Kelvedon and Feering Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kelvedon and Feering’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 37% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This overall rate, while significantly lower than the national figure, masks a dramatic shift in crime types. Violence and sexual offences dominated, accounting for 70.4% of all reported incidents — a stark contrast to property crimes, which made up just 18.5% (5 out of 27). The surge in violent crimes, which rose from six to 19 incidents (a 216.7% increase), suggests a localised spike that may be linked to June’s seasonal factors. As the start of summer, this month typically sees increased activity in areas with tourism or retail hubs, though Kelvedon and Feering’s built-up character may mean different dynamics apply. The area’s violent crime rate (3.6 per 1,000) is 26% above the UK average for this category, while other crime types like criminal damage (31% below UK average) and burglary (29% below UK average) remain relatively low. This juxtaposition of above-average violent crime and below-average property crime highlights a combination of local conditions, influenced by community demographics or the area’s proximity to larger urban centres. The seasonal context of June — longer days and the onset of summer — may also contribute to increased social interactions or public gatherings, factors that could exacerbate certain types of crime. While the overall rate remains reassuringly low compared to the UK average, the disproportionate rise in violent offences demands attention from residents and local authorities.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 216.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from six to 19 incidents — the largest single-month jump in this category. This surge pushed violent crimes to 70.4% of total reported incidents, significantly altering the crime mix away from property crimes, which accounted for just 18.5% (5 out of 27). The area’s rate for violence and sexual offences (3.6 per 1,000) is 26% above the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, despite the overall rate being 37% below the national figure. Other sharp changes include a 100% rise in burglary and other crime, with both categories moving from zero to one incident each. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 66.7% (from three to one), suggesting a possible shift in community dynamics. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted awareness, particularly around rising violent incidents, which may be linked to increased foot traffic during the start of summer.

The crime rate in Kelvedon and Feering rose sharply in June 2025, climbing from 2.7 per 1,000 in the previous month to 5.1 per 1,000 — a 92.8% increase. This upward trend contrasts with the area’s overall 37% below the UK average, highlighting a localised surge in specific crime types. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in June, a figure that may seem low but reflects the concentrated nature of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 196 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while modest, underscores the need for vigilance. The population context adds nuance: with 5,286 residents, the absolute number of crimes (27) is small, but the shift in crime types — the spike in violence and sexual offences — suggests a change in local dynamics. This rise must be viewed in the context of June’s seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, which may influence activity patterns in the area. Comparing this to the UK average, the area’s violent crime rate is 26% higher than the national figure for this category, a discrepancy that demands closer examination of local conditions.
