South Cave Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, South Cave recorded a crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 28.6% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This figure translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime per resident every 201 days, suggesting that the area remains relatively safe compared to national trends. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 45.2% of all reported incidents, followed by other crime and other theft at 9.7% each. These patterns align with the seasonal context of December, a time marked by extended evenings, holiday shopping, and potentially empty homes during the festive period. While the overall crime rate is lower than the UK average, certain categories—such as other crime—show significant deviations. Other crime in South Cave was 212% above the UK average, indicating a potential hotspot that may require targeted interventions. The relatively low rates of anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which were 78% and 55% below the UK average respectively, could reflect the area’s community dynamics or effective local policing efforts. However, the sharp increase in anti-social behaviour and other crime categories from zero to one and three incidents respectively highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of these trends. Seasonal factors such as reduced daylight hours and holiday-related activity may have influenced the overall crime profile, with violence and sexual offences decreasing by nearly 40% compared to the previous month. These fluctuations underscore the importance of considering both local and national contexts when interpreting crime statistics, as well as the need for tailored strategies to address specific challenges.

December 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within South Cave. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 39.1% compared to the previous month, dropping from 23 to 14 incidents. This decline may be linked to seasonal factors such as holiday-related social gatherings or increased community vigilance during the festive period. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and other crime categories rose sharply, with both increasing by 100% (from 0 to 1 and 0 to 3, respectively). These jumps could reflect changes in local activity, such as increased public events or temporary disruptions. Vehicle crime also rose by 100%, tied to seasonal traffic patterns or holiday shopping. Other crime in South Cave was 212% above the UK average, highlighting a specific area of concern that may require further attention from local authorities or community initiatives.

South Cave's December 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents translates to roughly one reported crime for every 201 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure is a local metric and does not compare directly to UK-wide figures, which are not available for this specific calculation. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in December, a figure that reflects both the total number of incidents and the population size. Compared to the previous month, the crime rate decreased by 11.4% (from 5.6 per 1,000 to 5.0 per 1,000), suggesting a short-term trend towards lower overall activity. This decline, however, does not necessarily indicate a long-term shift, as December’s unique seasonal factors—such as holiday-related crime patterns and reduced daylight—may influence temporary fluctuations. The population-scaled perspective shows that residents face a relatively low risk compared to the UK average, but localised factors such as community engagement or seasonal events could still play a role in shaping these figures.
