Deeping St James Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Deeping St James' crime rate in July 2025 stood at 3.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 60.5% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures highlights the area's generally low crime profile. Violent crimes dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 65% of all incidents, with 13 cases reported compared to just two in June. This category's rate of 2.2 per 1,000 was 28% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of local factors that may contribute to lower violent crime rates despite the recent surge. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.5 per 1,000, was 68% below the UK average, while public order offences (0.3 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000) also lagged significantly behind national benchmarks. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, with schools out, tourism in full swing, and festivals—likely influenced patterns, though the sharp increase in violent crime remains unexplained by typical summer dynamics. The area's small, built-up nature may contribute to lower crime rates, but the sudden rise in violence warrants attention. Property crimes remained minimal, with only two incidents (0.3 per 1,000), indicating a focus on personal safety over theft in this month's data. As a small community within South Kesteven, Deeping St James' crime profile reflects a mix of rural tranquility and localized spikes that challenge its otherwise low-risk reputation.

July 2025 marked a dramatic shift in Deeping St James' crime profile, with violent crimes surging by 550% from June's two incidents to 13 reported cases. This spike, which outpaced all other categories, accounted for 65% of total crimes, significantly exceeding the UK average for violent crimes (3.0 per 1,000). Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 25%, declining from four to three incidents, a rare decrease in an otherwise volatile month. Shoplifting and criminal damage both rose by 100% from zero to one incident each, though these remained far below UK averages (0.7 and 0.6 per 1,000 respectively). The violent crime surge may partly explain the area's 186.7% monthly increase in crime rate, despite property crimes remaining minimal. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in public spaces, given the sharp rise in violent incidents.

Deeping St James' crime rate in July 2025 rose sharply to 3.4 per 1,000 residents, marking an 186.7% increase from the previous month's 1.2 per 1,000. This surge contrasts with the area's historical trend of low crime, particularly when compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in July, a figure that, while modest, highlights the intensity of the month's spikes. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 291 residents, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK's higher national exposure. With a population of 5,821, the area's small size means that even a modest number of crimes can feel impactful to residents. This monthly exposure figure, while not directly comparable to UK-wide data, offers a local perspective on how crime affects daily life in Deeping St James.
