Tendring Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Tendring’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 47.2% of all reported crimes and marking a 33% increase above the UK average for this category. This category alone contributes nearly half of the district’s total crimes, underscoring its role as the primary driver of local crime trends. The overall crime rate for Tendring in June was 8.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 1.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. While property crimes such as shoplifting and burglary remain significant, the prevalence of violent crime suggests a combination of community dynamics and local factors. Seasonal patterns may also play a role, as June marks the beginning of summer and the start of increased tourism in Tendring’s coastal and rural areas, which could influence crime patterns. For instance, the rise in shoplifting (up 39.7% from 73 to 102 incidents) may be linked to heightened foot traffic in retail hubs during this period. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour rates remain lower than the UK average, reflecting the district’s relatively low population density and community-focused policing strategies. The data highlights a need to address the underlying drivers of violent crime while maintaining the positive trends observed in other categories.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends across Tendring, with several categories showing marked changes compared to the previous month. The most significant increase was in possession of weapons, which rose by 111.1% (from 9 to 19 incidents), a figure that may warrant closer attention given its potential implications for public safety. Concurrently, burglary increased by 40.6% (32 to 45 cases), possibly linked to seasonal factors such as extended daylight hours and increased outdoor activity. Shoplifting also saw a sharp rise of 39.7% (73 to 102 cases), consistent with the start of summer and the influx of tourists into coastal and rural areas. On the other hand, theft from the person decreased by 50.0% (from 4 to 2 cases), a reduction that could be attributed to improved security measures or reduced foot traffic in high-risk zones. Public order offences also declined by 19.0% (100 to 81 cases), reflecting the effectiveness of local policing initiatives or the natural moderation of social interactions during the summer months. The UK comparison data further illustrates disparities: while violence and sexual offences remain significantly above the national average, categories such as anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are lower, indicating a mixed picture of local crime dynamics.

Tendring’s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 4.2% compared to the previous month, climbing from 7.6 to 8.0 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, suggests a temporary fluctuation in local crime patterns that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of the summer season. On a daily basis, the district experienced approximately 42 crimes per day in June, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents within the community. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 126 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Tendring in the context of broader UK crime trends. While this rate is slightly below the UK average, the variation in specific crime categories—such as the 33% increase in violence and sexual offences compared to the national average—highlights the unique challenges faced by the district. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that Tendring’s crime profile is shaped by its geographic and demographic characteristics, with the mix of rural and coastal areas likely contributing to the distinct distribution of crime types observed. These figures, when contextualised within the local environment, offer a nuanced understanding of how crime manifests in Tendring compared to other regions across the UK.
