Rogerstone Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rogerstone's crime rate in June 2025 (3.8 per 1,000 residents) places it 53.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the national picture. This built-up area within Newport, home to 10,825 residents, exhibits a crime profile dominated by violent offences (36.6% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (29.3%). These figures align with the area's character as a compact urban enclave, where high foot traffic and community density may contribute to both the prevalence of interpersonal disputes and the visibility of anti-social acts. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—likely influences these patterns, as increased outdoor activity and tourism may heighten opportunities for certain crimes. However, the data also reveals a 51% reduction in violent crime compared to the UK average, consistent with the area's lower overall rate. While shoplifting and public order offences saw significant declines (77.8% and 50% respectively), the surge in 'Other crime' (200% increase) suggests emerging challenges that warrant closer attention. This interplay between stable, below-average rates and specific spikes highlights the need for nuanced local policing strategies, particularly as summer activities intensify.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in certain crime categories, most a 200% rise in 'Other crime' (from 1 to 3 incidents). This surge, coupled with a 100% increase in anti-social behaviour (6 to 12 cases) and burglary (0 to 3), suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 77.8% (from 9 to 2), aligning with broader seasonal trends as summer tourism begins. The violent crime category, though remaining the most common (36.6% of all crimes), is 51% below the UK average at 1.4 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also lags significantly, at 23% below the national rate. However, 'Other crime' stands out as 87% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000), indicating a localised issue that may require targeted intervention. These fluctuations highlight the need for ongoing analysis of emerging crime types, particularly as summer activities intensify.

Rogerstone's crime rate in June 2025 (3.8 per 1,000 residents) reflects a slight decline from the previous month's 3.9 per 1,000, marking a -2.3% reduction. This marginal shift underscores the area's generally stable security environment, though the data reveals notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. When scaled to the population, this equates to one reported crime occurring for every 264 residents over the course of June—a monthly aggregate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. This statistic, while modest, offers a tangible perspective for residents: the likelihood of encountering a crime in Rogerstone remains significantly lower than the national benchmark, even as specific categories show variation. The population context further reinforces that the area's crime profile is shaped by its compact built-up character, where community policing and local engagement may contribute to maintaining lower rates despite seasonal factors.
