Raunds Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Raunds’ crime rate in February 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure that translates to 41 crimes across a population of 9,891. This rate is 37.3% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (15 incidents, 36.6% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (13 incidents, 31.7%) and public order offences (3 incidents, 7.3%). These patterns align with the area’s seasonal context, as February is typically a low-activity month with reduced outdoor engagement and pre-spring lull in public events. Violence and sexual offences, though down from the previous month, remain a significant concern, particularly as their rate is 36% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, however, shows a contrasting trend, with its rate 34% above the UK average, suggesting localised pressures that may be linked to community dynamics or environmental factors. Public order and criminal damage offences both fell below UK averages, potentially reflecting effective local policing or community initiatives. The overall profile indicates a low-risk environment, though targeted interventions may be needed for categories like anti-social behaviour. Seasonal factors, such as limited daylight and colder weather, likely contribute to reduced outdoor crime but may also exacerbate tensions in confined spaces, warranting further analysis.

February saw a sharp 90% decline in shoplifting, dropping from 10 to 1 incident. This drop aligns with seasonal trends, as winter months typically see reduced retail activity and fewer footfall in local centres. Conversely, anti-social behaviour increased by 30%, rising from 10 to 13 incidents. This category remains 34% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in community management. Violence and sexual offences fell by 58.3%, from 36 to 15 incidents, a trend consistent with the pre-spring lull in activity. Burglary also rose sharply, doubling from 1 to 2 incidents, though it remains 26% below the UK average. These shifts underscore the area’s unique crime dynamics, where local factors like seasonal transitions and community engagement play a key role.

Raunds’ crime rate in February 2025 fell to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 42.2% drop from the previous month’s 7.2 per 1,000. This decline brings the area’s rate significantly below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, a gap that widened from last month. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one reported crime per day in February, a figure that reflects the low overall volume. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 241 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of activity in a population of 9,891. This monthly exposure rate is lower than many comparable areas, suggesting a stable environment despite fluctuations in specific crime types. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Raunds’ crime profile remains a low-risk area relative to national trends, though local variations in crime type distribution require closer attention.
