Chiswell Green Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Chiswell Green’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure 48.1% below the UK average of 8.1. This low rate, despite the rising prominence of violent crimes, suggests a unique interplay of local factors that keep overall crime levels subdued. The top two crime types—violence and sexual offences (36% of total) and anti-social behaviour (28%)—reflect a pattern where interpersonal conflicts and disruptive conduct dominate over more traditional property crimes. While violent crimes rose sharply to nine incidents, they remain significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a statistic that may be influenced by the area’s relatively stable community environment. Property-related crimes, though slightly higher in count (eight incidents), are distributed across categories like other theft, shoplifting, and vehicle crime, all of which fall below national averages. The seasonal context of June—a time when summer begins and daylight hours increase—may contribute to the rise in anti-social behaviour, as public spaces become more frequented and social interactions intensify. However, the absence of significant spikes in property crimes, despite the area’s built-up character, hints at effective local policing or community engagement efforts. The balance between property and violent crimes, with the latter now slightly ahead, raises questions about whether this reflects a temporary trend or a deeper shift in the area’s crime profile. As the summer months progress, this dynamic will warrant closer monitoring to ensure that rising violent incidents do not undermine the area’s otherwise low-crime reputation.

June 2025 saw dramatic fluctuations in crime types, with violent and sexual offences surging by 200% compared to May, rising from three to nine incidents. This marked increase, though still below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, signals a significant shift in local crime dynamics. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 133.3%, jumping from three to seven cases, potentially linked to the start of summer and increased social activity. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 66.7%, dropping from six to two incidents—a decline that may reflect seasonal changes in outdoor activity or targeted community initiatives. Theft from the person was 33% above the UK average, a rare outlier in an otherwise low-crime area. This imbalance between property and violent crimes, with the latter now outpacing property crimes, may indicate evolving challenges in community safety that require tailored responses.

In June 2025, Chiswell Green’s crime rate rose by 78.9% compared to the previous month, climbing from 2.3 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though still well below the UK average of 8.1, reflects a shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 241 residents. While this suggests a low baseline risk, the upward trend warrants attention. The population of 6,029 means that each resident faces a 0.042% chance of experiencing a crime in a given month, a statistic that contextualises the rate within the community’s size. The rise in violent and anti-social crimes, despite the overall low rate, indicates a potential realignment in criminal activity patterns that may be influenced by seasonal factors or local events. This data underscores the need for ongoing monitoring, particularly as the summer months bring increased foot traffic and social activity to the area.
