Woodville Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Woodville's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 39.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national trends, particularly in violent crime categories. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 24.4% of all reported crimes, significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000 (58% below). However, the area's crime picture reveals nuanced patterns: criminal damage and arson occurred at 1.0 per 1,000, 72% above the UK average, suggesting localized pressures in property-related incidents. Public order offences also exceeded national rates by 36%, potentially linked to seasonal factors like increased social activity as summer began. The area's built-up character within South Derbyshire, likely featuring a mix of residential and commercial spaces, may contribute to these dynamics. While violent crime remains low, the higher rates of property crime and public disorder indicate areas for focused attention. Seasonal context plays a role, with June marking the start of longer days and potential shifts in community behaviour, though the area's overall safety metrics remain strong compared to national benchmarks.

June 2025 saw dramatic fluctuations in specific crime categories, with other theft surging by 600% (from 1 to 7 incidents) and public order offences rising 250% (from 2 to 7). These spikes, though modest in absolute terms, underscore sudden shifts in local dynamics. Criminal damage and arson also rose sharply by 166.7%, possibly tied to summer-related activities or targeted vandalism. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, and violence and sexual offences dropped by 47.4%, aligning with the broader trend of Woodville's overall crime rate being 39.5% below the UK average. The area's violence and sexual offence rate of 1.2 per 1,000 (24.4% of total crimes) is 58% below the UK average, a striking contrast to the 72% increase in criminal damage and arson. For residents, the 600% jump in other theft—a category encompassing items like stolen goods from shops or vehicles—may signal heightened awareness needs during summer months. This month's data reveals a mixed picture: while violent crime remains subdued, property-related and disorder incidents demand closer scrutiny.

Woodville's crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 in June 2025 represents a 5.1% increase from the previous month's 4.7 per 1,000, reflecting minor but measurable fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day over 30 days, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of 1 reported crime for every 203 residents. This ratio, while low, contrasts with the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, emphasizing Woodville's relative safety. The population context further illustrates this: with 8,338 residents, the area's low crime rate suggests effective community policing or environmental factors reducing opportunities for crime. However, the month-on-month rise in specific categories like criminal damage and arson raises questions about localized triggers. The 5.1% increase in overall rate, though small, must be weighed against the broader context of sustained low crime levels. Residents may find the 1-in-203 monthly exposure figure reassuring, though the spikes in certain crime types highlight the need for targeted interventions. Comparing Woodville's data to the UK average underscores the area's distinctiveness, with its violent crime rates remaining below national benchmarks while property-related incidents occasionally exceed them.
