Church Village Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Church Village maintained a significantly lower crime rate in July 2025, with 3.8 crimes per 1,000 residents—55.8% below the UK average. This performance underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national benchmarks. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.7%) and public order offences (14.8%). These figures align with the area’s seasonal context: July, a peak summer month, typically sees higher foot traffic due to tourism, festivals, and outdoor events. While violence and sexual offences remained 54% below the UK average, the surge in public order offences—doubling from 4 to 8—suggests a possible link to increased social activity during the summer. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK rate, may reflect challenges in managing crowds during local events. The overall crime rate, however, remains a testament to effective community policing or environmental factors that deter criminal activity. This pattern is consistent with Church Village’s character as a built-up area within a rural county, where community engagement and local initiatives may play a role in maintaining lower crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.

July 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with public order offences doubling from 4 to 8, marking a 100% increase. This surge may partly explain the overall rise in the crime rate, though other categories such as criminal damage and arson fell by 33.3%. Violent crimes, however, remained 54% below the UK average, with 20 incidents reported at a rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents. Anti-social behaviour also remained 61% below the national average, at 0.6 per 1,000. Drug-related offences rose from zero to one, a 100% increase, though this still sits 64% below the UK average. These changes illustrate the dynamic nature of local crime trends, where spikes in specific categories can influence broader statistics without necessarily reflecting a widespread increase in criminal activity.

Church Village's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 35.2% compared to June, moving from 2.8 to 3.8 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, remains 55.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 2 crimes per day over the month, reflecting a manageable frequency for a community of 14,219 residents. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 263 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in terms of population scale. While the rate has risen, the overall level of crime remains substantially lower than national benchmarks, suggesting that local factors—such as seasonal events or temporary spikes in specific categories—may be influencing the current trend. This comparison highlights both the progress made in maintaining low crime levels and the need for continued vigilance in addressing emerging patterns.
