South Holland Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

South Holland’s crime profile in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property-related offences, shaped by the area’s character and seasonal rhythms. With a crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 residents—13.6% below the UK average—the local authority district demonstrates a marked divergence from national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.8% of all crimes, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This elevated share of violent crime may reflect the influence of local demographics, such as a higher proportion of young adults or the presence of nightlife areas that contribute to such incidents. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, occurred at a rate of 1.7 per 1,000, 20% above the UK average, suggesting persistent challenges in managing public spaces, possibly exacerbated by the start of the summer season and increased foot traffic. Meanwhile, property crimes such as criminal damage and arson were 14% below the UK average, indicating effective local measures or environmental factors that deter such activity. The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of summer—likely plays a role in these patterns, with longer daylight hours influencing both criminal activity and police visibility. However, the overall crime rate remains below the UK average, suggesting that South Holland’s approach to community policing and crime prevention has yielded positive results, even as specific categories remain areas of concern.

June 2025 saw a striking 138.5% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 13 to 31 incidents, a shift that may reflect changes in local traffic patterns or vehicle security measures. Conversely, shoplifting decreased by 34.9%, with incidents dropping from 43 to 28, potentially linked to summer tourism trends or increased retail security. Anti-social behaviour remained 20% above the UK average, highlighting persistent challenges in managing public spaces. Meanwhile, crimes related to drugs surged by 36.4%, indicating a possible increase in substance-related activity that could be tied to seasonal factors. These fluctuations in specific categories reveal a combination of local dynamics and broader national trends, with some areas of South Holland aligning closely with UK averages while others diverge significantly.

South Holland’s crime rate in June 2025 rose 4.2% from 6.7 to 7.0 per 1,000 residents compared to May, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 23 reported crimes each day, a figure that underscores the consistent presence of criminal activity in local communities. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 144 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population of 99,298. This monthly exposure rate, while lower than the UK average, highlights the need for sustained community engagement and policing strategies. The increase in vehicle crime and drugs-related offences, alongside the decrease in shoplifting, suggests shifting patterns that may align with seasonal or local factors. However, the overall rate remains 13.6% below the UK average, indicating that South Holland continues to perform better than the national benchmark in managing crime.
