Seaford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Seaford’s June 2025 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents underscores a stark contrast between violent and property crimes, with the former dominating the landscape. This balance may reflect the area’s character as a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where social interactions during the summer season could contribute to higher rates of violence and anti-social behaviour. The UK average crime rate of 8.1 per 1,000 highlights Seaford’s relative safety, though the town’s data reveals nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.9% of all incidents, significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggesting a lower incidence of severe violence. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime, also fell 30% below the national average, linked to the area’s smaller population and community cohesion. Shoplifting, while down from May, remains a concern, with its rate (0.4 per 1,000) 37% below the UK figure. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and increased tourism—may explain fluctuations, such as the surge in anti-social behaviour, which could be tied to heightened social activity or events. However, the absence of major spikes in property crime, such as burglary (0.0 per 1,000), indicates a stable environment where community vigilance and local policing likely contribute to maintaining low rates. These patterns align with Seaford’s broader safety profile, though the interplay between seasonal dynamics and local factors requires ongoing analysis to ensure sustained progress.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in crime types, with anti-social behaviour increasing by 64.3% (14 to 23 incidents) and vehicle crime rising by 100% (1 to 2). These shifts may partly explain the dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 35.9% of all reported incidents—significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 52.4% (21 to 10), a drop that could reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of summer reducing foot traffic in retail areas. The decrease in burglary (from 3 to 1) aligns with broader UK trends but remains an outlier in Seaford’s crime profile. For residents, the 3.0 crimes per day figure offers a tangible snapshot of the area’s safety, though the rise in anti-social behaviour highlights the need for community-focused interventions.

Seaford's crime rate for June 2025 remained stable at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, a 1.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.4. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the town’s relatively low crime profile compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 232 residents, a statistic that contextualizes the scale of incidents relative to the local population. When compared to the UK average, Seaford’s population-scaled perspective highlights its safety, with crime rates significantly below national benchmarks. However, the monthly exposure figure underscores that while the risk is low, it is not zero, requiring continued vigilance and community engagement to maintain this status.
