Hedon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hedon’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 34.6% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1. This performance aligns with the area’s generally lower crime profile, influenced by its semi-rural character and limited urban density. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (36.1% of all incidents), followed by other theft (19.4%) and public order offences (13.9%). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and increased tourism—may have contributed to fluctuations, though the overall rate remains below the national benchmark. Violence and sexual offences, while still the most frequent category, saw a 13.3% decline compared to May, suggesting possible improvements in community policing or public awareness initiatives. Meanwhile, shoplifting rose sharply, though it remained 5% below the UK average. The lower incidence of anti-social behaviour (79% below the UK average) and criminal damage (31% below) indicates that the area’s built-up nature may limit certain types of crime. These patterns reflect a combination of local factors, including seasonal activity and the area’s geography, which may reduce opportunities for more severe offences while amplifying retail-related incidents.

June 2025 saw a sharp 300% increase in shoplifting, rising from one incident to four. This spike, though significant, remains slightly below the UK average for shoplifting (0.6 per 1,000). Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 13.3%, dropping from 15 to 13 incidents—a trend consistent with the area’s 34% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 60%, from five to two incidents, reflecting potential community efforts or seasonal changes. Other theft—accounting for 19.4% of all crimes—surpassed the UK average by 96%, indicating a localised challenge in this category. These shifts highlight a mixed picture: while violent crime decreased, property-related offences rose sharply, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.

Hedon’s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 20.1% compared to the previous month, moving from 4.4 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area remains 34.6% below the UK average, highlighting its relatively safer profile. On a daily basis, approximately one crime was reported each day in June, a figure that, when scaled to the local population, translates to one crime per 188 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides context for residents, showing that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is lower than the UK average. The population-scaled perspective is particularly relevant for families or individuals considering relocation, as it underscores the area’s continued safety despite the month-on-month rise. The increase in certain crime types, such as shoplifting and burglary, may reflect seasonal shifts, with summer tourism potentially influencing retail activity and property-related incidents.
