Edwalton Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Edwalton, 4 crimes were reported in August 2025 — a figure 50.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of approximately 1 crime for every 251 residents over the course of the month. The area’s crime profile reflects a balance between interpersonal and property-related incidents, with violence and sexual offences (9 cases) and anti-social behaviour (8 cases) forming the largest share of reported crimes. These figures suggest a community where public safety concerns are relatively contained, though the seasonal context of August — a peak holiday month with increased tourism — may partly explain the modest uptick in specific crime types. While the overall rate remains well below the UK average, the breakdown highlights a mix of local factors, including the influence of transient populations during August’s extended school holidays and the potential impact of empty homes increasing burglary risk. The low level of shoplifting (1 case) and vehicle crime (1 case) compared to the UK average underscores Edwalton’s relatively secure retail and transport environments, though the 100% increase in other theft cases indicates shifting patterns that warrant closer attention. This data illustrates a community where crime prevention efforts appear to be functioning effectively, but where targeted interventions could further reduce the small number of incidents that do occur.

August 2025 saw a 100% increase in shoplifting, with one reported case — a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, which Edwalton’s figure is 68% below. Other theft also rose sharply, from zero to four cases, though this category remains 37% above the UK average. Meanwhile, violent crimes fell by 25% compared to July, dropping from 12 to 9 cases. This shift suggests a potential reduction in local tensions or successful community policing efforts. Anti-social behaviour, however, increased by 60%, rising from five to eight cases — a trend that, while still 4% below the UK average, indicates a need for targeted measures. The crime mix in Edwalton remains skewed toward interpersonal incidents, with 39.1% of total crimes classified as violence and sexual offences, compared to 34.8% for anti-social behaviour. This balance differs from the UK profile, where violence and sexual offences account for 44% of all crimes. Residents may find the daily crime context particularly useful: with 23 crimes reported over 31 days, the average resident faces a 1-in-251 chance of encountering a crime during the month. These figures highlight both the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies and the areas where further investment could yield meaningful improvements.

Edwalton’s crime rate in August 2025 remained stable compared to July, with no change in the overall rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests that the area’s broader crime prevention measures have maintained their effectiveness over the past month. On a daily basis, the average resident of Edwalton experienced one reported crime for every 251 people over the course of the month — a figure that, while illustrative of the community’s low-crime environment, also highlights the tangible impact of even small numbers of incidents. When scaled to the area’s population of 5,770, this translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 251 residents, a metric that underscores the relative safety of Edwalton compared to larger urban centres. The comparison to the UK average further reinforces this perspective: Edwalton’s rate is more than half that of the national average, reflecting a combination of local factors such as its built-up character, limited retail density, and the seasonal dynamics of August. While the UK average includes areas with higher concentrations of violent crime and property theft, Edwalton’s profile demonstrates how geographic and demographic characteristics can shape crime patterns. This data provides a clear benchmark for residents, showing that the area’s crime risk is significantly lower than the national average, though targeted efforts to address specific increases — such as the rise in other theft — could further enhance this already favourable position.
