Bagillt Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bagillt's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 20.9% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This position as a relatively safer area compared to national standards is consistent with its character as a built-up area within Flintshire, likely featuring a mix of residential and commercial spaces. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 43.2% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 32.4%. The lower crime rate may be influenced by seasonal factors, as July marks the peak of summer with schools out, tourism at its height, and festivals or outdoor events drawing visitors. These conditions may contribute to a lower incidence of property crime but could also drive certain types of offences, such as those related to public order. The data suggests a balance between the area's relative safety and the challenges posed by increased foot traffic and social activity during the summer months. The rate of violence and sexual offences, though the most common category, was 5% below the UK average, indicating a potential effectiveness in local policing or community initiatives. However, the significant rise in anti-social behaviour, which is 42% above the UK average, highlights a specific challenge that may require targeted interventions, particularly as the summer season progresses.

July 2025 saw a 140% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 5 to 12 incidents, a shift that may reflect the impact of summer festivals and extended outdoor activity. Other theft also rose sharply, increasing by 200% as three incidents were reported compared to one in June. This contrasts with a 50% decrease in criminal damage and arson, which fell from four to two cases. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 43.2% of all crimes, though they were 5% below the UK average for this category. The sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, which is 42% above the UK average, suggests a localised challenge in managing public order during the summer peak. Residents may find the 200% increase in other theft particularly concerning, as it indicates a potential vulnerability in securing personal property during events.

Bagillt's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 27.6% compared to the previous month, moving from 5.3 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though notable, still leaves the area 20.9% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded one crime per day in July, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but highlights the fluctuation between months. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 148 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents against the local population of 5,484. This suggests that while the area remains relatively safe compared to national standards, the month-on-month rise underscores the need for continued monitoring of trends, particularly in categories such as anti-social behaviour, which saw a sharp increase. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents are less likely to experience crime than the UK average, but the shift in crime types between months may indicate changing patterns of activity or enforcement priorities.
