Clevedon Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 marked a significant shift in Clevedon's crime profile, with the most dramatic change occurring in burglary rates, which doubled compared to the previous month. This spike, while still modest in absolute terms, highlights the unpredictable nature of property crime in a coastal town with limited commercial activity. Overall, the area maintained its position as one of the UK's safest places, with a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents—58.4% below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. The breakdown of crimes revealed that violence and sexual offences (30 cases) accounted for 42.9% of all incidents, a proportion that aligns with Clevedon's demographic profile as a largely residential area with minimal industrial or commercial infrastructure. The seasonal context of April, with its Easter celebrations and spring weather, may have influenced crime patterns: increased outdoor activity likely contributed to a 71.4% drop in shoplifting, while the Easter holiday period may have temporarily reduced opportunities for other theft-related crimes. However, the sharp rise in burglary cases suggests that seasonal factors alone cannot fully explain the month's dynamics. Clevedon's crime profile continues to reflect the characteristics of a small, coastal town with limited public spaces and strong community engagement, factors that may contribute to its consistently low crime rates. The contrast between Clevedon's statistics and UK averages underscores the importance of local context in understanding crime trends, as national figures often mask significant regional variations.

April 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to three incidents. This surge, while still low in absolute terms, contrasts sharply with a 71.4% drop in shoplifting, which fell from 14 to 4 cases. The shift in crime mix reflects broader trends, with violent crimes (30 cases) accounting for 42.9% of all reported incidents, compared to 46% of UK average violence rates. Clevedon's violent crime rate of 1.4 per 1,000 is 46% below the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to the town's low population density and community-focused policing efforts. Anti-social behaviour cases dropped by 77% compared to the UK average, suggesting effective local interventions. Residents may find the 25% reduction in vehicle crime (from 8 to 4 cases) particularly reassuring, as this category often correlates with traffic congestion and parking density in urban areas.

Clevedon's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, a 34.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.0 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with crime levels 58.4% below the national average. On a daily basis, Clevedon experienced roughly two crimes per day in April, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 309 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, reflecting the area's consistently low crime profile. The drop in crime compared to March aligns with seasonal patterns, as spring weather and Easter-related activities may have contributed to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the stark contrast between Clevedon's figures and the UK average underscores the area's unique characteristics, including its coastal location and relatively small population, which may limit the scale of criminal activity.
