Anstey Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Anstey, 5.1 crimes were recorded in June 2025 — a rate 37% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a 1-in-197 chance of experiencing a crime over the course of the month, with daily exposure averaging one crime per day across the built-up area. The crime profile shows a distinct pattern: 35.9% of incidents involved violence and sexual offences, 18% were anti-social behaviour, and 12.8% related to public order. These figures contrast with UK averages, where violence rates are 2.9 per 1,000 (37% higher than Anstey) and anti-social behaviour averages 1.4 per 1,000 (also 37% higher). The seasonal context of June — the start of summer — likely contributes to shifts in crime dynamics, as longer daylight hours and increased tourism may influence patterns. However, Anstey's relatively low crime rate suggests a community with strong local ties and possibly limited exposure to high-risk environments like major urban centres. The lower rate of property crimes compared to the UK average (10.3% vs 16.5% in UK data) may reflect Anstey's character as a smaller, less densely populated built-up area within Charnwood, where residential stability and community cohesion could act as deterrents to burglary and vehicle crime. While violence remains the most prevalent category, its rate is lower than the national average, a trend consistent with areas where social services and community engagement are prioritised.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in burglary and criminal damage and arson, both tripling from their previous month levels (1 to 4 incidents). This spike, however, was offset by an 80% decline in vehicle crime, which fell from 5 to 1, possibly due to reduced summer car usage or increased security measures. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 41.7%, from 12 to 7 incidents, though the rate remains 37% below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences, while still the most common crime type, were 37% below the UK average, with 1.8 per 1,000 residents compared to the national 2.9 per 1,000. Public order offences, however, were 19% above the UK average, suggesting local challenges in managing crowds or events during the summer season. These shifts highlight a combination of seasonal factors and community-specific dynamics, with Anstey's lower overall crime rate possibly reflecting its smaller population and more stable social fabric compared to larger urban centres.

Anstey's crime rate in June 2025 (5.1 per 1,000) marked a 9.3% decrease from the previous month's 5.6 per 1,000, indicating a gradual decline in criminal activity over the year-to-date period. On a daily basis, this translates to one reported crime per day across the built-up area, a figure that may resonate more tangibly with residents than aggregate statistics. Over the course of the month, the 39 recorded crimes affected roughly 1 in 197 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in this area. When compared to the UK average, Anstey's population of 7,684 residents experiences significantly fewer violent crimes (1.8 per 1,000 vs 2.9 per 1,000 nationally) and anti-social behaviour incidents (0.9 per 1,000 vs 1.4 per 1,000). However, the area's public order offences (0.7 per 1,000) were 19% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect localised pressures during the summer season. These figures suggest Anstey occupies a middle ground between rural and urban crime profiles, with its lower rates of violent and property crimes balanced by slightly higher public order concerns, linked to the area's built-up character and seasonal tourism.
