Tendring Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Tendring's crime profile in June 2025, accounting for nearly half (47.2%) of all reported incidents. With a crime rate of 8.0 per 1,000 residents—1.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000—this local authority district maintains a marginally safer position nationally. The prominence of violent crimes, which are 33% above the UK average, likely reflects the area's mix of coastal and rural environments, where seasonal tourism and transient populations may contribute to heightened interpersonal tensions. Property crimes, though lower than violent offences, remain significant, with criminal damage and arson (10.2% of total crimes) and shoplifting (8.2%) standing out. These figures align with Tendring's characteristics as a region with a blend of urban centres, rural communities, and coastal attractions, where retail areas and seasonal tourism may drive specific crime patterns. The summer season, marked by longer days and the beginning of the tourist season, may also influence crime dynamics, increasing opportunities for theft and disorder. While overall rates remain stable, the UK comparison highlights that Tendring's performance in certain categories—such as anti-social behaviour (44% below the UK average) and vehicle crime (19% below)—demonstrates strengths in managing these types of offences. This contrast suggests that local policing strategies or community initiatives may be effectively addressing non-violent crime, even as violent incidents remain a pressing concern. The data underscores the need for targeted interventions in areas where violent crimes are concentrated, while also recognizing the district's relative success in reducing other categories of crime.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in possession of weapons, surging by 111.1% from 9 to 19 incidents—a stark increase that may reflect heightened tensions or unseasonal activity in the area. Concurrently, burglary rates climbed by 40.6%, rising from 32 to 45 cases, a shift that could be tied to the start of summer, when properties are often unoccupied. In contrast, theft from the person fell by 50%, from 4 to 2 incidents, suggesting possible improvements in personal security measures or reduced opportunities for such crimes. Violent crimes remain the most significant category, contributing 47.2% of all reported incidents and outpacing the UK average by 33%. This dominance of violent offences is notable, as it contrasts with the UK's broader trend where such crimes make up a smaller share. For residents, the 111% spike in weapons possession is a concrete data point that underscores a local concern warranting attention.

Tendring's crime rate in June 2025 rose 4.2% from the previous month, climbing to 8.0 per 1,000 residents from 7.6 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, suggests a shift in local patterns during the summer season. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 42 crimes reported each day in June—a figure that translates to one crime occurring for every 126 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible sense of how frequently crime intersects with daily life in Tendring. With a population of 156,759, the 1,247 total crimes recorded represent a small but measurable fraction of the community. While the overall rate remains 1.2% below the UK average, the rise from May to June highlights the need for continued vigilance, particularly in areas where violent crimes and property offences are concentrated.
