Finningley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences, along with public order incidents, dominated Finningley’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 57.2% of all reported crimes. These categories, which together saw 12 incidents, contrasted with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences occur at 2.9 per 1,000 (65% below Finningley’s 1.0 per 1,000) and public order offences average 0.6 per 1,000 (69% below Finningley’s rate). The lower-than-UK-average rates for anti-social behaviour (65% below), vehicle crime (19% below), and other theft (61% below) suggest a relatively stable environment, though the spike in public order incidents raises questions about local pressures. Seasonal factors may play a role, as the start of summer often correlates with increased social activity in built-up areas, potentially contributing to public order challenges. Finningley’s overall crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000—56.8% below the UK average—reflects a pattern seen in smaller, less densely populated areas where community policing and lower population density may mitigate crime. However, the absence of major retail or nightlife hubs, which typically drive shoplifting or violence, suggests other factors may be at play. whether this is due to proactive policing, demographic characteristics, or other local conditions, but the sustained low rate indicates a generally safe environment.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 6 incidents. This spike, though still below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000 (which Finningley’s rate of 1.0 per 1,000 exceeds by 69%), suggests a shift in local dynamics. Concurrently, vehicle crime doubled to 2 incidents, and burglary rose from 0 to 1, both reflecting potential seasonal trends tied to summer activity. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 50%, from 12 to 6, a drop that may indicate successful interventions or natural fluctuations. The area’s public order rate stands out as a key concern, with its 1.0 per 1,000 figure far exceeding the UK average. Residents may find the 19.2% monthly decline in overall crime rates particularly reassuring, though the rise in public order incidents warrants attention from local authorities.

Finningley's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 19.2% compared to the previous month, falling from 4.3 to 3.5 crimes per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the start of summer often correlates with reduced outdoor crime in built-up areas. Locally, the daily crime count averaged one incident per day over the month, a figure that may reflect the area’s relatively small population and limited commercial activity. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for every 290 residents, a statistic that underscores the low-frequency nature of incidents in Finningley. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, but the comparison highlights how local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may contribute to sustained safety. The population of 6,083 residents means that each resident’s risk of being directly affected by crime remains minimal, though whether this is due to proactive measures or demographic characteristics.
