Woodville Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Woodville’s crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.4 per 1,000, placing it 25.6% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure, while showing a 29.3% increase from June’s 4.9, reflects the area’s continued performance as a built-up community with lower-than-national crime levels. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (37.7% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.6%) and other theft (20.8%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of July, a peak summer month marked by school holidays, festivals, and increased tourism. The surge in violence and sexual offences may be partly explained by the influx of visitors and the extended hours of public activity, though the rate remains below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, while doubling from June, still sits 10% below the UK’s 1.6 per 1,000. Other theft, however, was 136% above the UK average, a stark contrast that may indicate local vulnerabilities such as unmonitored retail areas or transient populations. The lower rates of public order offences (38% below the UK average) and criminal damage (84% below) suggest that the area’s community engagement and event management during July may have contributed to a calmer environment. Overall, Woodville’s crime profile highlights both challenges and strengths in its local policing and community dynamics, with the summer season amplifying certain trends while mitigating others.

July 2025 saw a 100% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 10 to 20 incidents. This surge, though concerning, remains 21% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, with 12 incidents reported, a 10% deficit compared to the UK’s 1.6 per 1,000. Other theft—11 incidents—surpassed the UK average by 136%, highlighting a local trend that may relate to unsecured properties or seasonal retail activity. Conversely, criminal damage and arson dropped by 87.5%, from 8 to 1, potentially influenced by the timing of festivals or community events that deter such acts. Public order offences fell by 57.1%, from 7 to 3, a decline consistent with the area’s quieter summer evenings. These fluctuations illustrate the combination of local conditions and national crime patterns.

Woodville’s crime rate in July 2025 rose by 29.3% compared to June’s 4.9 per 1,000, reaching 6.4 per 1,000. This increase, though notable, remains 25.6% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, Woodville recorded approximately 2 crimes per day in July, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime levels. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 157 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the manageable scale of crime in this built-up area. While the rise in crime may concern residents, the local rate remains significantly lower than national benchmarks, suggesting that Woodville’s community and policing efforts continue to play a role in mitigating criminal activity. The population of 8,338 further contextualises these numbers, highlighting that the impact of crime is distributed across a relatively small and closely knit community.
