Stockton-on-Tees Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 206,800, Stockton-on-Tees reported 2,236 crimes in June 2025, equating to 10.8 crimes per 1,000 residents. This rate is 33.3% higher than the UK average of 8.1, underscoring the area’s distinct challenges in crime prevention. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.2% of all incidents (742 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.5%, 504 cases) and criminal damage and arson (10.1%, 226 cases). These figures align with Stockton-on-Tees’ historical profile as a town with a mix of urban and industrial characteristics, where public spaces and community hubs may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour. The seasonal context of June—the start of summer—may have influenced patterns, with longer daylight hours increasing opportunities for certain crimes, such as anti-social behaviour. However, the area’s crime rate remains consistently elevated compared to the UK, suggesting systemic factors beyond seasonal trends. The dominance of violent crime and property-related offences highlights the need for targeted strategies to address underlying issues such as social cohesion, economic pressures, and community engagement. While the UK average includes a broad range of areas, Stockton-on-Tees’ specific challenges—such as its industrial legacy and urban density—may require tailored approaches to reduce crime effectively.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. Theft from the person rose by 60% compared to May, with 8 incidents reported—up from 5. This increase, while modest in absolute terms, may reflect heightened public activity during the summer months. Robbery also rose by 30.4%, with 30 incidents recorded, linked to seasonal changes in foot traffic or local events. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 33.3%, from 12 to 8, a decline that could indicate improved security measures or reduced demand for stolen bikes during the warmer months. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent issue, with 504 incidents—22.5% of all crimes—surpassing the UK average by 69%. This category’s dominance highlights ongoing challenges in community management, particularly in areas with high population density or public spaces. Burglary, at 94 incidents, was 79% above the UK average, suggesting vulnerabilities in property security that may require targeted interventions.

Stockton-on-Tees’ crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 10.8 per 1,000 residents, a 1.3% decrease from May’s 11.0. This consistency suggests no major spikes or dips in overall criminal activity during the month. Translating this to daily figures, the area experienced an average of 75 crimes per day, reflecting the persistent nature of local crime patterns. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 92 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents in a community of 206,800. While this figure is slightly lower than May’s rate, it remains significantly above the UK average. The population context underscores that even small shifts in crime rates can have measurable impacts on residents, particularly in areas where crime is already elevated. The stability in the rate may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of summer, which can see increased activity in public spaces but also longer daylight hours that may deter some crimes.
