Frodsham Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Frodsham, 6.4 crimes were reported in June 2023 — a rate 24.7% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one reported crime for every 158 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences (30.5% of total), followed by public order offences (20.3%) and anti-social behaviour (15.3%). These patterns align with Frodsham’s character as a mixed-use built-up area with a blend of residential and commercial zones. The summer season likely contributes to increased public order issues, as longer daylight hours and warmer weather may draw more foot traffic to local amenities and events. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average, remain the largest single category, suggesting a need for targeted community safety initiatives in areas with higher social interaction. Public order offences, which were 94% above the UK average, could be influenced by the start of the tourism season, with increased pedestrian activity in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, may reflect local efforts to address nuisance issues through community engagement. The seasonal context of June — the beginning of summer — likely plays a role in shaping these patterns, with outdoor activities and events influencing crime dynamics. While the overall rate remains below the national average, specific categories highlight areas where local conditions interact with broader trends in crime.

June 2023 saw dramatic shifts in Frodsham’s crime profile, with shoplifting and public order offences both surging by 200% compared to May. This jump in shoplifting — from 1 to 3 incidents — may reflect the start of the summer retail season, though the rate remains 44% below the UK average. Public order offences, which tripled to 12 incidents, were 94% above the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000, a stark contrast to other categories. This discrepancy suggests a specific local factor influencing public spaces, linked to increased foot traffic from nearby attractions or seasonal events. Meanwhile, burglary and other crimes saw notable declines: burglary fell by 50% (from 6 to 3 incidents), and other crimes dropped by 50% (from 2 to 1). These decreases could indicate improved security measures or a seasonal shift in criminal activity patterns. The balance between property and violent crime also shifted slightly, with violent crimes (18 incidents) outpacing property crimes (17 incidents) for the first time in recent months. This may reflect the influence of summer events on public spaces, where alcohol-related incidents or social gatherings could temporarily elevate violence rates. For residents, the most immediately relevant finding is the sharp rise in public order offences, which could affect the perceived safety of local parks, shopping areas, or other communal spaces.

Frodsham’s crime rate in June 2023 (6.4 per 1,000 residents) marked a 15.7% increase from May’s 5.5 per 1,000.7% below the UK average. Over the 30 days of June, this equated to roughly 2 crimes per day — a figure that, while modest, highlights the presence of criminal activity in daily life. When scaled to the population of 9,293, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 158 residents provides a tangible sense of risk: a resident has a 1-in-158 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime during the month. This context is particularly useful for parents, local businesses, and community groups assessing safety. The previous month’s rate was lower, suggesting that June’s increase may be linked to seasonal factors such as the start of summer, which typically brings more visitors to the area. However, Frodsham’s overall position relative to the UK remains clear: its crime rate is still significantly below the national average, a trend that may reflect effective local policing or the area’s demographic characteristics. The daily crime count, while low, underscores that no community is entirely free from crime, and local vigilance remains important. For residents, the 1-in-158 figure is a useful benchmark for understanding the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily routines, whether commuting, shopping, or socialising in public spaces.
