Rushmoor Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Rushmoor's crime profile in June 2025, contributing to 38.7% of all reported crimes. This category, at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, sits 16% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a notable contrast to the local spike in public order offences. The overall crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 23.5% reduction compared to the UK's 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a combination of effective policing and community factors. As the start of summer, longer daylight hours and increased social activity in public spaces may contribute to the elevated proportion of violent crimes, though this remains consistent with historical patterns in similar urban areas. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, is 51% below the UK average, suggesting strong community engagement or robust local initiatives. Property crimes, including shoplifting and burglary, collectively account for 41% of the total, but remain significantly below UK averages, potentially linked to Rushmoor's lower retail density compared to major urban centres. Seasonal dynamics, such as the early onset of tourism in nearby coastal regions, may indirectly influence crime trends, though no direct correlation is evident in the data.

June 2025 saw a stark 88.9% increase in 'other crime' incidents, rising from 9 to 17, a shift that may reflect evolving criminal tactics or unreported activity. Public order offences surged by 31.3%, from 67 to 88, marking a 36% gap above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This could indicate heightened tensions in public spaces during summer months or challenges in managing crowds near local amenities. Conversely, robbery and theft from the person dropped by 66.7% and 57.1% respectively, with the latter falling to 3 incidents—100% below the UK average. Bicycle theft, at 5 incidents, rose 25% from 4 to 5, a minor but noteworthy increase that may align with summer cycling trends. The crime mix reveals a 63% violent crime share (253 incidents) compared to 37% property crime, a balance skewed toward interpersonal conflict. While violent crime remains 16% below the UK average, the local spike in public order offences highlights a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic areas.

Rushmoor's crime rate in June 2025 (6.2 per 1,000) represents a 13.3% decline from the previous month's 7.1 per 1,000, indicating a sustained downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experiences approximately 22 crimes per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 162 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while low compared to UK averages, underscores Rushmoor's relatively safe environment, particularly given its population of 105,751. The drop in robbery and theft from the person—both 100% below UK averages—suggests that local measures, such as improved lighting or community policing, may be effective in deterring opportunistic crimes. However, the 36% gap in public order offences above the UK average raises questions about the effectiveness of current strategies in managing public spaces. With a population-scaled perspective, each resident has a 0.6% chance of being a victim of a violent crime and a 0.06% chance for property-related incidents, figures that are significantly lower than national benchmarks.
