Corby Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Corby's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 10.6 per 1,000 residents, significantly higher than the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This places the built-up area within North Northamptonshire 23.3% above the national benchmark, a gap that has widened over recent months. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (37.0% of total incidents), anti-social behaviour (21.2%), and shoplifting (10.7%). These patterns align with Corby's character as a medium-sized town with a mix of retail and community spaces, where summer festivals and tourism may amplify public order issues. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and festival activity—likely contributes to the elevated levels of anti-social behaviour and public order offences, as well as the sharp rise in vehicle crime. Shoplifting rates in Corby are 69% above the UK average, suggesting that the town's retail areas may be particularly vulnerable during periods of high foot traffic. While violent crime remains a concern, the overall profile of Corby's crime profile shows a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the town's infrastructure. The high rate of anti-social behaviour, in particular, may be linked to the area's social dynamics and the challenges of managing community spaces during peak summer activity.

July saw a 100% surge in vehicle crime, rising from 7 to 14 incidents, a shift that may reflect increased summer travel or unsecured parking during festivals. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson rose by 45.9%, potentially linked to the area's seasonal festivals and outdoor events. Public order offences also increased by 32.3%, a trend consistent with the summer peak in tourism and local gatherings. Conversely, other crime fell sharply by 78.9%, dropping from 19 to 4 incidents, suggesting improved community engagement or targeted policing efforts. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.9 per 1,000, remain 28% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (2.2 per 1,000) is 42% above national levels. These figures underscore the need for focused interventions in high-risk areas, particularly during peak summer activity.

Corby's crime rate in July 2025 rose to 10.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 3.0% increase from June's 10.3 rate. This places the area 23.3% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a gap that has widened over recent months. Daily crime statistics reveal 23 reported incidents each day, translating to one crime for every 95 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate highlights the persistent presence of crime in the community, though it remains a local figure without direct UK comparison. The population context further illustrates the scale: with 67,876 residents, even modest increases in crime rates can have measurable impacts on local safety perceptions. While some categories like burglary and vehicle crime fall below UK averages, others such as violence and anti-social behaviour show stark disparities, reflecting unique local challenges that require targeted responses.
