Wingate Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wingate’s crime profile in July 2025 reveals a clear dominance of property-related offences over violent crimes, a pattern that may reflect the area’s built-up nature and seasonal dynamics. With a total crime rate of 10.8 per 1,000 residents—25.6% above the UK average—property crimes (28 incidents) accounted for nearly half of all reported offences, while violent crimes (16 incidents) made up less than a third. This imbalance suggests that environmental factors, such as the presence of retail spaces or public areas, may be driving property-related incidents. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (27.6% of total), criminal damage and arson (22.4%), and anti-social behaviour (13.8%). However, Wingate’s rates for criminal damage and arson are 293% above the UK average, a stark contrast to categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 3% below the national figure. July’s peak summer conditions, with schools out and tourism activity at its height, may have influenced these patterns. For instance, the rise in bicycle theft and vehicle crime could be linked to increased outdoor activity or unsecured vehicles during festivals and events. Meanwhile, the drop in anti-social behaviour and drug-related crimes may indicate seasonal lulls or the effectiveness of community policing efforts. These trends underscore the need for targeted strategies to address the area’s specific vulnerabilities while leveraging opportunities presented by summer’s social dynamics.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with bicycle theft, burglary, and vehicle crime each increasing by 100% compared to June. These spikes, while small in absolute terms, may indicate emerging risks tied to summer activities or events. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and drug-related crimes both fell sharply—anti-social behaviour dropped by 57.9% and drugs by 50%—suggesting potential success in targeted interventions or seasonal lulls. The balance between property and violent crime remains skewed, with property crimes accounting for 48.3% of all incidents (28 out of 58) compared to 27.6% for violent crimes. This imbalance may reflect Wingate’s built-up character, where retail and public spaces drive property-related offences. Criminal damage and arson rates are 293% above the UK average, a stark contrast to categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 3% below the national figure. These divergences highlight the need for tailored strategies to address specific local challenges.

Wingate’s crime rate in July 2025 (10.8 per 1,000 residents) represents a 13.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 12.4 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests potential stabilisation after a temporary spike in earlier months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the local community. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 93 residents, highlighting the relative frequency of incidents compared to the population size. While this monthly exposure is a local metric only, it offers a tangible sense of risk for residents. The population context further underscores that Wingate’s crime rate is higher than the UK average, with 25.6% above the national figure. This contrast is particularly evident in categories such as criminal damage and arson, which are 293% above the UK average. These disparities reflect local factors that may diverge from broader national patterns, such as community-specific vulnerabilities or environmental characteristics.
