Godmanchester Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Godmanchester during June 2025, 3.9 crimes were reported—a rate 51.9% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This relatively low figure reflects the built-up area's character as a small, possibly rural-adjacent community with limited commercial density compared to major urban centres. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (16 incidents, 44.4% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (6 incidents, 16.7%) and public order offences (4 incidents, 11.1%). These patterns align with the area's likely mix of residential and light retail spaces, where interpersonal disputes and minor disturbances may occur more frequently than in densely populated cities. The seasonal context of June—longer daylight hours and the start of summer—may have contributed to increased outdoor activity, influencing the prevalence of public order issues. However, the overall rate remains significantly lower than national averages, consistent with the character of smaller, less densely populated built-up areas where crime tends to be concentrated in specific micro-locations rather than spread across entire communities. This per-capita perspective highlights that for a typical resident, the likelihood of encountering a crime in Godmanchester during June was lower than in most parts of the UK, with a daily risk of encountering a crime at roughly 1 in 256 residents over the course of the month.

June 2025 saw a 5.3% decrease in Godmanchester's crime rate compared to May, with the overall rate falling from 4.1 to 3.9 per 1,000 residents. Among the most notable shifts, other theft increased by 100% (from 0 to 2 incidents), and burglary also rose by 100% (from 0 to 1 incident), suggesting isolated but significant events that may have drawn local attention. Conversely, bicycle theft fell sharply by 66.7% (from 3 to 1 incident), reflecting seasonal changes in outdoor activity or improved security measures. The crime mix remained heavily skewed towards violent offences, which accounted for 44.4% of all incidents—significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000 for this category (41% below). Anti-social behaviour also remained well below the UK average (51% below), indicating that while minor disturbances occur, they are not widespread. Public order offences, which rose by 33.3% compared to May, remain 32% below the UK average, suggesting that while local enforcement or community engagement efforts may have addressed some issues, they have not entirely eliminated them. These patterns offer a nuanced view of Godmanchester's crime profile, where violent and disorderly incidents are present but consistently lower than national benchmarks, and where specific month-on-month fluctuations may point to targeted incidents rather than broader trends.

Godmanchester's crime rate in June 2025 (3.9 per 1,000 residents) represented a 5.3% decline from the previous month's rate of 4.1 per 1,000, indicating a modest but measurable downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 1 crime per day over the course of June, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in a community of 9,228 residents. This translates to a monthly exposure rate where, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 256 residents—a statistic that underscores the relatively low risk environment for most households. When compared to the UK average, this rate is 51.9% below the national figure, highlighting the area's distinct position in the broader crime profile. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while violent and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of crimes, their frequency remains lower than in other parts of the country. For instance, the rate of violence and sexual offences in Godmanchester (1.7 per 1,000) was 41% below the UK average, suggesting that factors such as local demographics, community engagement, or environmental design may contribute to this disparity. These comparative metrics provide residents with a clear understanding of how their area's crime experience differs from national averages, reinforcing the notion that Godmanchester's built-up area, despite its limited size, maintains a crime profile that is significantly more favourable than the UK as a whole.
