Hadfield Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 15,826 residents, Hadfield reported 69 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 people. This figure is 45.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a significant deviation that positions Hadfield as safer than the national benchmark. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44.9% of all reported incidents (31 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (14 cases) and public order offences (8 cases). These patterns align with the seasonal rhythm of June, the start of summer, when increased outdoor activity and tourism may contribute to higher interpersonal tensions and public disorder. Violence and sexual offences in Hadfield occurred at a rate of 2.0 per 1,000 (30% below the UK average), suggesting local factors such as community cohesion or policing strategies may temper national trends. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.9 per 1,000 (37% below the UK average), could reflect the area’s character as a relatively stable built-up area with limited nightlife or commercial density. The low rates of property crimes (13 total) compared to violent crimes (31) further indicate a profile where social interactions, rather than economic motivations, drive most criminal activity. Seasonal factors like longer daylight hours and the beginning of summer holidays may have amplified certain behaviours, though can be confirmed without further analysis. The overall crime rate remains consistent with Hadfield’s historical pattern of lower-than-average crime, likely influenced by its location within High Peak, a region with lower urban density and fewer concentrated areas of economic or social vulnerability.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with other theft, vehicle crime, and other crime each rising by 200% or 100% compared to the previous month. Other theft, for instance, increased from 1 to 3 cases, a shift that may reflect heightened opportunities during summer, such as open windows or unsecured vehicles. Vehicle crime also doubled, possibly linked to increased vehicle movement or temporary parking arrangements during warmer weather. Conversely, robbery cases fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), suggesting a temporary reduction in targeted theft, though this change may be influenced by random variation rather than systemic factors. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 6.7% (from 15 to 14 cases), a minor but notable decline that could indicate the effectiveness of local interventions or seasonal shifts in community activity. Violence and sexual offences, while remaining the most common category, occurred at a rate 30% below the UK average (2.9 per 1,000), highlighting Hadfield’s distinct position in the national crime profile. The area’s property crime rate was also significantly below the UK average, with burglary and other theft both at 0.2 per 1,000 (29% and 61% below UK averages, respectively). These figures suggest that Hadfield’s built-up character, combined with its location in High Peak, may limit the prevalence of property-related crimes compared to more densely populated or economically disadvantaged areas. Residents may find the 30% lower rate of violence and sexual offences compared to the UK average particularly relevant, as it indicates a relatively secure environment for daily life.

Hadfield’s crime rate in June 2025 (4.4 per 1,000) marked a 23.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.5 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, this translates to roughly 2 crimes per day across Hadfield’s 15,826 residents—a figure that, while low, suggests a steady presence of criminal activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 229 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to national averages. This statistic underscores the relatively safe environment Hadfield offers, even as local rates fluctuate. When scaled to the area’s population, the 69 crimes reported represent just 0.43% of the total population, a proportion that is far below the UK average. The comparison to the previous month’s rate also highlights the importance of contextual factors: a 23.2% increase in crime may seem significant in absolute terms, but in a low-crime area like Hadfield, such changes are often influenced by temporary factors such as seasonal transitions or localized events. For instance, the rise in vehicle crime could be linked to increased summer travel, while the drop in robbery might reflect reduced foot traffic in certain areas. These fluctuations illustrate how even small changes in crime rates can be interpreted differently depending on the baseline, reinforcing the need for cautious analysis when comparing local and national data.
