Moor Park Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's crime rate in May 2025 stood at 3.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 59.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This continued safety performance highlights the area's effectiveness in maintaining low crime levels, despite the challenges of seasonal transitions. The breakdown of crimes shows that violence and sexual offences were the most prevalent category, accounting for 36.8% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.1%) and criminal damage and arson (15.8%). These figures are consistent with the broader trend of Moor Park's crime profile being significantly below national averages, with violence and sexual offences 58% below the UK rate and anti-social behaviour 51% below. The seasonal context of May—characterised by longer evenings, bank holidays, and increased outdoor socialising—may have influenced the types and frequencies of crimes recorded. While the area's overall crime rate remains low, the rise in specific categories such as anti-social behaviour and violence may be linked to the increased social activity typical of this time of year. This pattern is not uncommon in similar suburban or rural areas where community engagement and outdoor events can temporarily elevate certain types of crime. However, the overall safety of Moor Park remains a key feature, with the majority of crime types continuing to fall well below UK averages.

May 2025 saw significant increases in several crime categories, with criminal damage and arson rising by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents) and violence and sexual offences surging by 133.3% (from 3 to 7). Anti-social behaviour also doubled, reflecting a sharp upward trend. These spikes contrast with the area's overall safety profile, which remains 59.3% below the UK average. Theft from the person—accounting for 5.3% of all crimes—was 33% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly may partly explain the rise in violent crime, as incidents involving personal theft could escalate tensions. Residents are advised to remain vigilant in areas where such crimes are concentrated, particularly during the extended evenings typical of May. The increase in anti-social behaviour may also be linked to the season's social dynamics, such as bank holidays and outdoor drinking, which could contribute to heightened disorder.

Moor Park's crime rate in May 2025 rose by 72.9% compared to the previous month, moving from 1.9 to 3.3 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though notable, remains significantly lower than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the low overall volume of incidents. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure rate—1 crime for every 307 residents—illustrates that the likelihood of encountering crime in Moor Park is markedly lower than in many other parts of the UK. This context is important for residents, as it underscores the area's continued safety profile despite the month-on-month rise. The population of 5,842 further scales these figures, showing that even with the increase, the absolute number of crimes remains minimal relative to the local community size.
