Rutland Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rutland’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 48.1% below the UK average of 8.1. This marked a continued trend of lower-than-national crime levels, consistent with Rutland’s rural character and sparse population density. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 40.8% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (12.1%) and vehicle crime (8.6%). The seasonal shift into summer may have influenced patterns, as tourism begins to increase in rural areas, though Rutland’s low population density likely limits the scale of such impacts. Vehicle crime, while rising slightly, remains below the UK average, possibly reflecting the area’s limited urban infrastructure and fewer high-traffic zones. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, may be tied to local community dynamics in smaller, closely-knit rural settlements. The overall crime rate highlights Rutland’s position as a relatively safe area, though the dominance of violent crime suggests targeted efforts may be needed to address specific local issues.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in June 2025 was a 160% increase in 'Other crime', rising from 5 to 13 incidents. This surge, though still low in absolute terms, may signal emerging patterns or unaddressed issues requiring further attention. Concurrently, vehicle crime rose by 15.4% (13 to 15), potentially linked to increased summer travel or seasonal shifts in vehicle usage. Burglary also climbed by 14.3% (7 to 8), though it remains well below the UK average. Conversely, drug-related offences fell by 42.9% (7 to 4), a decline that could reflect seasonal trends or local enforcement efforts. Rutland’s violent crime rate (1.7 per 1,000) is 41% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) is 65% lower. These figures reinforce the area’s generally low crime profile, though the sharp rise in 'Other crime' underscores the need for ongoing monitoring. Residents may find the 48.1% gap from the UK average particularly relevant when assessing local safety relative to national trends.

June 2025 saw Rutland’s crime rate fall to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 6.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.5. This decline, while modest, aligns with the area’s historically low crime levels. On a daily basis, Rutland recorded an average of six crimes per day in June, a figure that, when scaled to the population, equates to one reported crime for every 238 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, reflecting both the area’s small population and its rural character. Comparing Rutland to the UK context, its violent crime rate is 41% below the national average, and anti-social behaviour is 65% lower. These disparities highlight the unique dynamics of a rural district, where community cohesion and limited urban infrastructure may contribute to lower crime rates. However, the 160% increase in 'Other crime' suggests that while Rutland remains safer than the UK average overall, specific categories require closer scrutiny. For residents, the low daily crime count and monthly exposure rate offer reassurance, but the sharp rise in one category serves as a reminder that even low-crime areas can experience sudden shifts.
