Raunds Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Raunds' crime profile in July 2025 reveals a combination of seasonal and local factors. The area's overall crime rate of 8.8 per 1,000 residents places it 2.3% above the UK average, a marginal gap that highlights the influence of summer dynamics on local crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences each accounted for 39.1% of total crimes, dominating the monthly tally. These figures align with the seasonal context of July—a peak summer month marked by festivals, extended daylight, and increased tourism—which likely amplifies incidents in public spaces. The property crime category, at 15 total incidents, remained relatively low compared to violent crimes, a trend consistent with Raunds' built-up area status, where community interactions and social events may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal offences. Criminal damage and arson, though lower than the UK average, saw a 150% increase from June, possibly linked to summer activities or temporary structures erected for events. The data also shows burglary at 0.4 per 1,000, 48% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect increased opportunities during the summer months when homes are more likely to be unoccupied or poorly secured. These patterns suggest that Raunds' crime profile is shaped by its role as a summer destination, where transient populations and local traditions create a unique environment for criminal activity.

July 2025 marked a stark transformation in Raunds' crime profile, with burglary leaping 300% from one incident in June to four in July—an anomaly that may reflect heightened vulnerability during summer festivals or increased foot traffic in residential areas. Concurrently, public order offences doubled, and criminal damage and arson rose by 150%, suggesting a compounding effect of seasonal events and potential tensions in community spaces. These increases contrast with declines in other categories: possession of weapons fell 75%, possibly due to increased police patrols during events, while other theft dropped 50%, indicating a possible shift in criminal focus. Anti-social behaviour, the most prevalent category at 39.1% of total crimes, remains 119% above the UK average, a disparity that may be attributed to Raunds' built-up area status, where densely populated spaces can amplify such incidents. The violent crime category, at 3.4 per 1,000, is 12% above the UK average, a figure that could be linked to the area's role as a hub for summer tourism and associated social interactions.

Raunds' crime rate in July 2025 rose sharply to 8.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a 58.3% increase from June's 5.6 per 1,000. This surge positions the area 2.3% above the UK average, a narrow margin that reflects both local dynamics and broader national trends. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 3 crimes per day over July—a figure that, while modest, translates to a monthly exposure rate of 1 reported crime for every 114 residents. This statistic, though seemingly low, underscores the concentrated nature of incidents in specific areas. The population of 9,891 means each resident faces a 0.88% chance of being directly involved in a crime over the month, a figure that may feel disproportionate to those living in high-traffic or densely populated pockets of Raunds. The shift from June to July highlights the seasonal volatility of crime, with summer festivals and extended daylight hours likely contributing to the uptick in public order and anti-social behaviour incidents.
