Mid Suffolk Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Mid Suffolk's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a clear dominance of violent crime over property-related offences, a pattern that may reflect the area's rural character and seasonal dynamics. With a crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents—58% below the UK average of 8.1—this district continues to outperform national benchmarks, particularly in violent crime categories. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45.9% of all reported crimes, significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors such as community cohesion and policing strategies may contribute to this trend. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime type, rose by 37.5% compared to May, influenced by increased social activity during the early summer months. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of the tourist season in rural areas—may also explain the slight uptick in anti-social behaviour, as visitor numbers grow and local communities adjust to additional foot traffic. Meanwhile, property crimes remained relatively low, with other theft and shoplifting rates well below UK averages, indicating that the area's economic profile and retail patterns may play a role in deterring such offences. The overall crime rate, though modest, highlights the importance of maintaining current initiatives that support community safety, particularly in addressing the rise in anti-social behaviour while sustaining the success of reducing violent crime.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Mid Suffolk, with anti-social behaviour increasing by 37.5% compared to May, driven by heightened community activity during the early summer months. This rise contrasts with a 35.7% drop in vehicle crime, likely linked to reduced commuter traffic during school holidays. The balance between property and violent crime remained skewed, with violent offences accounting for 45.9% of total crimes—double the share of property crimes, which stood at 27.6%. While violent crime rates in Mid Suffolk remain 44% below the UK average, the sharp decline in bicycle theft (50%) highlights the effectiveness of local anti-theft measures, such as increased patrols in rural areas. The category of 'other theft' rose by 30.8%, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in retail zones, where this type of crime is more commonly reported.

Mid Suffolk's crime rate in June 2025 fell to 3.4 per 1,000 residents, a 5.8% decrease from 3.6 per 1,000 in May. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, where seasonal factors and local initiatives may contribute to reduced incidents. On a daily basis, the district recorded approximately 13 crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects both the overall crime rate and the distribution of offences across the month. When considering the monthly exposure, the data shows that over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 294 residents, a statistic that provides context for the frequency of crime in relation to the local population. This rate, while lower than the UK average, underscores the importance of continued community engagement and policing efforts to maintain this downward trend. The population of 110,775 further contextualises these figures, highlighting that the crime rate remains significantly below national benchmarks despite the challenges posed by the summer season.
