Kesgrave Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Kesgrave's crime profile in September 2025, accounting for 40.7% of all reported crimes and maintaining a rate of 0.7 per 1,000 residents—73% below the UK average. This category, which includes assault, sexual offences, and harassment, remains the most significant contributor to the area's crime picture despite a 15.4% monthly decline. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences follow closely, representing 22.2% of total crimes, though both categories remain well below UK averages. The area's overall crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents is 77% lower than the UK's 7.4 per 1,000, a gap that reflects Kesgrave's relatively low levels of property crime and violent incidents. Seasonal factors may influence these patterns, as September marks the start of the academic year and increased social activity in local communities. The low crime rate contrasts with typical urban areas, suggesting that Kesgrave's built-up environment within East Suffolk may benefit from factors such as community cohesion, limited nightlife, or effective local policing. The dominance of violent crimes over property crimes also raises questions about the nature of interactions within the area from the data alone. These figures highlight a crime profile that is markedly different from the UK average, with a focus on interpersonal conflicts rather than economic or property-related offences.

September 2025 saw sharp increases in anti-social behaviour (+100%), public order offences (+100%), and shoplifting (+100%) compared to August, despite a 15.4% decrease in violence and sexual offences. This shift in crime mix suggests a move toward property-related and public order issues, though the overall violent crime category remains 73% below the UK average. Burglary and criminal damage both fell by 33.3%, indicating a potential reduction in targeted property crimes. The area's violent crime rate of 0.7 per 1,000 (40.7% of total) is significantly lower than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. These patterns may reflect seasonal transitions, as the academic year begins and social interactions increase in local areas.

Kesgrave's crime rate in September 2025 rose 17.2% from the previous month, climbing to 1.7 per 1,000 residents from 1.5 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, places the area 77% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period—a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for roughly every 589 residents. While this monthly aggregate highlights the low frequency of crime in Kesgrave, it also underscores the relatively small number of incidents affecting the population. The change from August to September aligns with seasonal patterns, as the area transitions into a period of increased social activity linked to the academic year. This context may help explain the slight uptick in certain crime categories, though the overall rate remains significantly below national levels.
