Moor Park Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw a notable shift in Moor Park’s crime profile, with violent crimes emerging as the most pressing concern. The area recorded 27 total crimes, translating to a rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents — 43.2% below the UK average of 8.1. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.8%) and other theft (11.1%). This marks a departure from earlier trends, where property crimes typically dominated. The rise in violent incidents may partly explain the shift. Seasonal factors likely play a role: as summer begins, longer evenings and increased foot traffic in Moor Park’s retail and leisure hubs could contribute to higher visibility of incidents. However, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting the area’s built-up character within Three Rivers may provide some inherent safety advantages. Violent crime in Moor Park (1.9 per 1,000) is 34% below the UK average for this category, a figure that contrasts with the 7% above UK levels for burglary. This divergence hints at localized factors — the area’s compact layout or community engagement initiatives — that suppress certain crime types while leaving others vulnerable. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in public spaces during peak hours, as the data underscores a clear uptick in personal safety concerns.

June 2025 brought sharp increases in several crime categories, with other thefts surging by 200% compared to May, shoplifting doubling, and burglary rising by 100%. These jumps suggest a possible shift in criminal activity patterns, though the underlying causes are not immediately clear. The 200% rise in other thefts — from one incident to three — is particularly striking, as this category typically accounts for a smaller share of total crimes. This could indicate targeted opportunistic behaviour, linked to increased retail activity during the summer months. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 66.7%, suggesting a seasonal dip in such incidents, which may be tied to reduced vandalism during warmer weather or heightened community oversight. The balance of crime types also shifted: while property crimes remained significant (8 incidents), violent crimes now constitute the largest single category (11 incidents). This shift contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences account for 34% of all crimes, compared to Moor Park’s 40.7%. A resident might find the 100% increase in shoplifting particularly relevant, as it highlights a growing risk in retail areas. The data also reveals that anti-social behaviour (14.8% of crimes) is 51% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area’s relatively stable social fabric despite the recent spikes in other categories.

Moor Park’s crime rate in June 2025 (4.6 per 1,000) marked a 42.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.3, though it remains well below the UK average. This rise translates to roughly one reported crime per day — a local figure that underscores the area’s generally low crime environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 216 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks. The previous month’s rate was 3.3 per 1,000, highlighting a recent uptick that, while concerning, has not yet pushed Moor Park into the higher range of UK crime statistics. Population context is critical here: with 5,842 residents, the area’s small size means even modest increases can feel significant to residents. However, the scale of crime remains manageable, with violent crimes (11 incidents) and property crimes (8) spread across a relatively compact built-up area. This contrasts with larger urban centres, where crime rates often cluster in specific high-risk zones. The daily crime count of one incident per day in June 2025 provides a tangible reference point for residents, illustrating that while crime is rising, it remains infrequent enough to suggest the area’s inherent safety features — such as its integration within Three Rivers’ broader infrastructure — continue to offer protection. The 42.2% increase from May, however, serves as a reminder that even low levels of crime can shift rapidly, requiring continued vigilance.
