Great Notley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Great Notley’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 44.4% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This performance underscores the area’s continued safety, though the monthly data reveals a nuanced picture shaped by seasonal and local factors. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 39.4% of all reported incidents. This category, while significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, experienced a sharp increase of 160% compared to May, reflecting a notable spike in violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 15.2% of total crimes, with a 150% rise from the previous month. These increases may be linked to the start of summer, when social activity and outdoor presence typically rise, exacerbating tensions in shared spaces. Meanwhile, property-related crimes such as other theft and burglary remained relatively low, with other theft dropping by 57.1% and burglary showing a modest 43% above the UK average. The seasonal context of June—longer daylight hours and the early onset of tourism—likely plays a role in shaping these patterns, though the overall rate remains firmly in line with the area’s historical trend of lower crime levels. The data also highlights the area’s resilience, with categories like public order and vehicle crime remaining well below UK averages, suggesting effective local policing or community engagement efforts.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in violence and sexual offences, which rose by 160% compared to May, jumping from five to 13 incidents.

This decline may reflect heightened community awareness or seasonal shifts, as June marks the start of summer.

This surge, though small in absolute terms, could indicate targeted vandalism or the impact of longer daylight hours.
