Shavington Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Shavington's overall crime rate in March 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure 46.2% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national benchmarks, a pattern consistent with its status as a smaller built-up area within Cheshire East. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all recorded incidents (12 cases), followed by public order offences (16.7%) and burglary (12.5%). These figures align with the seasonal context of March—a transitional period between winter and spring—where extended daylight hours may influence both criminal activity and community engagement. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.1 per 1,000) remains 23% below the UK average, a gap that may be attributable to the area's lower population density and limited nightlife infrastructure compared to major urban centres. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (0.4 per 1,000) is 68% below the UK average, suggesting effective local measures or community dynamics that mitigate such incidents. The seasonal shift to spring, coupled with the clocks changing and evenings lengthening, likely plays a role in shaping these patterns. This data illustrates a crime profile characterised by low overall rates, with violence and property crimes dominating but remaining well below national averages.

March 2025 saw a 200% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 3 incidents. This sharp rise, though still below the UK average for burglary (0.3 per 1,000), suggests a potential seasonal vulnerability. Concurrently, public order offences doubled from 2 to 4 cases, a 100% increase, and criminal damage and arson cases also doubled from 0 to 1. These spikes may be linked to the transition to spring, with longer evenings potentially increasing opportunities for public disorder. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 14.3% (from 14 to 12 cases), and other theft dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1 case), though the latter remains 60% below the UK average. The category of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 50% of all crimes—remains 23% below the UK average (2.7 per 1,000), a consistent trend that may reflect the area's lower population density and less concentrated nightlife compared to larger cities. Residents might find the 50% reduction in shoplifting cases (from 2 to 1) noteworthy, indicating a potential shift in retail crime dynamics.

Shavington's crime rate in March 2025 remained stable compared to February, maintaining a rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no abrupt shifts in overall safety during the month. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime every 31 days, reflecting a low-frequency pattern typical of smaller built-up areas. When scaled to the population, this equates to one crime occurring for every 236 residents over the course of the month—a figure that contextualises the rarity of incidents within a local framework. While the rate is stable, the distribution of crime types has shifted with property crimes accounting for 25% of the total (6 cases) and violent crimes dominating at 50% (12 cases). This balance contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically represent a larger share of reported incidents. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with 24 crimes recorded, the likelihood of any individual encountering crime remains relatively low, particularly when compared to larger urban centres with higher population densities and more complex crime ecosystems.
