Werrington Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Werrington, the per-capita risk of experiencing a crime in July 2025 translates to 6.5 incidents per 1,000 residents—24.4% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This rate, while lower than national figures, reflects a notable shift in crime patterns, with violence and sexual offences dominating the landscape. Over half of all reported crimes (21 out of 41) fell into this category, a rate of 3.3 per 1,000 that sits 9% above the UK average. The seasonal context of July—a peak summer month with schools out, festivals, and increased tourism—likely contributes to this spike, as outdoor events and transient populations may heighten vulnerability. Anti-social behaviour, at 7 incidents (1.1 per 1,000), remained 29% below the UK average, suggesting local community measures or environmental factors may be curbing such incidents. Criminal damage and arson, at 4 incidents (0.6 per 1,000), mirrored the UK average, while 'other crime'—a category encompassing unclassified offences—rose sharply, reaching 0.5 per 1,000, 194% above the national rate. These patterns highlight the area’s unique character as a built-up district within a rural landscape, where seasonal fluctuations and localised social dynamics shape crime trends. The relatively low property crime rate (6 incidents, 0.9 per 1,000) contrasts with the UK average, reflecting the area’s lower population density and reduced commercial activity compared to major urban centres. As July’s events unfold, the interplay between tourism, seasonal activity, and local policing efforts will likely remain critical in shaping future crime statistics.

July 2025 saw a 250% surge in violence and sexual offences, rising from 6 to 21 incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average rate of 3.0 per 1,000. This category alone contributed 51.2% of all crimes, significantly outpacing the national trend. Conversely, drug-related crimes dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1, a decline that aligns with the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 7 incidents (1.1 per 1,000), remained 29% below the UK average, suggesting local efforts may be mitigating such incidents. The 200% increase in 'other crime'—from 1 to 3—raises questions about unclassified incidents, though this category’s rate (0.5 per 1,000) still exceeded the UK average by 194%. These shifts underscore a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics, with violence and sexual offences dominating the crime profile.

Werrington's crime rate in July 2025 rose to 6.5 per 1,000 residents, a 78.5% increase from the previous month's 3.6 per 1,000. This shift translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 154 residents over the course of the month—a stark contrast to the 1-in-272 ratio observed in June. Daily crime counts averaged 1.3 per day in July, a figure that, while modest, reflects a noticeable uptick in reported incidents. When contextualised against the area’s population of 6,329, the 41 total crimes represent a localised concentration that, while below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, warrants scrutiny of specific patterns. The monthly exposure statistic—1-in-154 residents experiencing a crime—provides a tangible measure of risk for residents, highlighting that while Werrington remains relatively safe, the increase from June suggests a need for vigilance during the summer season.
