Barrow upon Soar Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Barrow upon Soar, 5.6 crimes were recorded in June 2025, a figure 30.9% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly one crime for every 180 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that situates the area within a broader context of comparative safety. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (24.4% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences (19.5% each). These patterns align with the seasonal rhythm of June, which marks the beginning of summer and the gradual increase in outdoor activity. The area's relatively low crime rate may reflect its character as a small, built-up area within Charnwood, where community cohesion and lower population density could contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. However, the prominence of public order offences suggests that local interactions—particularly in public spaces—may be a focal point for enforcement and community engagement. The seasonal context of June, with its longer daylight hours and the start of tourist activity in nearby rural areas, could also influence crime dynamics, though specific data on tourism-related incidents is not available. The overall crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, indicating that residents face a lower per-capita risk than the national norm, though targeted efforts to address public order and anti-social behaviour may still be necessary to maintain this safety profile.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with public order offences surging by 166.7% compared to the previous month, rising from three to eight incidents. This increase, while not uncommon for summer months, highlights a specific focus on public spaces and community interactions. Simultaneously, other theft rose sharply by 200%, moving from one to three incidents, a change that may reflect seasonal shopping patterns or increased foot traffic in retail areas. In contrast, anti-social behaviour dropped by 42.9%, declining from 14 to eight incidents—a decrease that could be attributed to heightened community engagement or local initiatives during the summer. The violent crime category also fell by 37.5%, from 16 to 10 incidents, a trend that may be consistent with the seasonal shift in activity, though it remains higher than the UK average for this category. Public order offences in Barrow upon Soar were 86% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 51% deficit seen in violence and sexual offences. For residents, these figures underscore the importance of local policing priorities and the need for targeted interventions in public spaces, where the risk of public order incidents is elevated compared to the national average.

The crime rate in Barrow upon Soar for June 2025 was 5.6 per 1,000 residents, a 4.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.8 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, suggests a continued trend of stability in the area's overall safety profile. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in June, a figure that, when scaled to the local population, equates to one reported crime for roughly every 180 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure metric provides a tangible sense of risk for residents, placing the area's crime experience in a context that is both relatable and comparable to other small communities. The population-scaled perspective further reveals that Barrow upon Soar's crime rate is significantly lower than the UK average, with the per-capita risk of experiencing a crime being 30.9% less than the national figure. However, the breakdown of specific crime types reveals nuanced differences, such as the 86% deficit in public order offences compared to the UK average—a discrepancy that may reflect local policing strategies or the unique character of the built-up area. These comparisons highlight the value of localized data in understanding both the strengths and challenges of maintaining public safety in a small, rural-adjacent community.
