Derby Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Derby's overall crime rate for June 2025 stood at 11.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the city 44.4% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a persistent challenge in maintaining public safety, particularly given the city's urban density and economic profile. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of incidents (38.6%), followed by anti-social behaviour (15.5%) and public order offences (9.7%). These patterns are consistent with Derby's status as a major urban centre with a mix of commercial and residential areas. The seasonal context of June—a time of increased foot traffic on high streets and the onset of summer tourism—likely contributes to the elevated rates of shoplifting and public order incidents. Derby's violent crime rate (4.5 per 1,000) is 57% above the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in areas with high concentrations of anti-social behaviour. Meanwhile, property crimes, though lower than violent crimes, remain a concern, with shoplifting and criminal damage both exceeding UK averages by over 50%. The city's crime profile illustrates a combination of local demographics, economic factors, and seasonal trends, requiring a nuanced approach to crime prevention.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in June 2025 was a 42.5% increase in shoplifting, with incidents rising from 200 to 285. This surge aligns with the start of summer and the associated rise in retail activity across Derby's high streets and shopping centres. Concurrently, robbery rates climbed by 26.9%, reflecting a 7-incident increase, though this remains below the UK average for the category. Possession of weapons saw a 13.5% increase, with 42 incidents reported—150% above the UK average. These spikes contrast with declines in theft from the person (-20%) and vehicle crime (-16.7%), which may reflect improved security measures or seasonal changes in behaviour. The city's violent crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents—57% above the UK average—remains a key concern, particularly given the high proportion of anti-social behaviour and public order offences in the breakdown.

Derby's crime rate remained stable at 11.7 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no major shifts in policing strategies or environmental factors during the period. Daily crime activity averaged 106 incidents per day, a figure that reflects the city's urban density and commercial activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 86 residents, a rate that places Derby significantly above the UK average when scaled to population size. This monthly exposure figure underscores the need for sustained community engagement and targeted interventions. While the overall rate is stable, the distribution of crime types has shifted, with property crimes decreasing slightly and violent crimes maintaining a high proportion of total incidents. These patterns align with Derby's character as a major urban centre with a mix of retail, industrial, and residential zones.
