Streetly Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Streetly’s crime profile, contributing 36.8% of all reported crimes in September 2025. This category, with a rate of 0.9 per 1,000 residents, is 65% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The area’s overall crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents—66.2% below the UK average of 7.4—reflects a consistently low level of criminal activity compared to national benchmarks. Property crimes, though lower than violent offences, still account for 52.6% of all incidents, with shoplifting (18.4%) and other theft (13.2%) forming the largest subcategories. Seasonal factors may partly explain the data: as September marks the start of the academic year, increased foot traffic in local schools and retail areas could contribute to shoplifting trends. Conversely, the drop in vehicle crime (71.4% month-on-month) may align with reduced summer activity in car parks and parking lots. The area’s compact built-up nature, combined with limited nightlife and commercial density, likely limits opportunities for more complex crimes such as burglary or public order incidents. However, the 100% increase in robbery and public order offences suggests emerging challenges that warrant closer monitoring as the year progresses.

September 2025 saw sharp month-on-month increases in robbery, other crime, and public order offences—each doubling from the previous month. This surge, though modest in absolute terms (one robbery and two additional incidents across these categories), contrasts with steep declines in vehicle crime (71.4% down), burglary (71.4% down), and criminal damage (40% down). The drop in vehicle-related crimes may reflect reduced summer demand for parking spaces, though this could also indicate improved local security measures or fewer opportunities for theft. Violence and sexual offences remain significantly below the UK average (65% lower), a pattern consistent with Streetly’s low population density and limited commercial zones. Meanwhile, shoplifting—accounting for 18.4% of all crimes—remains a persistent issue, with its rate (0.5 per 1,000) 18% below the UK average. Residents may find the 100% increase in public order offences particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a shift in local dynamics that could be tied to seasonal changes or evolving community interactions.

Streetly’s crime rate in September 2025 (2.5 per 1,000) marks a 29.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.5 per 1,000, highlighting a downward trend in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in September, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the presence of a small built-up population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 406 residents, a ratio that places Streetly well within the lower end of UK crime exposure benchmarks. This monthly aggregate suggests that the area’s compact size and limited commercial footprint may contribute to its consistently low crime rates. When compared to the UK average, Streetly’s overall rate is 66.2% below the national figure, a gap that persists across most crime categories. For example, burglary and vehicle crime rates are 64% and 75% below UK averages, respectively. These figures, combined with the area’s small population, indicate that Streetly’s crime profile is shaped more by its physical and social characteristics than by broader national trends. While the 100% increase in public order offences may signal a temporary uptick in local tensions, the overall trajectory remains one of sustained safety compared to larger urban centres.
