Glossop Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

With 48 violent crimes reported compared to 40 property crimes, violent offences for the first time this year outpaced property crime in this built-up area of High Peak. This reversal of the usual pattern may reflect seasonal factors, as July is a peak month for tourism and festivals in the area, which can contribute to increased social interactions and associated risks.

This surge, which includes 52 incidents, is likely influenced by the summer season's higher population density from visitors and the extended hours of public activity.

The data indicates a combination of resident and visitor activity, with the area's built-up nature contributing to higher levels of anti-social behaviour compared to more rural counterparts.
