Horndean Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Horndean’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 60.3% of all reported incidents. This category, at 2.2 per 1,000 residents, was 23% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, illustrating a stark contrast to national trends. The overall crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000—55.6% below the UK average of 8.1—positions Horndean as one of the safest areas in the country. This safety is further reinforced by consistently low rates across property-related crimes, with shoplifting, burglary, and vehicle crime all below UK averages by margins exceeding 60%. The seasonal context of June, the start of summer, likely influenced patterns: longer daylight hours may have deterred some crimes, while the early stages of tourism could have contributed to an uptick in violence and public order issues. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.2 per 1,000, was 86% below the UK average, suggesting strong community cohesion. The data also highlights a broader trend of reduced criminal damage and arson, which fell by 56.3% month-on-month, linked to local initiatives or seasonal inactivity in outdoor spaces. Horndean’s profile as a built-up area within Havant—characterised by residential stability and limited commercial density—likely contributes to its low crime rates. However, the rise in drug-related offences, doubling from one to three incidents, signals a need for targeted prevention strategies. These findings illustrate a community where crime remains rare but not absent, with local factors playing a critical role in shaping its profile.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Burglary and drug-related offences both surged by 200% compared to the previous month, rising from one to three incidents each. This increase may partly explain the shift in crime mix, with property crimes accounting for 24 of 121 total incidents—though still far below the UK average for similar categories. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell sharply by 56.3%, possibly linked to seasonal changes in outdoor activity or improved community vigilance. Public order offences also decreased by 52.6%, suggesting a reduction in disturbances during the early summer months. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, with a rate of 2.2 per 1,000—23% below the UK average. These trends highlight the need for targeted interventions in areas where property crime is rising, while the drop in public order incidents may indicate effective local policing during peak social hours.

Horndean's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, marking an 18.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the start of summer often sees reduced crime in areas with strong community engagement and lower nighttime activity. Daily crime statistics for June reveal an average of four reported incidents per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area’s ongoing efforts to maintain public safety. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 275 residents over the course of the month—a rate that underscores Horndean’s relative safety compared to the UK average. The population context further illustrates this: with 33,300 residents, the area’s low crime rate suggests effective local policing and community initiatives. These metrics, when viewed alongside the UK’s broader crime profile, highlight Horndean’s distinct position as a place where crime remains infrequent and manageable.
