Radlett Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Radlett's crime profile in July 2025 reveals a mix of localised anomalies and broader trends. The area's overall crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents places it 33.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a gap that reflects Radlett's character as a relatively safe built-up area within Hertsmere. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for nearly 30% of all incidents.7 per 1,000 was only 10% above the UK average. This suggests that while localised issues persist, they remain within national norms. The most striking deviation came in burglary and criminal damage, both of which rose sharply to 0.6 per 1,000—122% and 2% above UK averages, respectively. These figures may be influenced by seasonal factors, as July is a peak month for tourism and festivals, which could create opportunities for property crime. Violence and sexual offences, meanwhile, remained 47% below the UK average, due to Radlett's lower population density and community-oriented policing efforts. The balance between property and violent crime also shifted slightly, with property crimes making up 53% of the total (compared to 58% in June), a trend consistent with summer months when outdoor activity and public events may reduce interpersonal conflicts. While causation, the seasonal context of July—schools out, festivals, and extended daylight hours—likely contributes to these patterns. Residents and local authorities may need to monitor burglary trends closely, as the 400% increase in both burglary and criminal damage suggests a potential vulnerability that could be addressed through targeted community engagement or enhanced security measures.

July 2025 saw a 400% surge in burglary and criminal damage, both rising from one incident to five. This dramatic increase contrasts with a 7.1% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 14 to 13. Anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime type, accounting for 29.8% of total incidents.7 per 1,000 was just 10% above the UK average. Burglary in Radlett was 122% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, highlighting a localised anomaly. Residents may find the 400% rise in burglary particularly concerning, as it suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns during the summer months. The data also reveals a 28% increase in vehicle crime compared to the UK average, a trend that could be linked to Radlett's proximity to major transport routes or increased outdoor activity during festivals.

Radlett's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 34.2% compared to June, moving from 4.3 to 5.7 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area remains 33.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. Daily crime figures show roughly two incidents per day over the month, a rate that aligns with Radlett's character as a built-up area within Hertsmere. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure of one crime for every 174 residents provides context for local residents: over the course of July, the likelihood of encountering a crime was relatively low compared to the UK average. This figure does not account for variations in population density or local policing strategies, but it underscores that Radlett's crime profile remains distinct from broader national trends. The increase in reported crimes may reflect seasonal factors, such as festivals or extended public hours.
