Tarleton and Hesketh Bank Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Tarleton and Hesketh Bank reported a crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 49.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, though the distribution of crime types reveals a nuanced picture. Violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, accounted for 37.8% of all incidents, significantly outweighing property crimes at 21.6% and other theft at 2.7%. This imbalance may reflect the area’s character as a built-up region within West Lancashire, where public spaces and community interactions could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal offences. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as the start of summer often coincides with increased foot traffic and social activity in local areas, influencing crime patterns. The rate of violence and sexual offences in the area (1.6 per 1,000) was 44% below the UK average, suggesting a lower incidence of such crimes compared to national trends. However, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson both exceeded UK averages, with the latter category seeing a 55% increase. These discrepancies highlight the importance of contextual analysis, as local conditions—such as community engagement, policing strategies, and environmental factors—can shape crime trends independently of broader regional patterns. The relatively low overall crime rate, combined with the prominence of violent crimes, may indicate a need for targeted interventions to address specific risk factors while maintaining the area’s overall safety.

June 2025 saw a striking shift in crime patterns, with violent crimes accounting for 37.8% of total incidents—nearly double the share of property crimes. This imbalance may partly reflect seasonal factors, as the start of summer often correlates with increased public activity in open spaces. The most significant monthly increase was in criminal damage and arson, which surged by 300% compared to May, rising from two to eight incidents. This sharp rise contrasts with a 75% drop in other theft, which fell from four to one. The area’s rate of violence and sexual offences (1.6 per 1,000) was 44% below the UK average, suggesting a lower prevalence of such crimes in this built-up area. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both exceeded UK averages, with anti-social behaviour being 6% higher than the national figure. These trends highlight a combination of local dynamics and broader regional patterns.

The crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 5.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.4 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, the local figure translates to approximately one crime reported per day, a rate that remains significantly lower than the UK average. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 242 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure for individuals living in Tarleton and Hesketh Bank. While this figure is not directly comparable to UK-wide data, it provides a clear snapshot of the local impact. The population of 8,952 residents further underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents, suggesting that the area maintains a safer profile compared to many parts of the country. This context is critical for residents and local authorities seeking to understand the scale and implications of crime in the built-up area.
