Rhoose Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rhoose’s crime profile in June 2025 reveals a striking dominance of violent crime over property offences, with 25 violent incidents (53.2% of total) compared to 14 property crimes. This imbalance suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of summer and increased foot traffic in public spaces. The overall crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents places the area 37% below the UK average of 8.1, highlighting a relatively low-risk environment despite the concentration of violent crime. The most common offence category—violence and sexual offences—remains 6% below the UK average, though this does not fully offset the higher proportion of violent incidents within Rhoose. Property crime rates, while lower than the UK average for most categories, show an exception in burglary, which is 43% above the national rate. This discrepancy may reflect local vulnerabilities, such as the presence of older housing stock or limited surveillance in residential areas. Seasonal context adds nuance: longer daylight hours and the onset of summer tourism could contribute to both increased public interactions (raising violent crime) and targeted opportunities for property crimes in quieter parts of the built-up area. The data also underscores the relatively low incidence of anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which are 79% and 66% below UK averages respectively, due to community cohesion or effective local policing strategies.

June 2025 saw a sharp 300% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 4 incidents—a stark contrast to the 62.5% drop in vehicle crime (from 8 to 3). This shift in property crime dynamics may indicate seasonal changes in criminal focus, with burglars exploiting warmer weather for easier access to homes or targeting specific areas during daylight hours. Meanwhile, violent crime remained the dominant category, with 25 incidents accounting for over half of all recorded crimes. This concentration of violence—though 6% below the UK average for the category—could signal localized tensions or increased social interactions in public spaces during the summer months. Anti-social behaviour fell by 40% compared to May, while theft from the person doubled, suggesting a combination of deterrence measures and opportunistic crime. The rise in 'other crime' by 100% (from 0 to 2 incidents) highlights the need for further analysis, as this category often includes lesser-known offences that may be underreported or newly emerging in the area. Residents should be aware of the significant spike in burglary, which may warrant increased vigilance in securing homes, particularly during the extended daylight hours of June.

Rhoose’s crime rate in June 2025 (5.1 per 1,000) marked a 23.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 4.1, reflecting a notable upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continuous monitoring. When scaled to the population of 9,276 residents, this translates to one reported crime for every 197 residents over the course of the month—a monthly exposure rate that is well below the UK average for comparable areas. The previous month’s rate of 4.1 per 1,000 provides context for this increase, which may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of summer and associated changes in community activity. While the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the rise in specific categories like burglary (43% above the UK average) indicates localized challenges that require targeted interventions. The relatively low incidence of anti-social behaviour and public order offences—79% and 66% below UK averages respectively—suggests that Rhoose’s social fabric and policing efforts are effectively mitigating certain types of crime. However, the 300% increase in burglary highlights a vulnerability that could benefit from additional community engagement or enhanced security measures in high-risk areas.
