Marske-by-the-Sea Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw Marske-by-the-Sea's crime rate climb to 8.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 1.2% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This slight increase aligns with seasonal patterns, as the area transitions into summer—a period typically marked by higher foot traffic and tourism in coastal regions. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.3% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (30.5%) and shoplifting (18.6%). These figures suggest a combination of local demographics and seasonal activity. The surge in anti-social behaviour, which was 76% above the UK average, may be attributed to the area's proximity to popular coastal attractions, which draw visitors during the summer months. Similarly, the rise in shoplifting—138% above the UK average—could be linked to increased retail activity as tourism begins. However, the drop in burglary rates, 64% below the UK average, indicates that targeted measures or natural deterrents may be effective in this built-up area. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of the tourist season, likely contributes to the observed trends. While the overall rate remains relatively low compared to larger urban centres, the data underscores the need for vigilance in public spaces and community engagement to address emerging patterns.

June 2025 marked a notable shift in Marske-by-the-Sea's crime profile, with several categories showing significant changes. Robbery incidents surged by 100%, rising from zero to one reported case, a stark contrast to the previous month. Shoplifting also saw an 83.3% increase, jumping from six to 11 cases, which places it 138% above the UK average. This sharp rise may be linked to the start of the summer season, when tourism begins to increase in coastal areas. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 66.7%, dropping from three to one incident, a decline that positions the area 64% below the UK average. The most common crime type—violence and sexual offences—remained 8% above the UK average, a trend that could be influenced by the area's social dynamics during peak tourist months. Residents may find the daily crime count of two incidents per day particularly relevant, as it highlights the need for continued awareness in public spaces.

Marske-by-the-Sea's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 3.5% compared to the previous month, reaching 8.2 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a broader shift in the crime profile. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 122 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. Daily crime activity averaged two incidents per day, a rate that, while low, underscores the need for consistent community vigilance. When compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, Marske-by-the-Sea's rate places it slightly above the national benchmark. The population context reveals that even small changes in crime rates can have measurable impacts on residents, particularly in a built-up area where community cohesion is critical. This monthly exposure metric, while not directly comparable to UK-wide figures, provides a local lens through which residents can gauge their personal risk profile.
