Werrington Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Werrington’s crime rate for June 2025 stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 55.6% below the UK average of 8.1. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relative safety, though it is not without its challenges. The most common crimes were anti-social behaviour (30.4% of total incidents), followed by violence and sexual offences (26.1%) and criminal damage and arson (8.7%). These figures suggest a focus on community disorder and property-related issues, with anti-social behaviour likely driven by the start of summer and increased social activity in the built-up area. The lower-than-average rates for violent crime—particularly a 65% gap compared to the UK average for violence and sexual offences—may reflect Werrington’s rural character and limited nightlife infrastructure, which typically correlate with lower violent crime. However, the seasonal context of June introduces complexities: while longer days and tourism could contribute to anti-social behaviour, they may also reduce opportunities for more serious crimes. The data also reveals a slight imbalance in certain categories, such as drugs-related incidents being 11% above the UK average, a figure that, while modest, warrants attention given the area’s otherwise low crime profile. These patterns highlight the need for targeted interventions during peak summer months, balancing community engagement with policing priorities.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in drugs-related crimes, rising from zero to two incidents, a significant shift compared to the previous month. This rise, though still below the UK average by 11%, may reflect changing local patterns or increased police visibility in specific areas. Concurrently, vehicle crime also doubled, with one incident reported, a sharp contrast to May’s zero cases. This uptick could be linked to seasonal tourism or changes in parking habits. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences dropped by 64.7%, from 17 to 6, a decrease that aligns with the area’s generally low violent crime profile. Anti-social behaviour rose by 16.7%, from six to seven incidents, a modest increase that may partly reflect the start of summer activities. Residents should remain vigilant around local events, where anti-social behaviour could be more prevalent.

Werrington's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 28.3% compared to the previous month, dropping from 5.1 to 3.6 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader seasonal pattern observed in rural and semi-rural areas, where crime typically stabilises during summer months. On a daily basis, 23 total crimes reported over 30 days equate to roughly one crime per day, a figure that may reflect the area’s relatively low population density and limited urban infrastructure. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 275 residents, a statistic that provides context for community safety planning. While this rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the variation in crime type distribution—such as the 11% increase in drugs-related incidents compared to the UK average—suggests localized factors may be influencing certain categories. These figures underscore the importance of maintaining local policing priorities while acknowledging the broader regional context.
