August 2025 saw a stark 58.1% decrease in theft from the person, falling from 117 to 49. This dramatic drop may reflect heightened awareness during the summer months or reduced foot traffic in retail areas. Conversely, public order offences rose by 11.4%, climbing from 201 to 224. This increase, despite the typical summer lull, could indicate rising tensions in public spaces or the influence of holiday-related activity. Burglary also increased by 9.9%, with 133 reported incidents. This uptick may be linked to the seasonal context of August, when empty homes—often left unoccupied during holidays—could increase vulnerability to break-ins. Anti-social behaviour remains the most prevalent crime type, accounting for 28.3% of all reported incidents, with a rate 85% above the UK average. This suggests ongoing challenges in managing community disorder, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or transient populations.

Ealing’s crime rate in August 2025 stood at 9.6 per 1,000 residents, an 11.4% decrease from July’s 10.8. This drop aligns with a broader trend of seasonal moderation. above the UK average.
