Willerby and Anlaby's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a figure 36% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national benchmarks. The most common category, violence and sexual offences, accounted for 29.4% of all reported crimes, with a rate of 1.6 per 1,000—47% below the UK average. This anomaly may reflect the area's character as a built-up urban centre with a focus on community policing and local initiatives that prioritise public safety. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 28.4% of total crimes.6 per 1,000 is only 3% above the UK average, suggesting a minor challenge in managing disruptive conduct. Seasonal factors, such as the peak summer season with schools out and festivals taking place, likely influenced the crime profile. The influx of visitors during July may have contributed to higher public order offences.5 per 1,000, 22% below the UK average. The low rates of property crimes, including shoplifting (0.5 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000), both significantly below the UK average, further reinforce the area's safety profile. These patterns align with the characteristics of a mixed-use urban area where local engagement and targeted policing may play a role in maintaining lower crime rates, particularly during periods of increased foot traffic and seasonal activity.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with possession of weapons increasing by 100% compared to the previous month, a rise from zero to one incident. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened awareness or changes in local enforcement priorities. Conversely, other crime fell by 75%, dropping from four to one incident, suggesting a possible reduction in minor infractions or improved community reporting. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, decreased by 25.6%, from 43 to 32 incidents, marking a significant decline that contrasts with the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, where Willerby and Anlaby's rate of 1.6 per 1,000 is 47% below. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.6 per 1,000, is 3% above the UK average, indicating a localised challenge in managing disruptive conduct. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime trends, with some categories showing marked improvement while others require closer attention.

Willerby and Anlaby's crime rate in July 2025 remained stable compared to the previous month, declining by 1.8% to 5.5 per 1,000 residents from 5.6 per 1,000 in June. This slight decrease aligns with the broader trend of consistent crime management in the area. On a daily basis, the 109 reported crimes over 31 days equate to approximately 4 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the area's ongoing efforts to maintain public safety. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for every 182 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic underscores the relative safety of Willerby and Anlaby compared to other areas in the UK, particularly when considering the area's population of 19,866. The combination of low crime rates and a stable month-on-month trend suggests that local initiatives may be contributing to sustained safety, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
