East Leake Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, East Leake’s crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents placed it 33.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall criminal activity. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 45% of all recorded incidents—nearly double the share of property crimes (10 incidents). This dominance of violent crime, despite the summer season’s typical association with increased outdoor activity and tourism, may be influenced by local factors such as the area’s built-up nature and the presence of community spaces that could heighten interpersonal interactions. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences (18 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (7 incidents) and criminal damage and arson (4 incidents). Seasonal context suggests that July’s festivals and extended daylight hours could contribute to a higher incidence of violence, though East Leake’s rate remains significantly lower than the UK average for this category. The area’s crime profile contrasts with the national trend, where property crimes often dominate, indicating a unique local dynamic that may be shaped by factors such as a strong community presence or targeted policing efforts. Vehicle crime (4 incidents) was 54% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be attributed to specific local conditions, such as parking arrangements or traffic patterns. This data illustrates that while East Leake’s crime rate is low, the nature of its criminal activity differs from broader UK patterns, with violent offences playing a more prominent role than in many other areas.

July 2025 saw a notable shift in the crime mix, with violent crimes (18 incidents) far outpacing property crimes (10 incidents). This imbalance, where violent offences constituted 45% of all recorded crimes, contrasts with the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences, which East Leake’s rate of 2.6 per 1,000 is 14% below. The month-on-month changes further highlight fluctuating patterns: burglary and other crime each saw a 100% increase from zero to one incident, while vehicle crime dropped by 42.9% (from seven to four). This decrease in vehicle crime may be linked to reduced parking congestion during school holidays or altered police patrols. Conversely, the rise in burglary could reflect increased home occupancy during the summer, complicating security measures. Anti-social behaviour remained low, at 35% below the UK average, a trend that may be influenced by the area’s tight-knit community dynamics. For residents, the 45% share of violent crimes offers a clear insight into the most pressing local concerns, even as overall rates remain significantly lower than national benchmarks.

East Leake’s crime rate in July 2025 remained stable at 5.7 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no abrupt shifts in overall criminal activity during the period. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that aligns with the low overall rate. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 175 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. When compared to the UK average, East Leake’s rate is 33.7% lower, a gap that underscores the area’s relative safety despite the seasonal factors typically associated with increased activity in July. The population context further illustrates that the 40 recorded crimes represent a small fraction of the 7,001 residents, reinforcing the notion that crime remains a rare occurrence in this built-up area. This stability, even during a peak tourism and festival season, may reflect effective local policing or the area’s demographic characteristics, such as its compact size and community-oriented environment.
