Emsworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a community of 12,182 residents, Emsworth recorded 56 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 people—43.2% below the UK average. This figure highlights the area’s relative safety compared to the national context, where the average rate stands at 8.1 per 1,000. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.5% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour (12.5%) and other theft (8.9%). These patterns align with the character of Emsworth as a built-up area within Havant, a coastal town where tourism begins in the summer months. The rise in violent crime, though still significantly below the UK average, may be linked to the increased presence of visitors and the associated social dynamics in public spaces. Meanwhile, shoplifting and vehicle crime remained lower than the national average, possibly reflecting the area’s compact nature and limited retail density compared to larger urban centres. Seasonal factors, such as longer daylight hours and the start of the tourist season, may have contributed to the distribution of crime types, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences seeing declines that could be tied to community engagement during the summer. The overall data suggests that while Emsworth’s crime profile is shaped by its location and demographics, the relatively low rates indicate effective local measures or inherent characteristics that contribute to its safety.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with possession of weapons increasing by 100% compared to the previous month, rising from 0 to 1 incident. This spike, though small, may reflect heightened awareness or reporting during the summer season. Conversely, robbery decreased by 50%, falling from 2 to 1 incident, a trend consistent with reduced foot traffic in the early summer period. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, contributing 37.5% of all crimes—41% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and shoplifting also showed substantial declines, with the latter falling 52% below the national rate. These figures suggest that Emsworth’s community dynamics, including its proximity to Havant’s broader infrastructure and seasonal tourism patterns, may play a role in shaping these trends. For residents, the data underscores that while certain categories remain elevated, the overall profile remains markedly safer than the UK average.

Emsworth’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, a 5.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.8 per 1,000. This small but consistent decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns observed in coastal towns, where increased daylight and tourism may temporarily reduce certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, reflects the local context of a built-up area within Havant. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 218 residents, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents in a community of 12,182 people. When scaled to the population, this means that the likelihood of any individual being directly affected by crime is minimal, though localized spikes in specific categories—such as possession of weapons—warrant closer attention. The population-scaled perspective also highlights that Emsworth’s overall safety profile remains distinct from the UK average, with its crime rate nearly half that of the national figure.
