Epsom Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Epsom's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a marked dominance of violent crime over property crime, a pattern that deviates from typical seasonal trends. The area's overall crime rate of 11.2 per 1,000 — 38.3% above the UK average — is driven primarily by violence and sexual offences (34.1% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (22.0%). This contrast with property crimes (130 incidents) underscores a potential shift in risk factors, possibly linked to the area's demographic mix and summer activities. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.8 per 1,000, are 33% above the UK average, suggesting localized pressures that may stem from Epsom's role as a commuter hub with late-night retail and transport links. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, is 76% above the UK average, a figure that could reflect the density of residential areas or the impact of prolonged daylight hours on community dynamics. Shoplifting and public order offences remain elevated (43% and 53% above UK averages respectively), but their proportions (8.2% and 7.8% of total crimes) are dwarfed by the rise in violent crime. This imbalance may indicate a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic zones. Seasonal factors — such as the start of summer and increased tourism — may amplify interactions in public spaces, contributing to the rise in violent and anti-social incidents. However, direct causal links, and further analysis would be needed to isolate specific triggers.

June 2025 saw a stark shift in crime dynamics, with violent crimes (141) outnumbering property crimes (130) for the first time this year. This imbalance may reflect seasonal factors, as the start of summer and longer days could increase foot traffic in public spaces. Vehicle crime surged 113.3% compared to May, reaching 32 incidents — a rate 143% above the UK average. This spike aligns with Epsom's commuter infrastructure, where parking areas near retail hubs and transport links may heighten vulnerability. Conversely, burglary fell 41.7% to 7 incidents, a rate 29% below the UK average, due to increased daylight hours deterring break-ins. Meanwhile, drug-related offences surged 140%, rising from 5 to 12 cases — a category that remains 11% above the UK norm. Residents may find the 14 daily crime figure a useful benchmark for understanding local activity levels.

Epsom's crime rate in June 2025 rose 24.8% compared to May's 9.0 per 1,000, now standing at 11.2 per 1,000 — a figure 38.3% above the UK average. This increase translates to roughly 14 crimes reported daily, a local figure that underscores the pace of incidents in the built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 89 residents, a monthly aggregate that reflects the density of activity in Epsom's population of 36,950. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the breakdown shows stark regional variations: anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are significantly above the UK norm, while burglary is below. These disparities suggest local factors — such as the area's mix of residential and commercial zones — may influence crime patterns more than national trends. The daily crime count, though not directly comparable to UK-wide data, offers residents a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents in their immediate environment.
