Clayton-le-Moors Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Clayton-le-Moors recorded a crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 18.6% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This marks a significant deviation from the national trend and reflects a combination of local factors. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 36.6% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 32.7%. These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and public disorder, which may be exacerbated by the summer season. The area's crime profile is shaped by its character as a built-up area within Hyndburn, where a mix of residential and commercial spaces could contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and public order issues. July, a peak summer month with schools out, festivals, and tourism, likely amplifies these trends. For instance, the surge in public order offences could be linked to increased social gatherings and events, while anti-social behaviour may be influenced by the area's demographics and local social dynamics. The rate of violent crimes, at 3.7 per 1,000, is higher than the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, indicating a need for targeted interventions. Meanwhile, property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remain relatively low compared to the UK average, though they are not immune to seasonal fluctuations. The data also shows that criminal damage and arson, while a small portion of total crimes, rose sharply in July, reflecting the impact of summer festivals or other events. Understanding these patterns requires considering both the area's unique characteristics and the broader context of seasonal activity.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 400% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one incident to five. This sharp rise is the most significant month-on-month shift in the area, with no prior data suggesting such a spike. Concurrently, public order offences surged by 200%, increasing from one to three, while other theft rose by 150%, moving from two to five. These increases may reflect the impact of summer festivals and events, which often draw crowds and can strain local policing resources. Violent crimes, at 37 incidents, remain the most common category, with a rate of 3.7 per 1,000 — 22% above the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 33 incidents, is 113% above the UK average of 1.6 per 1,000, highlighting a pressing concern for residents. In contrast, burglary fell by 40%, dropping from five to three, potentially indicating improved security measures or seasonal changes affecting property crime. The area's violent crime rate is higher than the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted strategies to address underlying factors.

Clayton-le-Moors' crime rate in July 2025 rose to 10.2 per 1,000 residents, a 29.5% increase from the previous month's 7.9 per 1,000. This places the area 18.6% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, approximately three crimes were reported each day in July, a figure that reflects local patterns rather than national trends. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 98 residents, illustrating the frequency of incidents within the community. With a population of 9,919, this translates to a relatively high level of exposure to crime compared to the UK average. The rise in violent crimes and anti-social behaviour, which are both significantly above the UK average, may be linked to the peak summer season, when tourism and festivals bring increased foot traffic to the area. However, the decrease in burglary by 40% suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal factors could be influencing property crime trends differently.
