Earls Barton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Earls Barton in June 2025 reveals a distinct pattern dominated by anti-social behaviour, which accounted for nearly half (48.6%) of all reported incidents. This stark concentration in non-violent, community-focused crimes contrasts with the UK average, where anti-social behaviour constitutes only 1.4 per 1,000 residents. The town's overall crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents — 32.1% below the UK average — suggests a fundamentally different social landscape, though the composition of incidents tells a more nuanced story. Anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply from 6 to 17 incidents (an 183.3% increase), may reflect seasonal factors such as the start of summer and increased community interaction. This category's UK average is 1.4 per 1,000, making Earls Barton's rate 90% higher than the national benchmark, indicating a unique local challenge. The balance between property and violent crimes also diverges from typical patterns: while violence and sexual offences (22.9% of total) remain 55% below the UK average, shoplifting (8.6%) and other theft (8.6%) show contrasting trends. These figures suggest a combination of local demographics and environmental factors, with the low rates of burglary (2.9%) and drug-related crimes (2.9%) potentially linked to the area's character as a built-up rural community with limited commercial density. The seasonal context of June — the longest days of the year and the beginning of summer — may also influence patterns, though the absence of significant increases in property crime or vehicle theft indicates that local factors may be more influential than typical seasonal trends.

June 2025 saw dramatic spikes in specific crime categories, with anti-social behaviour surging by 183.3% to 17 incidents — a 90% increase above the UK average for this category. This sharp rise, coupled with an 86% share of all reported crimes, suggests a potential shift in local social dynamics. Shoplifting also rose by 200%, from 1 to 3 incidents, a trend that may reflect seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during the summer months. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 38.5% to 8 incidents, remaining 55% below the UK average. This decline contrasts with the national trend, though local factors such as community engagement initiatives or seasonal changes in population movement may contribute. Public order offences doubled, while drug-related crimes dropped by two-thirds — a stark divergence from the UK average for this category, which remains 26% higher than Earls Barton's rate.

Earls Barton's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in May 2025. This consistency suggests no abrupt shifts in local crime dynamics, though the composition of reported incidents has evolved. On a daily basis, 1 crime was reported over the 30-day period, translating to roughly one incident for every 182 residents across the month. This monthly exposure figure provides context for residents: over the course of June, the likelihood of encountering a reported crime was approximately 0.55% (1 in 182). The area's population of 6,375 residents means that each individual faced a calculated risk of 0.086% (5.5 per 1,000) for any crime type. These figures highlight the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average, with the town's crime profile consistently diverging from national trends in both severity and distribution.
