Measham Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Measham’s overall crime rate in September 2025 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a 20.3% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.4. This figure reflects a generally safer environment relative to national trends, though the area’s crime profile shows distinct patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.5% of all crimes, followed by vehicle crime (15.6%) and anti-social behaviour (12.5%). The seasonal context of September—typically associated with the start of the academic term and the transition into darker evenings—may contribute to shifts in crime dynamics. For instance, the drop in anti-social behaviour could be influenced by reduced public activity during the early school term, while the rise in vehicle crime might be tied to increased traffic or changes in parking behaviour. Violence and sexual offences, though down from August, remain a significant category, with their rate of 2.2 per 1,000 being 15% below the UK average. This suggests that while Measham faces challenges in certain areas, its overall crime environment is less volatile than the national average. The interplay of these factors underscores the need for targeted local strategies, particularly in addressing vehicle crime and ensuring community safety during seasonal transitions.

September 2025 saw a notable 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from zero to five incidents. This surge, which is 125% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, may be linked to seasonal factors such as the start of the academic term or increased traffic around the area. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 66.7%, from 12 to four incidents, a decrease that is 40% below the UK average for this category. Violent crimes also fell by 25%, from 16 to 12, though they remain higher than the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000). The increase in 'other crime' and drugs-related offences—each rising by 100%—suggests potential gaps in local monitoring or new patterns emerging. These shifts highlight the importance of tracking specific crime types to understand local dynamics and allocate resources effectively.

Measham’s crime rate in September 2025 fell to 5.9 per 1,000 residents, an 18.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.2. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months. below the UK average of 7.4. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day in September, a figure that may reflect the relatively low population density of Measham. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for approximately every 168 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local community. Considering the area’s population of 5,386, this monthly exposure rate suggests a generally stable environment, though fluctuations in specific crime types—such as the sharp rise in vehicle crime—highlight the need for ongoing monitoring. The decrease in violent crimes and anti-social behaviour, coupled with the increase in vehicle-related incidents, may indicate shifting patterns influenced by seasonal factors or local dynamics.
