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

The crime mix in Clayton-le-Moors for June 2025 reveals a combination of violent and non-violent offences. With a crime rate of 7.9 per 1,000 residents—2.5% below the UK average—the area's profile is defined by a pronounced emphasis on violent crime and anti-social behaviour. Violence and sexual offences account for 43.6% of all reported crimes, a share significantly higher than the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, making up 34.6% of incidents, a rate 90% above the national average. This stark contrast to the UK pattern, where property crimes often dominate, suggests a unique local dynamic. The area's built-up character within Hyndburn likely contributes to this imbalance, with higher population density and social interaction potentially amplifying interpersonal conflicts. Seasonal context further influences this profile: as June marks the start of summer, the longer daylight hours may have shifted activity patterns, with increased public spaces and social gatherings contributing to the rise in violent and anti-social incidents. However, the data also shows a marked divergence in other categories: vehicle crime is 19% below the UK average, a trend consistent with lower vehicle density in residential areas. Similarly, theft from the person and shoplifting are both 80% below the UK average, reflecting the area's relatively low tourist activity compared to coastal or urban centres. This crime mix illustrates a community grappling with specific challenges, where efforts to address violent and anti-social behaviour may require tailored strategies that account for both local demographics and seasonal factors.

June 2025 saw a 400% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 5 incidents. This sharp rise, though not uncommon in summer months, contrasts with the 87.5% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 8 to 1. The violent crime category experienced a 41.7% increase, with 34 reported incidents compared to 24 in May. This shift underscores a growing concern for personal safety, particularly given that violence and sexual offences in Clayton-le-Moors (3.4 per 1,000) are 19% above the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour remains the most prevalent crime type, accounting for 34.6% of all incidents, a rate 90% above the UK average. Meanwhile, vehicle crime in the area is 19% below the UK average, a trend consistent with lower vehicle density in built-up areas. For residents, the 400% increase in burglary highlights the importance of home security measures, particularly as summer activities may temporarily alter household patterns.

Clayton-le-Moors' crime rate in June 2025 (7.9 per 1,000) reflects a 5.0% decrease from the previous month's 8.3 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with a broader seasonal pattern seen in similar built-up areas, where crime rates often dip during summer months due to changes in population movement and activity. Locally, the daily crime count of approximately 3 incidents per day translates to a 1-in-127 resident exposure rate over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises the risk within the area's population of 9,919. While this monthly exposure rate is lower than the previous month, it remains a key metric for residents assessing their personal safety. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the rate of violent crime (3.4 per 1,000) is higher than the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000), suggesting a persistent challenge in addressing violent incidents within the community. This contrast highlights the need for targeted local initiatives, even as the overall rate shows a slight improvement.
