Carbis Bay Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carbis Bay's crime profile in July 2025 reveals a striking anomaly: violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 50% of all reported crimes, were 34% below the UK average (2.0 per 1,000 vs. 3.0 per 1,000). This stark departure from the national norm is consistent with the area's character as a coastal resort in Cornwall, where seasonal tourism patterns and a relatively small population may contribute to lower rates of violent crime. The overall crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents—53.5% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000—reflects a broader trend of low crime incidence in the area. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which together formed 26.8% of reported crimes, also fell significantly below national averages (55% and 6% below, respectively). This contrasts with the small but notable increase in burglary, which rose to 0.4 per 1,000 (48% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000). The seasonal context of July—a peak month for tourism, festivals, and outdoor events—likely influenced these patterns. While the influx of visitors may have contributed to a rise in public order issues, the absence of large-scale retail or nightlife hubs in Carbis Bay may explain the relatively low rates of shoplifting and theft from the person compared to other UK towns. The month also saw a sharp decline in criminal damage and arson, with a 66.7% drop from June to July, a change that may reflect the seasonal slowdown in construction activity or the closure of certain businesses during the summer break. These data points illustrate how local geography, population size, and seasonal rhythms interact to shape crime trends in Carbis Bay.

July 2025 saw a 200% increase in public order offences, rising from one incident to three—a stark shift that may reflect the impact of summer festivals and increased outdoor events in the area. Concurrently, burglary rates doubled from zero to two incidents, a jump that, while small in absolute terms, places the category 48% above the UK average for this crime type. This contrast with the 67% reduction in criminal damage and arson, which fell from three to one incident, highlights a shifting crime profile. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 50% of all crimes—fell by 26.7% compared to June, a decrease that aligns with the seasonal pattern of reduced foot traffic during the summer holiday period. For residents, the 200% rise in public order offences offers a concrete data point to consider when planning community events or safety measures in the coming months.

Carbis Bay's crime rate in July 2025 (4.0 per 1,000 residents) marks a 4.3% decline from June's 4.2 per 1,000, continuing a downward trend observed in recent months. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day across the 31-day period, a figure that aligns with the area's generally low crime profile compared to national averages. When considering monthly exposure, the data indicates that over the course of July, one crime occurred for roughly every 247 residents. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which stands at 8.6 per 1,000. The population context further underscores this safety: with 5,444 residents, the 22 reported crimes in July represent a minimal proportion of the local population. This suggests that Carbis Bay's built-up area maintains a crime environment that is markedly safer than the national average, though the slight monthly decline may reflect seasonal factors such as the summer holiday period reducing foot traffic in certain areas.
