St Blazey Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in St Blazey, just 4.6 crimes were reported in April 2025—a rate that is 40.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective reveals a community where the risk of experiencing a crime remains comparatively low, even as local patterns shift. The top three crime types in the area were violence and sexual offences (10 incidents, 31.3% of total), criminal damage and arson (6 incidents, 18.8%), and anti-social behaviour (5 incidents, 15.6%). These figures align with the seasonal context of April, a time of year when Easter events and spring weather increase outdoor activity. The rise in public order offences (up 200%) and criminal damage and arson (up 500%) may partly reflect the impact of Easter-related gatherings, while the 63% drop in violent crime could indicate reduced foot traffic in public spaces during the school break. St Blazey’s crime profile, though modest in scale, illustrates the influence of local rhythms on incident rates. The area’s low overall crime rate, combined with its specific vulnerabilities in property-related offences, suggests a need for targeted community engagement strategies that address both seasonal spikes and long-term trends.

April 2025 saw a dramatic shift in crime patterns in St Blazey, with violence and sexual offences falling by 63% compared to March, from 27 to 10 incidents. This decrease, while significant, was accompanied by sharp increases in other categories: criminal damage and arson rose by 500% (from 1 to 6), public order offences doubled (from 1 to 3), and burglary increased by 100% (from 0 to 2). These swings suggest a combination of seasonal and situational factors. For instance, the Easter period and spring weather likely contributed to higher outdoor activity, which may partly explain the rise in public order incidents. Meanwhile, the drop in violent crime could reflect the closure of schools and reduced foot traffic in public spaces during the Easter break. Violence and sexual offences in St Blazey remained 46% below the UK average at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, a figure that contrasts with the 2.6 per 1,000 rate nationally.

St Blazey's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 25.6% decline from the previous month’s rate of 6.2. This reduction translates to a daily average of approximately one crime per day in the built-up area, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this small Cornish community. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 218 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. With a population of 6,970, this rate suggests that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in St Blazey remains significantly lower than the UK average. The shift in crime patterns from March to April also reflects a notable decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 63%, though this was offset by sharp increases in criminal damage and arson. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime trends and their responsiveness to seasonal and situational factors.
