpe's crime rate remain well below the UK average, at 3.9 per 1,000 residents—51.9% lower than the national figure of 8.1. Despite this overall safety, the month highlighted a troubling trend in specific categories, with shoplifting and anti-social behaviour both doubling compared to May. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.7% of all crimes, making them the most common category, followed by shoplifting (25.8%) and anti-social behaviour (12.9%). These figures align with the seasonal context of June, a time when longer evenings and the onset of summer tourism may increase opportunities for certain types of crime. While the area's violent crime rate remains 48% below the UK average, the sharp rise in shoplifting—now 59% above the national average—suggests a need for targeted measures in retail areas. The low crime rate overall may be consistent with Countesthorpe's character as a relatively quiet built-up area within a rural district, where community cohesion and limited urban density likely contribute to the generally low levels of violent crime. However, the seasonal transition into summer, combined with increased foot traffic from visitors, may explain the recent uptick in property-related offences. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high retail presence, as the data indicates that shoplifting has become a more pressing concern than in previous months.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, and vehicle crime, each doubling from May's figures. This surge in shoplifting—now at 1.0 per 1,000 residents—places Countesthorpe 59% above the UK average for this category, raising concerns for local businesses and residents. Meanwhile, violent crime remains significantly below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 1.5 per 1,000, 48% lower than the national rate. The increase in anti-social behaviour, which doubled to four incidents, may partly explain the heightened focus on community safety measures. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas frequented by summer tourists, as the combination of longer evenings and seasonal activity could contribute to the uptick in non-violent crimes. This contrast between rising property-related offences and stable violent crime rates illustrates the shifting dynamics of local crime patterns.

Countesthorpe's crime rate in June 2025 rose 29.0% compared to the previous month, climbing from 3.0 to 3.9 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, with crime levels 51.9% below the national figure. Locally, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 255 residents over the course of the month—a stark contrast to the UK's broader crime context. On a daily basis, Countesthorpe saw an average of one crime per day in June, a figure that, while not negligible, reflects the area's generally low crime profile. This monthly aggregate highlights the importance of community vigilance during periods of change, particularly as summer activities intensify. The population-scaled perspective underscores that, despite the rise, residents face a markedly lower risk of victimisation than the national average, with the majority of crimes concentrated in specific categories rather than widespread disorder.
