Wrecclesham Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 8,193, Wrecclesham recorded only 10 crimes in May 2025, translating to a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 85.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, placing the area in stark contrast to national trends. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (5 incidents, 50% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (2 incidents, 20% of total). These statistics reflect a pattern where violent crimes dominate the local crime picture, though they remain significantly lower than the UK average for this category (79% below). The seasonal context of May—characterised by longer evenings, bank holidays, and increased outdoor socialising—may have contributed to the higher proportion of violent crimes relative to property crimes. However, the overall volume of incidents remains exceptionally low, suggesting that the area's characteristics—possibly its rural or semi-rural nature, strong community ties, or limited urban infrastructure—play a role in maintaining this low crime environment. The breakdown also shows that property crimes (2 incidents) were less prevalent, with burglary, criminal damage, and drugs-related offences each accounting for 10% of the total. These figures, while small in absolute terms, may be influenced by the area's seasonal dynamics, such as increased foot traffic during May's extended daylight hours. The combination of low overall crime rates, a focus on violent incidents, and the influence of local seasonal patterns creates a unique crime profile for Wrecclesham that differs from both urban and rural benchmarks.

May 2025 saw two specific crime types increase by 100.0% compared to April 2025: drugs-related offences and criminal damage and arson. Both categories rose from zero to one reported incident, though the absolute numbers remain small in the context of the area's low overall crime rate. The crime mix in the area shifted significantly, with violent crimes (5) comprising 50% of all incidents reported—substantially higher than the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000 (79% below). This pattern suggests a localised focus on violent incidents, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as longer evenings and increased socialising. For residents, the most immediately relevant data is the 50.0% drop in the overall crime rate from the previous month, indicating a sustained period of low criminal activity despite the small increases in specific categories.

Wrecclesham's crime rate in May 2025 (1.2 per 1,000 residents) represents a 50.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.4 per 1,000. This decline suggests a continued trend of reduced criminal activity, though the absolute numbers remain extremely low. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, a figure that underscores the rarity of reported incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population of 8,193, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 819 residents. This statistic provides context for residents considering the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives. The low rate is particularly notable when compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, highlighting Wrecclesham's position as an area with significantly lower crime levels than the national benchmark. This contrast may reflect the area's rural characteristics or strong community engagement in crime prevention.
