Chadwell St Mary Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Chadwell St Mary’s crime profile in June 2025 reveals a combination of property and violent crime, with the two categories remaining in near balance. The overall crime rate of 11.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 42% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a stark contrast that may reflect local socioeconomic factors or policing challenges. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 38.5% of all crimes—stand out as the most prevalent category, with a rate of 4.4 per 1,000 that is 54% higher than the UK average. This suggests a high incidence of interpersonal conflict or targeted violence in the area. Meanwhile, property crime, though slightly lower in total count (50 cases), includes categories like criminal damage and arson (22 cases) and vehicle crime (13 cases), both of which are 262% and 224% above UK averages, respectively. These figures may be influenced by the area’s built-up nature, where densely populated zones could heighten opportunities for vandalism or vehicle-related theft. Seasonal factors in June—longer daylight hours and the onset of summer—could contribute to increased outdoor activity, exacerbating conflicts in public spaces. The data also shows a surprising dip in anti-social behaviour, with a rate 23% below the UK average, which may indicate effective local interventions or a shift in reporting patterns. This mix of elevated and suppressed crime types paints a nuanced picture of a community grappling with specific challenges, requiring tailored approaches to address both violent and property-related issues.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in specific crime categories, with 'other crime' surging 500% from 1 to 6 incidents—a sharp rise that may reflect unreported or newly emerging issues. Vehicle crime also jumped 160%, climbing from 5 to 13 cases, potentially linked to increased summer traffic or vehicle-related disputes. Robbery rates doubled, rising from 1 to 2, a trend that, while modest in absolute terms, highlights vulnerabilities in local security. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell 83.3%, dropping from 6 to 1, indicating a seasonal downturn in illicit activity or improved enforcement. The balance between property and violent crime remains nearly equal, though violent crime (47 cases) edged slightly ahead of property crime (50 cases). This near-parity contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically constitutes a smaller share. The area’s violent crime rate—4.4 per 1,000—exceeds the UK average by 54%, a discrepancy that may reflect local social dynamics or policing priorities.

Chadwell St Mary's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 11.5 per 1,000 residents, a 23.2% increase from the previous month’s 9.3 per 1,000. This shift translates to roughly 4 crimes reported daily, a figure that may feel more pronounced in a built-up area with limited public spaces for dispersal. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for every 87 residents—a ratio that, while not extreme, suggests a consistent presence of crime in daily life. The population context further clarifies this: with 10,614 residents, the 122 total crimes reported mean that each individual faces a measurable, though not overwhelming, risk. This monthly exposure is higher than the UK average, which sits at 8.1 per 1,000, and underscores the need for targeted local initiatives. The previous month’s rate, while lower, indicates a seasonal or situational fluctuation that could align with June’s longer days and increased outdoor activity.
