Bollington Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Bollington, 4.5 crimes were reported in June 2025—44.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for roughly every 222 residents, placing the area among the safest in the country. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 55.6% of all incidents (20 cases), followed by public order offences (5 cases) and other theft (3 cases). The dominance of violent crime over property crime marks a notable shift in the area’s crime profile, contrasting with the UK average where property crime typically holds a larger share. Seasonal factors may partly explain this pattern, as June marks the start of summer when public spaces see increased use. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (72% below UK average) and shoplifting (52% below UK average) suggest that community-focused policing or local initiatives may be effectively deterring these categories. However, the sharp rise in violent crime compared to the UK average—despite being 13% below for this category—raises questions about localized pressures, such as heightened tensions during extended daylight hours or the convergence of transient populations in public areas. causation, but the seasonal context of longer evenings and potential increases in social interactions may contribute to the elevated levels of violent crime.

June 2025 saw dramatic month-on-month increases in public order offences (+400%), violence and sexual offences (+122.2%), and shoplifting (+100%). These spikes contrast with a 57.1% decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 7 to 3 cases. The violent crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 (55.6% of total crimes) was 13% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggesting that Bollington’s violent crime profile is less severe than the national trend despite the month-on-month increase. Public order offences, now at 0.6 per 1,000, were 2% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, indicating a slight imbalance in this category. A resident might find the 100% increase in shoplifting particularly concerning, as it suggests targeted theft in retail areas despite the overall low crime rate. The drop in anti-social behaviour, while statistically significant, may reflect temporary factors such as local events or seasonal shifts in community activity. These changes highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns in Bollington, where localized factors can drive divergent trends compared to the UK average.

Bollington’s crime rate in June 2025 (4.5 per 1,000) marked a 44.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.1 per 1,000, reflecting a noticeable upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance in public spaces. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 222 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. This statistic offers a tangible perspective for residents: the likelihood of encountering crime in Bollington is much lower than in most other parts of the country. The population context further highlights this safety, as Bollington’s 8,003 residents are spread across a built-up area with limited density compared to larger urban centres. The previous month’s rate, though lower, suggests that the current spike in violence and public order offences may be a temporary fluctuation rather than a long-term trend. Residents should remain aware of the recent increases, but the overall crime profile remains reassuringly low. The contrast with the UK average—particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour and shoplifting—reinforces that Bollington’s crime picture is shaped by unique local factors, possibly including community cohesion or the absence of high-risk environments like major transport hubs.
