Measham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Measham, the built-up area within North West Leicestershire, the crime rate for June 2025 stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents—40.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This places the area among the safer communities in the country, though the data reveals a combination of crime types and local context. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.3% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.4%) and other theft (15.4%). These figures suggest that interpersonal conflicts and minor property crimes remain the most pressing concerns for residents. The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the start of summer, may influence patterns of activity, though Measham’s low crime rate indicates that community dynamics or local infrastructure likely contribute to this relative safety. Violent crime in Measham is 30% below the UK average for this category, which could reflect the area’s smaller, more closely knit nature compared to larger urban centres. However, the presence of anti-social behaviour at 51% below the UK average suggests that while serious violence is rare, minor disturbances remain a consistent feature of the local crime picture. The absence of major theft or burglary incidents—unlike in some UK areas—may indicate effective community policing or a lower density of high-value assets in the built-up area. These numbers, when translated to everyday risk, imply that for the average resident of Measham, the chance of experiencing a violent crime is significantly lower than the national average, though vigilance in public spaces remains prudent given the presence of anti-social behaviour.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in Measham’s crime profile. Robbery, anti-social behaviour, and drug-related incidents each doubled compared to May 2025, marking a stark increase in specific categories. Robbery, for instance, rose from zero to one incident—a 100% increase—while anti-social behaviour and drug offences also saw identical jumps. These spikes may be attributed to seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic during summer evenings or the easing of restrictions post-lockdown. Conversely, vehicle crime and criminal damage and arson both declined sharply, with vehicle crime dropping by 71.4% (from seven to two incidents) and criminal damage falling by 66.7% (from six to two). This shift could reflect the reduced presence of parked vehicles during warmer months or improved community monitoring of public spaces. While Measham’s overall crime rate remains well below the UK average, certain categories stand out: robbery in the area is 82% above the UK average (0.2 vs 0.1 per 1,000), suggesting a unique local challenge that may require targeted interventions. In contrast, anti-social behaviour is 51% below the UK average, indicating that while minor disturbances occur, they are less frequent than in many other parts of the country. These figures highlight the importance of context-specific analysis, as the same crime type may carry different implications depending on the area’s character and demographics.

Compared to May 2025, Measham’s crime rate decreased by 7.1%, from 5.2 to 4.8 per 1,000 residents. This monthly decline suggests a temporary stabilization in crime trends. On a daily basis, Measham recorded roughly one crime per day in June, a figure that, while small, underscores the need for ongoing vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 207 residents—a statistic that, when contextualized, illustrates the relatively low frequency of incidents in a community of 5,386 people. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which would equate to a much higher number of crimes per capita. The population-scaled perspective further emphasizes that Measham’s residents face a markedly lower risk of encountering crime than the national average. However, the spikes in robbery, anti-social behaviour, and drug-related incidents in June highlight the volatility of local crime patterns, even within a historically low-risk area. These fluctuations may be influenced by factors such as local events, weather changes, or shifts in community activity, but the overall trend of declining crime rates suggests that the area’s safety measures are likely effective. For residents, the data reinforces that while the likelihood of experiencing crime is low, awareness of emerging trends—such as the recent increase in robbery—remains important for personal safety.
