North East Lincolnshire Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Lincolnshire's crime profile in July 2025 was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.3% of all reported crimes. With an overall crime rate of 13.3 per 1,000 residents, the area's rate is 54.7% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a gap that underscores the region's distinct challenges. This elevated rate is driven by a combination of factors, including the area's seasonal dynamics—July is a peak month for tourism, festivals, and outdoor events, which may contribute to increased social interactions and, consequently, higher rates of violent and public order offences. Shoplifting, at 1.9 per 1,000 (192% above the UK average), and criminal damage and arson (1.3 per 1,000, 113% above the UK average) further highlight the concentration of property-related crimes. These patterns may be influenced by the area's economic profile, with retail centres and high streets serving as focal points for such activity. The seasonal context also aligns with a likely increase in public order offences, as the closure of schools and the influx of tourists during the summer months may create conditions conducive to disorderly conduct. However, some categories, such as anti-social behaviour, showed a 14.6% decrease compared to the previous month, though they remain 29% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives or policing strategies may be having a measurable impact in certain areas.

July 2025 saw a 64.3% increase in robbery cases, with 23 incidents reported compared to 14 in June. This sharp rise, alongside a 41.5% surge in shoplifting (from 212 to 300 cases), points to a significant shift in crime patterns during the summer peak. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 31.0%, from 84 to 58 incidents, possibly reflecting reduced car usage during the school holidays. The dominance of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 38.3% of all crimes—places the area 68% above the UK average for this category, a disparity that may be influenced by local factors such as increased social activity during festivals and events. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, decreased by 14.6% (from 205 to 175 cases), though it remains 29% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of community engagement and policing efforts.

North East Lincolnshire's crime rate in July 2025 rose to 13.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 6.5% increase from the previous month's 12.5 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 69 crimes reported daily, a figure that underscores the persistent pressure on local policing resources. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 75 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents in a community of 159,911. When contextualised against the UK average, the area's crime rate remains 54.7% higher than the national figure of 8.6 per 1,000. This disparity is particularly stark in violent crime categories, where the rate is 68% above the UK average. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is elevated, certain crime types—such as anti-social behaviour—show lower rates compared to the UK, suggesting nuanced local dynamics that may reflect community-specific factors or policing strategies.
