Aylsham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of reported crime in Aylsham in June 2025, making up 33.3% of the 30 total incidents recorded. This category, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, was 51% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000 — a gap that reflects the area's relatively low levels of violent crime compared to the national picture. The overall crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents placed Aylsham 50.6% below the UK average, a statistic that underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community engagement efforts in maintaining public safety. Anti-social behaviour followed closely as the second most common crime type, with 8 incidents recorded — 23% below the UK average. This pattern suggests that the built-up area's mix of residential and commercial spaces may contribute to a focus on disorder-related incidents rather than more severe crimes. The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the beginning of the summer tourism season, may have influenced the nature of reported crimes, particularly in public spaces. While violent crime rates have seen a notable decline compared to the previous month, the rise in public order offences highlights the need for continued vigilance in managing community interactions and ensuring that local amenities remain safe for residents and visitors alike. The low crime rate, combined with the area's rural-urban character, indicates that Aylsham's crime profile is shaped by a combination of geographic factors, local policing strategies, and the seasonal rhythms of the region.

June saw a 50% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 20 cases in May to 10 in June. This decline, while significant, contrasts with a 500% increase in public order offences, which rose from one incident to six. The shift in crime mix reflects a move from violent incidents to public disorder, a trend that may be linked to the start of the summer season and increased foot traffic in local areas. Public order offences in Aylsham now stand at 0.8 per 1,000 residents — 36% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This discrepancy suggests that local factors, such as community events or seasonal tourism, may be influencing this category more than national patterns. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 75%, from four to one incident, a drop that may indicate the impact of targeted policing efforts or seasonal changes in outdoor activity levels.

Aylsham's crime rate in June 2025 fell to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 31.9% decrease from the previous month's 5.9 per 1,000. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that has widened in recent months. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that translates to one reported crime occurring for every 247 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while low by national standards, highlights the relatively safe environment in Aylsham compared to larger urban centres. The population of 7,424 means that each resident faces a significantly lower risk of experiencing crime than the UK average, with the area's rural-urban mix likely contributing to this trend. While the daily crime count is a useful local metric, it does not account for variations in population density or geographic spread that influence crime patterns elsewhere in the country.
