Gosport Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gosport’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 12.3% below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 43.6% of all reported incidents and 8% above the national average. This category’s prevalence may be influenced by the area’s coastal location, where summer tourism and local nightlife could contribute to increased incidents. Anti-social behaviour, by contrast, was 37% below the UK average, a trend that may align with the start of the summer season, when community activities and events might displace disorderly conduct. Public order offences, though slightly above the UK average, accounted for 9.7% of total crimes, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in public spaces. Seasonal factors appear to play a role: the drop in shoplifting could be linked to reduced foot traffic during the summer, while the sharp rise in robbery may indicate shifts in criminal activity patterns as tourism begins. The overall rate remains lower than the UK average, a position that may be sustained by local policing initiatives or community engagement strategies. However, the unexpected surge in robbery underscores the need for vigilance in areas frequented by both residents and visitors during the warmer months.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in robbery, with incidents rising from one to two. This sharp rise contrasts with a 36% drop in shoplifting, which fell from 50 to 32 cases. Vehicle crime also declined significantly, dropping by 58.7% as reported incidents fell from 46 to 19. These shifts suggest a combination of local activity patterns and enforcement efforts. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 43.6% of all crimes and 8% above the UK average. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour was 37% below the national average, potentially reflecting the impact of summer activities reducing public disorder. Residents may find the 58.7% decline in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a potential reduction in thefts from parked vehicles during the warmer months.

Gosport’s crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 15.1% compared to May 2025, falling from 8.3 to 7.1 per 1,000 residents. This decline places the area 12.3% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect local policing strategies or seasonal factors. Daily crime figures reveal 20 reported incidents per day in June, a figure that, while locally relevant, does not directly compare to national averages due to differing population sizes. On a monthly basis, one crime occurred for every 142 residents, a metric that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the population. This rate, though lower than the UK average, highlights the importance of localised crime prevention efforts, particularly in areas where specific crime types—such as violence and sexual offences—remain slightly elevated relative to national benchmarks. The drop in vehicle crime, for instance, may be linked to seasonal changes in commuting patterns or increased foot patrols in key locations.
