North Norfolk Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Norfolk's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 49.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a consistent trend in the district's low crime profile, which is characteristic of rural areas with strong community ties and limited urban density. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.2% of all reported incidents, though this category remained 34% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed at 13.2% of total crimes, with the rate 65% below the national average, suggesting effective local management of public order issues. Criminal damage and arson made up 8.8% of crimes, again significantly lower than the UK figure. The seasonal context of June, marking the beginning of the summer tourist season, may explain some patterns—longer daylight hours and increased community activity could contribute to lower rates of certain crimes. However, the data also highlights specific challenges, such as the sharp rise in robbery cases, which may require further investigation. The overall crime profile in North Norfolk remains markedly safer than the national average, though targeted efforts may still be needed to address emerging trends.

June 2025 saw a 15.9% decrease in violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, dropping from 227 to 191 incidents. This reduction aligns with the seasonal shift towards summer, when increased community activity and daylight hours may deter such crimes. Conversely, robbery incidents surged by 300%, rising from one to four cases, a sharp increase that warrants closer examination. Other crime also rose sharply, with an 181.8% increase from 11 to 31 cases, suggesting potential shifts in criminal activity patterns. North Norfolk's rate for violence and sexual offences (1.9 per 1,000) was 34% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a gap that highlights the area's relative success in curbing violent crime. The significant drop in vehicle crime (-42.9%) and drugs-related offences (-71.4%) may reflect targeted local initiatives or seasonal factors, though no specific programmes are referenced in the data.

North Norfolk's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 7.0% compared to the previous month, falling from 4.4 to 4.1 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the seasonal pattern observed in rural areas, where increased daylight hours and the onset of summer tourism may contribute to reduced opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 14 crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but remains a local metric without UK-wide comparative data. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 244 residents, illustrating the relatively low frequency of incidents in this densely populated rural district. When viewed through the lens of population scale, this statistic underscores the area's consistent performance in maintaining public safety compared to the UK average, which stands at 8.1 per 1,000. The monthly exposure figure, while specific to North Norfolk, provides a tangible measure of risk for residents, showing that the likelihood of experiencing a crime remains significantly lower than in most other parts of the country.
