Stroud Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 125,680, Stroud recorded 813 crimes in June 2025, translating to 6.5 crimes per 1,000 residents. This rate is 19.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a consistent trend that reflects the area's character as a mix of rural and urban environments with relatively low crime exposure. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (296 cases, 36.4% of total), anti-social behaviour (201 cases, 24.7%), and shoplifting (51 cases, 6.3%). These patterns align with Stroud's geography, where the town centre's retail presence likely contributes to shoplifting, while the broader community's social dynamics influence anti-social behaviour. Seasonal factors in June—such as the start of summer and increased tourism—may have influenced the mix of crimes, with higher activity in outdoor spaces potentially reducing public order offences. The rate of violent crime, at 2.4 per 1,000, is 16% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or demographic factors that temper aggression. Shoplifting's 37% deficit compared to the UK average may reflect the area's lower foot traffic in commercial zones or stronger retail security measures. This data illustrates a relatively safe area with crime patterns shaped by both local conditions and broader seasonal trends.

June 2025 saw significant shifts in Stroud's crime profile. Bicycle theft surged by 100%, rising from 4 to 8 incidents, a sharp increase that may reflect seasonal changes as summer activities begin. Other crime also rose sharply, with an 84.2% increase from 19 to 35 cases, a figure that warrants attention given its UK comparison of 87% above the national average. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 45.5%, from 55 to 30, a decline consistent with the start of summer when outdoor events might reduce disorderly conduct. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 36.4% of all crimes, though this rate is 16% below the UK average. The contrast between rising bicycle theft and falling public order offences illustrates a dynamic mix of local factors influencing crime patterns.

Stroud's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 3.9% compared to the previous month, increasing from 6.2 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents. This places the area 19.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, highlighting a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime levels. On a daily basis, 27 crimes were reported each day in June, a figure that contextualises the scale of activity within the local population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 155 residents, a measure that reflects the relative frequency of incidents experienced by individuals. This monthly exposure rate, while modest, underscores the importance of maintaining community-focused policing and public awareness initiatives. When scaled to Stroud's population of 125,680, the total of 813 crimes represents a manageable proportion of daily life, though targeted interventions remain critical for sustaining this trend.
