Esh Winning Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Esh Winning’s crime rate in August 2025 was 7.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.2% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal influences, with anti-social behaviour accounting for 43.6% of all crimes—a stark contrast to the UK average, where such incidents occur at a rate 126% lower. The area’s top crime type, anti-social behaviour, likely reflects the social dynamics of a compact built-up area, where community interactions and limited space may amplify such incidents. Violence and sexual offences, at 2.0 per 1,000, were 30% below the UK average, a figure that may be linked to the area’s smaller population and lower levels of alcohol-related incidents compared to larger urban centres. Criminal damage and arson, though less frequent than anti-social behaviour, surged by 166.7% month-on-month, driven by August’s peak holiday season and the associated increase in empty homes. The seasonal context of August—marked by tourism and extended daylight—may have contributed to both the rise in anti-social behaviour and the spike in property-related crimes, though the latter’s impact was mitigated by the overall low crime rate. These patterns highlight the need for targeted strategies to address anti-social behaviour while leveraging the area’s strengths in maintaining lower levels of violent crime.

August 2025 saw a stark rise in anti-social behaviour, with 17 incidents reported—an 88.9% increase from July and 126% above the UK average. This surge, coupled with a 166.7% jump in criminal damage and arson, points to heightened tensions or seasonal pressures, such as holiday-related disruptions. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 52.4%, dropping from 21 to 10 incidents, a decline that contrasts with the UK average and may reflect improved community interventions or temporary reductions in nightlife activity. Public order offences also rose by 50%, though their rate remains close to the UK average. These shifts underscore a combination of local dynamics and broader patterns, with anti-social behaviour emerging as a particularly pressing concern for residents. The data suggests that while some areas of crime are improving, others demand targeted attention to prevent further escalation.

Esh Winning's crime rate in August 2025 stood at 7.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 7.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.2. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in similar built-up areas during late summer, where seasonal transitions and reduced foot traffic may temporarily dampen certain crime types. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents in specific locations. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for every 132 residents, a metric that provides context for residents considering long-term safety trends. This rate remains below the UK average, but the disparity is narrow, suggesting that local factors—such as community policing efforts or the area’s compact size—may play a role in maintaining this lower rate. The comparison to the UK average highlights both the effectiveness of local measures and the need for continued vigilance in addressing rising categories like anti-social behaviour.
