Hazlemere Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hazlemere’s June 2025 crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents is 61.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, marking one of the lowest rates nationally. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45% of all crimes, with 27 incidents reported, significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This stark contrast suggests a unique local dynamic, where violent crime remains uncommon despite the area’s built-up status. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category (23.3% of total crimes), with 14 incidents reported, again 51% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. Other theft (10.0%) and public order offences (8.3%) also fell well below national figures, reflecting a broader pattern of lower property crime in the area. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the start of summer and longer daylight hours, which could influence both criminal activity and community engagement. However, the sharp rise in other crime (from 1 to 3 incidents) and other theft (from 2 to 6) highlights potential vulnerabilities that require closer scrutiny. These increases, while modest, may be linked to transitional factors such as the end of term in local schools or shifting patterns in social activity. The overall picture illustrates a community with relatively low crime rates, but one where specific categories are evolving in response to local conditions.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in crime categories, with other crime and other theft both increasing by 200% compared to May, rising from 1 to 3 and 2 to 6 respectively. This surge, though small in absolute terms, suggests emerging patterns in local criminal activity. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 75%, from 8 to 14 incidents, indicating heightened community tensions or increased reporting. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 83.3% (from 6 to 1), and drugs-related crime dropped 66.7% (from 3 to 1), reflecting possible seasonal or environmental factors. Violence and sexual offences, though the most common category (45% of total crimes), remain 51% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This divergence underscores Hazlemere’s distinct crime profile, where violent crime is lower than national benchmarks despite the sharp rise in other categories.

Hazlemere’s crime rate rose 22.4% in June 2025 compared to 2.6 per 1,000 in May, reflecting a shift in crime patterns. Daily crime averaged 2 incidents per day over the month, a figure that, while low, highlights the presence of ongoing local issues. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 320 residents, a monthly aggregate that contextualises the scale of incidents within the population. This rate remains significantly lower than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, but the upward trend from May suggests seasonal or situational factors may be influencing activity. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Hazlemere’s crime exposure is minimal compared to national standards, yet the increase in specific categories warrants attention. The 22.4% rise is modest but notable, particularly when considering the area’s built-up status and potential for community-driven crime prevention efforts to mitigate further growth.
