Shiremoor Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a community of 8,084 residents, Shiremoor recorded 51 crimes in July 2025, translating to a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 people. This figure is 26.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (17 incidents, 33.3% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (13 incidents, 25.5%). These figures align with the area's character as a built-up district within North Tyneside, where community-focused policing and local engagement initiatives may contribute to sustained lower rates. July, a peak summer month marked by festivals and extended daylight hours, saw a shift in crime patterns. While violent crime remained stable, the seasonal context—schools out of session and increased foot traffic in public spaces—likely influenced the distribution of offences. Anti-social behaviour, often linked to alcohol consumption in social settings, accounted for a significant share of reported incidents. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Shiremoor (2.1 per 1,000) was 31% below the UK average, suggesting effective local measures in addressing such crimes. However, the absence of major events or large-scale gatherings in July may have mitigated potential spikes in public order offences. This data illustrates how seasonal rhythms and local demographics shape crime profiles, even within a relatively low-crime area.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends compared to June. Theft from the person increased by 100% (from 0 to 1 incident), while bicycle theft also rose by 100% (from 0 to 1). Other theft surged by 100% (from 2 to 4), indicating potential vulnerabilities in personal security during the summer months. Conversely, shoplifting decreased by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), possibly due to fewer retail opportunities or heightened police visibility in high-street areas. Violence and sexual offences fell by 32% (from 25 to 17), a decline that may reflect the absence of major events typically linked to spikes in such crimes during July. Shiremoor’s violent crime rate (2.1 per 1,000) was 31% below the UK average, highlighting the area’s effectiveness in reducing this category. However, anti-social behaviour (1.6 per 1,000) was 3% above the UK average, suggesting challenges in managing community disturbances. Vehicle crime (0.5 per 1,000) was 28% above the national rate, linked to the area’s proximity to transport hubs or commuter routes. Residents might find the 100% increase in theft from the person particularly noteworthy, as it underscores the need for vigilance in crowded public spaces.

Shiremoor’s crime rate in July 2025 (6.3 per 1,000) remained stable compared to June’s rate of 6.4 per 1,000, indicating no significant month-on-month fluctuation. Over the course of the month, this equated to roughly 2 crimes per day—a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the area’s consistent performance in maintaining public safety. On a population scale, 1 reported crime occurred for every 159 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic provides context for residents: even with the 100% increase in certain crime types, the overall burden of crime remains relatively light. The daily crime count of 2 incidents—often spread across different locations—suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime on a regular basis. Comparing Shiremoor to the UK average, the area’s violent crime rate is 31% lower, while anti-social behaviour is only 3% above, illustrating a balanced approach to addressing different crime categories. This stability, combined with the area’s lower overall rate, positions Shiremoor as a safer environment than the national average, despite minor fluctuations in specific offence types.
