Denbigh Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denbigh’s crime rate in March 2025 stood at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 15.4% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This improvement aligns with broader seasonal trends, as the transition to spring and lengthening evenings may have contributed to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of reported crimes, comprising 41.2% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.7%) and shoplifting (15.7%). The dominance of violent crime in Denbigh’s profile is consistent with patterns observed in similar built-up areas, where community dynamics and local infrastructure can influence crime rates. However, the significant drop in violence and sexual offences—22.2% compared to February 2025—suggests that efforts to address these issues may be yielding results. This decrease, combined with the overall rate being below the UK average, indicates a positive trajectory for Denbigh’s safety. Seasonal factors, such as the shift into spring, may have played a role in this reduction, as longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures can deter certain criminal activities. However, the persistence of shoplifting and criminal damage above UK averages highlights areas for further attention. These statistics provide a nuanced picture of Denbigh’s crime profile, showing both progress and ongoing challenges that require targeted interventions.

March 2025 saw a 22.2% decrease in violence and sexual offences, the most significant drop among all crime categories, reducing the count from 27 to 21. This decline may partly explain the overall 15.4% reduction in Denbigh’s crime rate compared to the UK average. Conversely, criminal damage and arson rose by 75.0%, from 4 to 7 incidents, a figure that exceeds the UK average by 58%. This increase could be linked to local factors such as weather conditions or seasonal property maintenance patterns. Shoplifting also remained a concern, with Denbigh’s rate at 1.0 per 1,000 residents—47% above the UK average—suggesting that retail areas may still be vulnerable. Meanwhile, public order offences dropped by 60.0%, from 5 to 2, a reduction that may reflect changes in community engagement or policing strategies. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns, with some areas showing marked improvement while others require closer monitoring.

Denbigh's crime rate in March 2025 stood at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 14.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader patterns seen in similar built-up areas during early spring, when seasonal transitions may reduce certain types of crime. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 153 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure to crime within the local population. On a daily basis, Denbigh experienced approximately two crimes per day, a rate that remains lower than the UK average when scaled to similar-sized communities. This daily context provides residents with a tangible sense of the crime profile, allowing for informed comparisons with other areas. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the relatively low frequency of crime in Denbigh, particularly when contrasted with larger urban centres where crime rates are typically higher. These statistics collectively suggest that Denbigh maintains a safer environment compared to the national average, though specific crime types still require attention.
