Whitworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 112 residents in Whitworth, one reported crime occurred in June 2025 — a rate of 8.9 per 1,000, placing the area 9.9% above the UK average of 8.1. This translates to a daily risk of approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects patterns shaped by the area’s mix of residential and commercial spaces. Anti-social behaviour emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 44.4% of all crimes, with 24 incidents recorded. This rate of 4.0 per 1,000 is starkly higher than the UK average of 1.4, suggesting a concentration of disruptive incidents in public areas, possibly linked to local hotspots or seasonal dynamics. Violence and sexual offences followed, contributing 31.5% of the total.8 per 1,000 — 2% below the UK average. This balance between property and violent crime may reflect a combination of factors, including the area’s urban character and the timing of the month. June, with its longer daylight hours and the onset of summer, may have influenced activity patterns to tourism or seasonal events. Shoplifting and public order offences also showed elevated rates, with both 11–19% above UK averages, hinting at possible pressures on retail or community spaces during this period.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in public order and vehicle crime, both rising by 300% and 200% respectively compared to May. Public order offences jumped from 1 to 4, a surge that may be linked to heightened community events or summer-related gatherings. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, tripled from 1 to 3, reflecting increased parking activity in local areas. Anti-social behaviour, the largest category, fell by 11.1% to 24 incidents — a slight decline that could indicate early success in local initiatives or a natural fluctuation in seasonal activity. Violence and sexual offences also decreased by 5.6%, though this remains below the UK average. Shoplifting rose by 100% to 4 incidents, a figure 11% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This may partly explain the elevated retail crime rates, tied to increased foot traffic or summer shopping patterns. The area’s anti-social behaviour rate of 4.0 per 1,000 is 182% above the UK average, a stark figure that underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones. These shifts highlight a combination of local dynamics and broader trends, though further data would be needed to confirm causation.

Whitworth’s crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 5.2% compared to May’s 9.4 per 1,000, yet it remains 9.9% above the UK average. This monthly decline may reflect the natural ebb of seasonal pressures, though the area’s rate continues to outpace national figures. On a daily basis, residents faced approximately 2 crimes per day — a figure that, while not alarming, illustrates the persistent presence of crime in local life. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 112 residents experienced a reported crime, a ratio that contextualizes risk in personal terms. With a population of 6,062, this suggests that most residents remain unaffected, but the elevated rates in specific categories like anti-social behaviour and public order offences highlight areas requiring attention. The comparison to the UK average also reveals disparities: while violence and sexual offences are slightly below the national rate, anti-social behaviour and shoplifting are significantly higher. These contrasts may reflect Whitworth’s unique demographic or geographic factors, such as a higher concentration of younger residents or limited policing resources. direct causes, but the interplay between local conditions and national trends is evident in these figures.
