Sileby Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 8,468, Sileby recorded 50 crimes in July 2025, translating to a crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This figure, 31.4% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, positions the area as one of the safer built-up regions in the country. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (17 incidents, 34% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (13 incidents, 26% of total), and public order offences (8 incidents, 16% of total). The seasonal context of July—peak summer with schools closed, festivals, and increased tourism—likely influenced these patterns. The high proportion of violent crimes (34%) may reflect the impact of summer events bringing larger crowds to public spaces, though the rate remains 34% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, while slightly below the UK average, may be linked to the area's compact built-up nature, where noise and nuisance complaints are more concentrated. Public order offences, despite being 41% above the UK average, show a sharp increase from previous months, tied to the summer event calendar. The low rates of property crimes (11 total, 22% of total) and theft-related incidents (2 total) suggest that Sileby's built-up character, with its likely mix of residential and commercial areas, may deter certain types of crime. The overall stability in the crime rate compared to the previous month indicates that local policing and community factors are maintaining a consistent level of safety, even as specific categories fluctuate seasonally.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 8 incidents. This spike, though still below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, suggests potential tensions during the summer festival season. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences fell by 26.1% (from 23 to 17), a decline that may reflect the impact of school holidays reducing youth congregation in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common category at 13 incidents, 3% below the UK average. Possession of weapons rose by 100% to 1 incident, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. The sharp contrast between the 300% increase in public order and the 26.1% drop in violence illustrates a shift in crime dynamics, possibly linked to the area's seasonal rhythms and event calendar. These fluctuations underscore the importance of monitoring specific incident types rather than relying on aggregate figures.

Sileby's crime rate remained stable in July 2025, matching the previous month's figure of 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant short-term shifts in local patterns, though seasonal factors may still influence specific types of crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents in a built-up area with a population of 8,468. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 169 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, reinforcing Sileby's position as a relatively low-risk area. The stability in overall crime rates contrasts with the sharp increase in public order offences, highlighting the need for targeted analysis of specific incident types. Residents may find the 2-per-day average useful for understanding local crime frequency, though the low overall numbers indicate a generally secure environment.
