Chapel-en-le-Frith Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Chapel-en-le-Frith in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property-related offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 50% of all reported crimes. This contrasts with the UK average, where such offences typically make up a smaller proportion, suggesting a unique dynamic in this rural built-up area. The overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents—42% below the UK average—reflects the area’s generally low levels of criminal activity, though the prevalence of violent crime may be linked to local factors such as community density or limited access to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Property crimes, while slightly lower than violent crimes, still constitute a significant portion of the total, with shoplifting and other thefts driving the property category. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may have influenced these patterns, as increased daylight hours and the gradual return of tourism to nearby rural areas could have impacted both crime types. However, the absence of major tourist infrastructure in Chapel-en-le-Frith means these effects are likely more muted compared to coastal or urban destinations. The relatively low rates of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage—both significantly below UK averages—further illustrate the area’s quieter, more stable environment, though the sharp increase in other theft raises questions about local vulnerabilities that may require closer attention. This mix of crime types illustrates a community where interpersonal conflicts and small-scale property offences dominate, with broader societal and environmental factors likely playing a role in shaping these trends.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime types, with other theft increasing by 150% compared to the previous month, driven by a rise from two to five incidents. This spike, while significant, remained below the UK average for the category. Meanwhile, vehicle crime and burglary both doubled from zero to one and one to two incidents respectively, suggesting a possible seasonal uptick in property-related offences. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell sharply by 66.7%, from six to two incidents, potentially reflecting the impact of local initiatives or increased community vigilance. The balance of crime types also reveals a striking contrast: violence and sexual offences accounted for 50% of all crimes, a proportion 16% below the UK average, which may indicate a focus on interpersonal conflicts within the area. These figures highlight both the volatility of specific crime categories and the broader trend of Chapel-en-le-Frith maintaining a crime profile significantly lower than national benchmarks.

Chapel-en-le-Frith’s crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.9. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends observed in small rural areas, where crime often dips during summer due to reduced foot traffic in non-tourist zones. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in June, a figure that reflects the low overall rate compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 211 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. With a population of 7,167, this rate underscores the relatively safe environment in Chapel-en-le-Frith, though the small population size means even minor fluctuations in crime numbers can appear significant. The comparison to the previous month highlights a consistent trend of moderation in crime levels, which may be influenced by factors such as increased community engagement or seasonal shifts in activity patterns.
