Kelvedon and Feering Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kelvedon and Feering’s crime rate in May 2025 stood at 2.7 per 1,000 residents, a figure that remains 66.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast to national trends highlights the area’s enduring safety, even as month-on-month fluctuations suggest pockets of activity. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 42.9% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and public order offences (14.3%). These figures, while significant, are still well below their respective UK averages, with violence and sexual offences being 61% lower than the national rate. The seasonal context of May—marked by longer evenings, bank holidays, and increased outdoor socialising—likely contributes to the observed rise in public order and anti-social behaviour incidents, which doubled from the previous month. Despite these increases, the overall crime profile remains characterised by its low levels, consistent with the area’s built-up yet suburban nature, where community engagement and local policing appear to mitigate broader national trends. The interplay of demographic factors, such as a relatively small population and limited commercial hubs, further explains the area’s resilience to higher crime rates typically associated with larger urban centres. This suggests that while specific categories may show short-term volatility, the broader crime picture in Kelvedon and Feering continues to reflect a safer environment compared to the UK as a whole.

May 2025 saw notable increases in public order offences, anti-social behaviour, and shoplifting, each doubling from the previous month’s figures. These rises, though significant, remain well below UK averages: public order offences were 31% below the national rate, and shoplifting was 40% below. The violent crime category, which accounted for 42.9% of all reported crimes, continues to be 61% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000. This suggests that while specific incidents have risen, the area’s overall violent crime profile remains markedly safer than the national picture. A resident might find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly relevant, as it aligns with May’s longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, a pattern consistent with seasonal trends in similar built-up areas. The persistence of low crime rates across most categories, even amid these increases, reinforces the area’s status as a low-crime environment despite the month-on-month fluctuations.

The crime rate in Kelvedon and Feering for May 2025 rose to 2.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 75.5% increase from the previous month’s rate of 1.5 per 1,000. While this upward trend is notable, the area’s overall crime rate remains 66.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, underscoring its continued position as a relatively low-crime locality. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day in May, reflecting the sparse nature of incidents even during the month’s peak activity periods. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 378 residents, a figure that contextualises the low likelihood of experiencing crime for individuals living in the area. This monthly exposure rate, while a small number, highlights the effectiveness of local policing and community efforts in maintaining safety, even as specific categories of crime show month-on-month increases. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that the area’s crime profile is lower than national trends, with violent crimes, in particular, remaining 61% below the UK average for this category.
