Rhoose Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rhoose's crime rate in August 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 64.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This built-up area within the Vale of Glamorgan continues to demonstrate a crime profile markedly safer than the national average, though the month-on-month changes reveal a nuanced picture. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 44.4% of all crimes, with 12 incidents reported. This remains 55% below the UK average for this category, a reflection of the area's relatively low levels of violent crime. Public order offences, while surging by 300% compared to July, still represent only 14.8% of total crimes, with four incidents recorded. Anti-social behaviour, another significant category, decreased by 33.3%, falling from six to four cases. The seasonal context of August—typically a peak holiday month—may have influenced crime patterns, with increased tourism potentially contributing to higher public order incidents. However, the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low, suggesting that the area's characteristics, such as its smaller population and lower density, may help mitigate crime risks. The data also highlights that categories like 'Other crime' are 87% above the UK average, indicating potential gaps in classification or reporting that warrant further analysis. This combination of factors illustrates a community that, while not immune to crime, maintains a significantly safer profile than the national average, with targeted efforts likely playing a role in sustaining these low rates.

August 2025 saw a 300% increase in public order offences, rising from one to four incidents, a stark shift that may reflect heightened summer activity or changes in community engagement. Violence and sexual offences also rose by 50%, climbing from eight to twelve cases, though this remains 55% below the UK average for this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 33.3%, dropping from six to four incidents, a decrease that could indicate improved local initiatives or seasonal changes in behaviour. 'Other crime' surged by 200%, with incidents rising from one to three, a category that is 87% above the UK average. This anomaly suggests a need for closer examination of unclassified incidents, though the overall crime profile remains significantly safer than the national average. For residents, the sharp rise in public order offences is a specific data point that may warrant attention from local authorities.

Rhoose's crime rate in August 2025 rose by 22.8% compared to the previous month, moving from 2.4 to 2.9 per 1,000 residents. While this marks a slight upward trend, the daily crime count remains low at approximately one reported crime per day, reflecting the area's consistently low overall crime levels. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 344 residents, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When viewed through the lens of the local population of 9,276, the monthly exposure rate highlights that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly. This context contrasts sharply with the UK average, where the scale of crime is significantly higher, but within Rhoose, the numbers suggest a community that remains relatively safe despite the month-on-month increase. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that crime, while present, is not a pervasive issue in daily life here.
