Kingswinford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kingswinford's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 38% of all reported incidents, significantly below the UK average for this category. This contrast with the UK's higher proportion of property crimes underscores the area's unique characteristics. The overall crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents places Kingswinford 39.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that reflects the area's relatively low levels of criminal activity. Seasonal factors may contribute to this profile, as June marks the start of summer, a period typically associated with shifts in crime patterns. For instance, the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, while Kingswinford's rate of 1.9 per 1,000 indicates a 34% deficit, potentially linked to the area's urban setting and local initiatives. Property crimes, such as shoplifting (12.8% of total) and anti-social behaviour (11.6%), remain notable but are also below UK averages, suggesting effective community engagement or policing strategies. The absence of significant spikes in theft from the person or bicycle theft, which are both 100% below the UK average, further illustrates a crime picture shaped by local factors. This mix of crime types—dominated by violent offences yet underperforming compared to national averages for property crimes—paints a nuanced picture of Kingswinford's security landscape, influenced by its built-up area status within Dudley and the seasonal rhythms of summer.

June 2025 saw a marked increase in anti-social behaviour, rising by 141.7% from 12 to 29 incidents, a surge that may partly reflect seasonal changes in public activity. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 58.6% (from 29 to 12), potentially linked to reduced car-related thefts during warmer weather. The crime mix in Kingswinford reveals a distinct profile: violence and sexual offences (38%) dominate, significantly below the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000, 34% below). This contrasts with the UK's higher proportion of property crimes, suggesting a different local dynamic. Shoplifting remained stable at 12.8% of total crimes, aligning with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Residents may find the 58% reduction in anti-social behaviour compared to the UK average (1.4 per 1,000) particularly relevant, indicating a lower incidence of disruptive incidents in Kingswinford compared to other areas.

Kingswinford's crime rate in June 2025 (4.9 per 1,000) marks a 7.4% decline from the previous month's rate of 5.3 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader seasonal trend, as the start of summer often sees a shift in criminal activity patterns. Locally, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 206 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the built-up area. On a daily basis, the area experiences approximately eight crimes per day, a rate that, while notable, remains significantly lower than the UK average. This daily context provides a tangible measure for residents, helping to frame crime statistics in relatable terms. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that Kingswinford's crime levels are proportionally lower than the national average, reinforcing the area's relative safety compared to other regions. However, the slight month-on-month decrease must be viewed alongside broader seasonal dynamics, such as the potential for increased tourism or changes in local activity patterns during June.
