Edwalton Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Edwalton's crime profile in April 2025 reveals a marked dominance of violent crime over property crime, a pattern that may reflect local demographics and seasonal activity. With a total crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 36.4% below the UK average, a figure that underscores its comparative safety. The breakdown of incidents shows violence and sexual offences accounting for 35.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 21.4%. This violent crime predominance contrasts with the UK average, where property crime typically holds a larger share. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and springtime—may partly explain this trend, as increased outdoor activity and community events could heighten interpersonal interactions. However, property crime remains relatively low, with burglary at 14.3% of total incidents and shoplifting at just 3.6%, both well below the UK average. This suggests that Edwalton's built-up area within a rural district may have unique characteristics, such as a smaller population or community-focused policing, that contribute to its lower property crime rates. The balance between violent and property crime may also indicate underlying social dynamics, such as a higher proportion of younger residents or localised issues requiring targeted attention. While the overall rate is low, the rise in violent crime compared to March highlights the need for continued monitoring of local patterns.

April 2025 saw a 500% surge in anti-social behaviour, rising from one to six incidents, a stark contrast to the previous month. This spike may partly reflect increased community activity during the Easter period. Meanwhile, burglary rates doubled, increasing from two to four cases, though this remains 159% above the UK average for the category. Violent crimes, at 10 incidents, constitute 35.7% of total crimes, a share that highlights a shift in the crime mix compared to property-focused trends. Violent crime in Edwalton is 35% below the UK average, suggesting local factors may mitigate some risks. The decrease in criminal damage and arson by 75% (from four to one) could indicate seasonal changes in outdoor activity or targeted interventions. Residents may find the 1-in-206 monthly exposure figure useful for understanding local crime context.

Edwalton's crime rate in April 2025 rose to 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a 27.3% increase from March's 3.8 per 1,000. This brings the monthly exposure to one reported crime for roughly every 206 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day across 30 days, a metric that highlights the frequency of incidents in a small built-up area. While this rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the upward trend from the previous month suggests a shift in local dynamics. The increase may partly reflect seasonal factors, such as Easter-related activity or changes in outdoor engagement during spring. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the absolute number of crimes is low, the relative rise compared to March warrants attention to ongoing patterns.
