Rhoose Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rhoose’s crime profile in March 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with the former dominating. At 3.7 per 1,000, the area’s crime rate is 52.6% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the effectiveness of local measures in curbing criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 52.9% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (23.5%) and public order issues (11.8%). This mix suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts and community disruptions rather than property-related offences. The seasonal context of March — a transition to spring with longer evenings — may contribute to the prominence of violent and anti-social crimes, as increased social activity and outdoor presence could heighten opportunities for such incidents. However, property crimes remain exceptionally low, with burglary at 0.1 per 1,000 — 64% below the UK average — a pattern consistent with areas where community engagement and policing efforts are prioritised. The data also indicates that Rhoose’s crime profile is shaped by its built-up character, where urban dynamics may influence the prevalence of certain offences. While the month-on-month rise in anti-social behaviour warrants attention, the overall profile remains markedly safer than the national average, reflecting a combination of local factors and broader trends.

March 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 8 incidents. This surge, combined with a 100% rise in burglary and other theft, highlights a shift in crime patterns. Violent crimes, though remaining the most common category, are 30% below the UK average for this type, suggesting a focus on community safety measures. The sharp rise in anti-social behaviour may partly explain the overall increase, though the rate remains low compared to the UK. For residents, the 300% jump in anti-social incidents could indicate heightened tensions during the transition to spring, linked to extended evening hours. Meanwhile, property crimes remain sparse, with burglary at 0.1 per 1,000 — 64% below the UK average — indicating effective prevention in this category.

Rhoose’s crime rate in March 2025 rose by 31.1% compared to February’s 2.8 per 1,000, reaching 3.7 per 1,000. This increase, though notable, remains 52.6% below the UK average of 7.8. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 273 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure in terms of population. This suggests that, despite the month-on-month rise, the risk of experiencing crime remains significantly lower than the national average. The population-scaled perspective further reinforces that Rhoose’s crime profile is markedly different from the UK context, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour being the dominant categories. This contrast may reflect local factors such as community dynamics or policing strategies that contribute to sustained low levels of property crime.
