Glossop Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Glossop's crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 35.9% of all reported incidents. This category alone exceeds the UK average by 19%, with 3.4 crimes per 1,000 residents compared to the national 2.9 per 1,000. The area's overall crime rate of 9.4 per 1,000 residents places it 16% above the UK average of 8.1, a gap that reflects both the persistence of violent crime and the relative underperformance of other categories in reducing their rates. Anti-social behaviour follows closely at 25.9% of total crimes, a figure 69% higher than the UK average, suggesting a particular vulnerability in managing community disorder. The built-up nature of Glossop within High Peak may contribute to these patterns, with shared public spaces and limited private land potentially amplifying confrontations and disorder. Seasonal factors appear to play a role, as June marks the start of summer with longer daylight hours. This period could lead to increased social activity in public areas, correlating with higher incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the data also shows a marked increase in criminal damage and arson (11.8% of total crimes), a category that is 90% above the UK average. This suggests a specific vulnerability to property-related offences that may be linked to the area's rural surroundings and the potential for targeted vandalism. The contrast with categories like vehicle crime (73% below UK average) and drugs offences (63% below) indicates that while some areas of crime are well-controlled, others remain affected by local conditions.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with burglary surging by 300% from one to four incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, indicates a potential shift in offender behaviour or environmental factors. Concurrently, possession of weapons doubled from one to two incidents, a change that may reflect seasonal patterns or localized tensions. Criminal damage and arson also doubled from 10 to 20 incidents, a stark contrast to the 15% decrease in vehicle crime (from five to one). These divergent trends suggest a combination of property-related crimes and more active, public-facing offences. Anti-social behaviour remained 69% above the UK average at 2.4 per 1,000, a figure that could be tied to the area's built-up character and shared public spaces. The sharp decline in public order offences by 42.3% (from 26 to 15) appears to contradict the rise in violence, indicating possible compartmentalization of different crime types within the community.

Glossop's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 9.4 per 1,000 residents, a 32.8% increase from the previous month's 7.1 per 1,000. This places the area 16% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a disparity that has widened over the past year. Daily crime statistics show an average of six reported incidents per day in June, translating to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 106 residents. This figure, while seemingly low, reflects a concentrated pattern of incidents rather than widespread disorder. The built-up nature of Glossop within High Peak likely contributes to this density, with limited space and shared public areas potentially amplifying the visibility of crime. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while individual risk remains low, the concentration of incidents suggests targeted hotspots that may warrant localized attention. This contrast with the UK average highlights the area's distinct profile, where community dynamics and local infrastructure shape crime patterns differently than in larger urban centres.
