Guildford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Guildford's crime rate stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 3.7% below the UK average of 8.1. This translates to a per-capita risk of one reported crime for every 128 residents over the course of the month. The area's crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.6% of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This spike may reflect the summer season's influence, as longer days and increased foot traffic in the town centre could heighten opportunities for such crimes. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.2 per 1,000, remained 15% below the UK average, due to community-focused policing and the area's relatively stable urban environment. Public order offences also exceeded the UK average by 36%, linked to the start of the tourist season, though no major events were reported in June. The overall rate, while lower than the national average, underscores the need for continued vigilance in high-risk areas. Seasonal factors, such as increased retail activity and outdoor events, may contribute to fluctuations in crime types, but the stability in the overall rate suggests effective local measures are in place.

June 2025 saw notable spikes in theft from the person (+60%), robbery (+53.8%), and bicycle theft (+30%) compared to May. These increases may partly explain the 12% gap above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.6% of all crimes. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 35.1%, aligning with Guildford's 46% deficit below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour remained 15% below the national rate, likely reflecting the area's urban planning and community engagement initiatives. The 3.7% UK-wide deficit in Guildford's overall rate highlights effective local strategies, though the sharp rise in theft from the person—now 0.1 per 1,000 residents—suggests heightened vigilance in public spaces. Residents might consider securing personal belongings in high-traffic areas, given the 60% increase in this category.

Guildford's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, matching the previous month's rate. This consistency suggests no abrupt shifts in local safety patterns. gap below the UK average persists. On a daily basis, 39 crimes were reported across Guildford, translating to roughly one crime for every 128 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure contextualises the risk as relatively low compared to national trends. With a population of 151,359, the 1,180 total crimes reported in June equate to a manageable frequency for most residents, though specific areas may experience higher concentrations. The stability in the overall rate contrasts with the UK's slightly higher average, potentially reflecting Guildford's urban character and targeted policing efforts. However, the per-capita perspective highlights that daily life in Guildford remains safer than the national average, even as seasonal factors like summer tourism may influence local crime dynamics.
