Cam Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cam’s crime mix in June 2025 reveals a distinct pattern shaped by local dynamics and seasonal factors. With a crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents—48.1% below the UK average—the area remains a low-crime environment. However, the distribution of crime types tells a more nuanced story. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 44.4% of all incidents, far exceeding their share in the UK average (34%), while anti-social behaviour made up 36.1%, slightly above the national average. This balance suggests a focus on interpersonal crime, possibly linked to the area’s built-up character and limited commercial activity. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced these patterns. Longer daylight hours and the onset of tourism in nearby rural areas could have reduced opportunities for property crime, aligning with the stark underrepresentation of such offences in Cam. However, the rise in anti-social behaviour may reflect unaddressed social pressures or community-specific challenges. Despite the overall low rate, the prominence of violence and anti-social behaviour indicates a need for targeted strategies to address these issues without compromising the area’s broader safety. The crime mix, therefore, offers a window into Cam’s unique social fabric, where community cohesion and local initiatives likely play a critical role in shaping crime trends.

June 2025 saw a stark shift in Cam’s crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 116.7%—from six to 13 incidents—suggesting a potential uptick in community tensions or unaddressed local issues. This increase contrasts sharply with a 38.5% drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 26 to 16, a decline that may reflect seasonal factors or improved community engagement. Public order offences plummeted by 75%, from four to one, a reduction that could be linked to longer daylight hours and increased community visibility during summer. Cam’s violence rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents—34% below the UK average—stands in contrast to its anti-social behaviour rate, which is 6% above the national average of 1.4 per 1,000. This divergence underscores the area’s unique challenges, where community-based crime (anti-social behaviour) appears to be a growing concern despite overall low crime levels. For residents, the rise in anti-social behaviour may signal a need for targeted interventions, particularly in public spaces where such incidents are most likely to occur.

Cam's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 30.7% from 6.1 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a continued trend of lower-than-average crime. This reduction, though modest, aligns with broader patterns seen in similar built-up areas within Stroud, where community-focused policing and limited commercial activity may contribute to sustained safety. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day—a figure that, while not negligible, underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 237 residents experienced a reported crime, a statistic that highlights the rarity of such events in Cam’s small population. This monthly exposure rate, when contextualised against Cam’s 8,519 residents, suggests that most households are unlikely to encounter crime directly. The population-scaled perspective reinforces the area’s status as a low-crime environment, with the majority of residents living without direct exposure to criminal activity. However, the shift in crime types—particularly the rise in anti-social behaviour—warrants attention to local social dynamics that may influence such trends.
