Ruskington Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ruskington's crime rate in June 2025 was 1.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 76.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights Ruskington's position as one of the safer built-up areas within North Kesteven. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences (3 incidents, 27.3% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences (2 incidents each, 18.2% of total). These figures suggest a focus on community-related incidents rather than property crimes, which accounted for only 9.1% of the total. The seasonal context of June—as the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to the nature of these crimes, though the low overall volume remains notable. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, with Ruskington's rate 83% below that benchmark. Similarly, anti-social behaviour in Ruskington (0.4 per 1,000) is 72% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or policing strategies, may play a role in maintaining lower levels of these types of crime. However, the rise in public order offences—doubling from 1 to 2 incidents—raises questions about how seasonal changes or local events might influence such patterns. While the overall crime rate remains low, the specific distribution of offences indicates a need to consider both environmental and social dynamics in understanding the area's crime profile.

June 2025 saw a 72.7% decline in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 11 incidents in May to 3 in June. This decrease aligns with the UK average for this category, which stands at 2.9 per 1,000, though Ruskington's rate remains 83% below the national figure. Conversely, public order offences doubled, rising from 1 to 2 incidents—a 100% increase. This shift may reflect increased community activity during the summer months, though no definitive causal link can be drawn. Shoplifting and 'other crime' also saw 100% increases, with each category moving from 0 to 1 incident. These spikes, while statistically significant, remain isolated cases. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 50%, from 4 to 2 incidents, suggesting a possible seasonal effect or improved local policing efforts. The category of 'other theft' also fell by 66.7%, from 3 to 1 incident, indicating a potential reduction in minor property crimes.

Ruskington's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 1.9 per 1,000 residents, a 52.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.1 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a rate 76.5% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day, reflecting a level of safety that contrasts sharply with the UK's broader landscape. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 517 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population of 5,684, this means that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than the UK average, which translates to a sense of security for residents. The shift from May to June also highlights a seasonal pattern, with the start of summer potentially influencing community activities and outdoor presence, though this remains a tentative observation given the limited data.
