Annfield Plain Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Anti-social behaviour emerged as a striking outlier in Annfield Plain's June 2025 crime profile, with 24 incidents recorded—111% above the UK average. This category alone accounted for 31.2% of all reported crimes, dwarfing the next most common category, violence and sexual offences (27.3%). The area's crime rate of 9.6 per 1,000 residents placed it 18.5% above the UK average, a disparity that may partly reflect the built-up area's density and proximity to regional transport hubs. Seasonal factors likely contributed to the pattern, as June marks the start of summer when public spaces see increased foot traffic and social activity. The dominance of anti-social behaviour, which includes disturbances such as noise complaints and disorderly conduct, contrasts with the UK's broader trend where violence and sexual offences typically lead. This suggests local dynamics—such as community tensions or transient populations—may be shaping Annfield Plain's unique crime picture. Meanwhile, property crimes remained relatively low compared to violent crimes, with 19 property-related incidents (24.7% of total) versus 21 violent crimes. The area's crime mix also saw notable gaps: shoplifting and drug-related offences were significantly below UK averages, reflecting lower retail footfall or effective local policing strategies. As the summer progresses, continued monitoring of anti-social behaviour trends will be critical, given their disproportionate impact on the area's overall crime rate.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in Annfield Plain's crime profile. Other theft surged by 500% (1 to 6 incidents), while public order offences doubled (3 to 9), both categories far exceeding their UK averages. These increases align with summer patterns, where heightened social activity in public spaces may exacerbate disputes or opportunistic behaviour. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 27.6% (29 to 21), a drop that could reflect seasonal changes in community engagement or the impact of targeted policing initiatives. The category of bicycle theft also saw a 100% increase (0 to 1), a figure that may resonate with local cyclists concerned about security during warmer months. Shoplifting in Annfield Plain was 84% below the UK average (1 incident versus 6 nationally), indicating effective retail crime prevention measures or lower foot traffic in commercial areas. The stark contrast between Annfield Plain's anti-social behaviour rates and the UK's broader trends underscores the need for tailored community strategies. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas experiencing spikes in public order incidents, while the decline in violent crime offers a potential silver lining for local safety efforts.

Annfield Plain's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 9.6 per 1,000 residents, an 18.5% increase from the previous month's rate of 8.1 per 1,000. This upward trend translates to roughly 3 crimes reported each day in the built-up area, a figure that may feel more pronounced given the community's relatively small population of 8,011. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 104 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while not extreme, highlights the need for ongoing vigilance. When compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, Annfield Plain's elevated rate is particularly evident in anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which are significantly higher than national benchmarks. This divergence may reflect local factors such as the area's role as a commuter hub or its proximity to larger urban centres, which can influence crime patterns. The previous month's lower rate suggests a potential seasonal fluctuation, with June's increased activity driving up certain categories of crime. For residents, the 1-in-104 monthly exposure figure serves as a reminder that while Annfield Plain's crime rate is above average, it remains a relatively low-crime environment compared to larger cities. Understanding these comparative metrics can help contextualise local safety concerns within broader national trends.
