North Northamptonshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in North Northamptonshire, 8.3 crimes were reported in June 2025 — 2.5% higher than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This rate translates to one reported crime for every 120 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.2% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.0%) and shoplifting (8.5%). These patterns align with the summer season, when increased foot traffic in public spaces may amplify opportunities for certain offences. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.0 per 1,000, were 5% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour — a category that includes noise complaints and disorder — surged to 2.1 per 1,000, 48% above the UK rate. This suggests a potential link between the start of the summer holidays and heightened social activity in local communities. Shoplifting, though lower than anti-social behaviour, still exceeded the UK average by 11%, possibly reflecting the retail sector’s peak trading period. Meanwhile, property crimes like burglary and vehicle crime remained below UK levels, with burglary at 0.2 per 1,000 (29% below the UK average) and vehicle crime at 0.2 per 1,000 (46% below). These discrepancies may reflect North Northamptonshire’s demographic profile, where residential areas with lower population densities could experience fewer vehicle-related crimes. The seasonal context of June — longer daylight hours and the beginning of tourism in rural areas — may also influence crime patterns. Overall, the crime profile illustrates a balance between persistent issues like anti-social behaviour and areas where local conditions appear to reduce risk compared to the national average.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour increasing by 16.1% (671 to 779 incidents) and public order offences rising by 16.7% (138 to 161). These increases may reflect the start of the summer season, when social gatherings and tourism in local areas could contribute to heightened disorder. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 31.5% (124 to 85), a decline that could be attributed to reduced commuting activity or improved security measures during the warmer months. Other crime — a category encompassing minor incidents like vandalism — jumped by 44.0% (50 to 72), indicating a possible surge in low-level offences that may be linked to increased public presence in town centres. Violent crimes, though remaining the largest category at 36.2% of total incidents, were 5% above the UK average, suggesting a localised challenge in addressing aggression and sexual offences. Anti-social behaviour, which was 48% above the UK average, highlights a particular concern for residents, as this category often involves noise, harassment, or nuisance complaints that directly impact quality of life. The sharp contrast between rising anti-social behaviour and falling vehicle crime underscores the complexity of local crime dynamics, with different factors likely influencing each category. For residents, the 104 crimes reported daily in June provides a tangible measure of risk, though this figure should be contextualised against the area’s population and seasonal trends.

North Northamptonshire’s crime rate in June 2025 (8.3 per 1,000) was a slight decline of 1.8% compared to the previous month’s rate of 8.5 per 1,000, indicating a stable trend rather than a dramatic shift. On a daily basis, this translates to roughly 104 crimes reported each day — a figure that, while not immediately alarming, provides a concrete measure of the area’s crime exposure. When scaled to the population of 373,871 residents, the monthly rate means that one crime occurred for every 120 residents over the course of June. This monthly exposure metric helps residents gauge the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives, though it does not account for variations in individual risk based on location or activity. Compared to the UK average, North Northamptonshire’s rate was 2.5% higher, but the breakdown reveals mixed performance across categories. For instance, burglary and vehicle crime were significantly below UK levels, whereas anti-social behaviour and violence were higher. This contrast may reflect the area’s unique characteristics, such as a mix of urban and rural environments where certain crimes are more prevalent. The stable month-on-month change suggests that interventions or seasonal factors may have had a neutralising effect, but the higher-than-average rates in specific categories indicate that targeted strategies could still be needed to address localised challenges.
