Studley Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

July 2025 saw a notable shift in Studley's crime profile, with certain categories spiking despite an overall rate of 4.8 crimes per 1,000 residents—44.2% below the UK average of 8.6. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (31% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (28%) and other theft (14%). This pattern contrasts with typical seasonal trends in similar areas, where summer often sees spikes in property crime linked to tourism or festivals. However, Studley’s figures diverge, with violent crime remaining lower than the UK average (51% below) and anti-social behaviour also well below (16% below). The low rate of shoplifting (69% below UK average) suggests fewer retail opportunities or heightened awareness in the town centre, though this may be offset by the doubling of burglary and criminal damage cases. The month’s peak summer conditions—schools out, festivals, and increased foot traffic—could have created conditions for targeted crimes. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas with transient populations or during late-night events.

July 2025 marked a 100% increase in burglary and criminal damage and arson, both rising from one incident to two. This spike, coupled with a 60% rise in anti-social behaviour (from five to eight cases), signals a troubling trend in property-related and disruptive crimes. While shoplifting fell sharply by 80% (from five to one incident), this reduction may reflect seasonal retail closures or heightened police presence during July’s busy events. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 18.2%, though they still accounted for 31% of all crimes, remaining a persistent concern. Studley’s other theft category (14% of total crimes) exceeded the UK average by 27%, suggesting local vulnerabilities in personal property security. Residents should be especially alert to unattended vehicles and unsecured homes during the summer’s extended evenings and festivals.

Studley’s crime rate in July 2025 (4.8 per 1,000) represents a 6.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.1, indicating a slight improvement in overall safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period—a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. When scaled to the population of 6,056, this translates to one reported crime for every 209 residents over the course of the month, a monthly exposure rate significantly lower than the UK average. However, the doubling of burglary and criminal damage cases highlights localized risks that may not be fully captured by aggregate figures. This contrast between the area’s overall safety and specific spikes in certain crime types suggests that while Studley remains relatively secure compared to the UK, targeted efforts may be needed to address emerging issues. The 1-in-209 monthly exposure rate is a useful benchmark for residents, offering context on how rare crime is in their community relative to national trends.
