North Somerset Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Somerset's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 12.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance highlights the area's relatively safer profile compared to national benchmarks, though specific crime categories reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.6% of all reported crimes, with a rate of 3.0 per 1,000 — 5% above the UK average. This discrepancy may reflect local factors such as the area's proximity to major transport hubs or the influence of seasonal tourism, which can increase interactions in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category (15.6% of total crimes), was 23% below the UK average, a contrast that could be attributed to North Somerset's more dispersed residential layout and lower population density compared to urban centres. Public order offences (10.3% of total crimes) were 19% above the UK rate, linked to increased foot traffic during the summer months and the area's role as a regional destination for leisure activities. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer with longer daylight hours and the beginning of tourist season in coastal and rural areas — likely contributes to these patterns. The overall crime rate's continued decline from the previous month's 7.8 per 1,000 suggests that local policing strategies or community initiatives may be having a measurable impact, though further analysis is required to isolate specific contributing factors.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in North Somerset's crime profile. Theft from the person increased by 50%, rising from 2 to 3 incidents, while robbery rose by 40% (10 to 14). These increases, though modest in absolute terms, suggest a potential focus on targeted crime in specific areas. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 37.5% (from 40 to 25), possibly linked to summer travel patterns or reduced foot traffic in certain zones. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences (3.0 per 1,000) were 5% above the UK average, a stark contrast to other categories such as drugs (63% below the UK rate) and vehicle crime (73% below). Residents may find the 37.5% drop in vehicle crime particularly reassuring, as it could indicate effective local measures or seasonal shifts in criminal activity.

North Somerset's crime rate in June 2025 (7.1 per 1,000 residents) marked an 8.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 7.8 per 1,000, reflecting a continuing downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 53 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents in a localised timeframe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 141 residents, a measure that illustrates the frequency of crime relative to the population. This monthly exposure figure, while not directly comparable to national averages due to differing data collection methods, provides a tangible sense of risk for residents. The reduction in overall crime aligns with broader patterns observed in the area during the summer months, though local factors such as increased tourism and seasonal activity may have influenced specific crime types differently.
