Three Rivers Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 marked a slight upward trend in Three Rivers’ crime rate, which stood at 6.2 per 1,000 residents—23.5% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure, while higher than May’s 5.9, remains well within the safer end of the national spectrum. The area’s crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (34.5% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (23.8%) and other theft (8.2%). The seasonal context of June—longer days and the onset of summer tourism—may have influenced patterns, with potential links to increased foot traffic in retail and leisure areas. However, violent crime rates (2.1 per 1,000) were 27% below the UK average, suggesting effective policing or community initiatives in this category. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average in most categories, was 6% above the national rate, reflecting the social dynamics of a mixed-use district. The data also showed a marked disparity in property crime: shoplifting was 37% below the UK average, while burglary was 7% above. This contrast may indicate targeted efforts in retail security or challenges in residential areas. The overall picture illustrates a district where violent crime is managed effectively, but property-related issues remain unevenly distributed. As the summer progresses, these trends may shift further, influenced by seasonal activities and local interventions.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 2 to 4 incidents—a sharp contrast to the 37% UK average reduction in shoplifting during the same period. This spike may reflect summer cycling activity or changes in local security measures. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 14.8% (27 to 23), aligning with the UK’s 46% below average for the category. The shift in crime mix is evident: violent crimes (34.5% of total) now outpace property crimes (31.2%), a reversal from earlier months. Anti-social behaviour remained 6% above the UK average, potentially linked to increased social activity in parks and public spaces. A resident might find the 100% drop in robbery (from 3 to 4 incidents) encouraging, though this remains a small number in absolute terms.

The crime rate in Three Rivers rose by 5.1% from 5.9 to 6.2 per 1,000 residents between May and June 2025. This increase, while modest, suggests a shift in local dynamics during the summer months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 20 crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects the district’s population density and seasonal activity patterns. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 163 residents experienced a reported crime, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. When scaled to the population of 95,807, this rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, highlighting Three Rivers’ relative safety despite the upward trend. The increase may partly explain seasonal fluctuations, such as the start of summer holidays or heightened foot traffic in retail and leisure areas, though these remain speculative factors without further data.
