Redcar and Cleveland Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2025, Redcar and Cleveland recorded 1,567 crimes across a population of 139,228 residents, translating to a crime rate of 11.3 per 1,000 individuals. This figure is 52.7% above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area's distinct criminal profile. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (488 incidents, 31.1% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (327 incidents, 20.9%) and criminal damage and arson (161 incidents, 10.3%). These patterns align with the area's seasonal context, as September marks the return of students to schools and universities, potentially contributing to increased anti-social behaviour. The high rate of violent crime may also reflect local socioeconomic factors, though direct causation cannot be confirmed without further data. The prevalence of property crimes, such as shoplifting (124 incidents) and burglary (104 incidents), suggests ongoing vulnerabilities in retail and residential sectors. Seasonal factors, including the transition to shorter evenings and the start of the academic year, may influence crime trends, though their precise role remains to be explored. The data also highlights significant disparities compared to the UK average, particularly in violent and anti-social offences, which were 36% and 105% above national rates respectively. This contrast raises questions about local conditions that may amplify these crime types, though further investigation is needed to identify specific drivers.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with theft from the person increasing by 100% (from 1 to 2 incidents) and other crime rising by 33.3% (from 42 to 56). These increases contrast with decreases in bicycle theft (-66.7%) and vehicle crime (-33.8%), suggesting potential changes in criminal activity focus. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.1% of all incidents, a rate 36% above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.4 per 1,000, was 105% above the UK average, indicating a significant local challenge. The sharp rise in other crime, which includes a range of unspecified offences, may signal emerging trends requiring further analysis. Meanwhile, the drop in vehicle crime could reflect seasonal factors, such as reduced car usage as nights draw in.

Redcar and Cleveland's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 11.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 10.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 12.6 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, suggests a potential stabilisation in local crime trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 52 reported crimes, a figure that translates to roughly one crime for every 89 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate highlights the frequency of crime in the area relative to its population of 139,228. When compared to the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, the local rate remains higher, though the month-on-month reduction indicates a possible shift in patterns. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime than the national average, a dynamic that may be influenced by local factors such as economic conditions, community engagement, or seasonal transitions.
