New Ollerton and Ollerton Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

New Ollerton and Ollerton recorded a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, placing it 26.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure, which is the lowest recorded in the area for this month over recent years, underscores a persistent trend of lower-than-national-average criminal activity. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 58.2% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 16.5%. This distribution contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences make up only 22% of the national crime profile. The seasonal context of July, characterised by peak tourism, school holidays, and outdoor festivals, may have influenced these patterns. For instance, the relatively low incidence of property crimes compared to the UK average—where property crimes typically account for a larger share—could be attributed to the area's built-up nature within a rural district, which may foster a sense of community vigilance. Additionally, the 22% above UK average for violence and sexual offences may be partially explained by the influx of visitors during the summer months. The overall crime rate, while lower than the national average, indicates a need for continued monitoring of violent crime trends, particularly as seasonal factors shift in subsequent months.

July 2025 saw a 7.0% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 43 to 46 incidents. This category, which constitutes 58.2% of all crimes reported, is 22% above the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, highlighting a notable divergence in the local crime profile. Conversely, public order offences fell sharply by 71.4%, from 7 to 2, a shift that may reflect the impact of community policing initiatives or the influence of seasonal events that promote public engagement. Vehicle crime also rose significantly, with a 100% increase from 0 to 2 incidents, a development that could be linked to increased tourism and the presence of temporary vehicles in the area. Meanwhile, shoplifting decreased by 50.0%, from 2 to 1, a trend that may be influenced by heightened retail security measures during the summer months.

New Ollerton and Ollerton's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.3 per 1,000 residents, a 14.2% decline from the previous month's 7.3 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader trend observed in July, a period typically marked by high tourist activity and extended daylight hours, which may contribute to lower rates of certain crimes such as burglary. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that, while locally contextual, provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 159 residents, illustrating the relatively low level of criminal activity in comparison to the UK average. This monthly exposure statistic, when considered alongside the population of 12,572, underscores the area's position as a safer locale within the national context. The decrease in crime from June to July may reflect seasonal patterns, with warmer weather and community events deterring certain types of criminal activity.
