Saxilby Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Saxilby's overall crime rate in September 2025 stood at 1.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 75.7% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s generally low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 45.5% of all crimes reported, followed by public order incidents (18.2%) and burglary (9.1%). These figures align with Saxilby’s character as a built-up area within West Lindsey, where rural isolation and limited urban density may contribute to lower crime rates overall. However, the seasonal context of September—marking the start of the academic year and university freshers’ week—likely influences the types of offences observed. Violence and sexual offences, while down 44.4% from August, remain the most prevalent category, potentially reflecting the increased social activity typical of this time of year. Public order offences, though a small proportion of total crimes, saw a 100% increase month-on-month, linked to the influx of new students and the associated social dynamics. The low rates of anti-social behaviour and other theft categories suggest a community with strong local cohesion, though the 186% rise in bicycle theft above the UK average highlights a specific vulnerability that may require targeted awareness. As the nights draw in, residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas frequented by students or during late-night events.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in Saxilby’s crime profile, with public order offences rising by 100% compared to August. This increase—from zero to two incidents—suggests heightened tensions or disruptions, possibly linked to the start of the academic term and associated social gatherings. Similarly, bicycle theft doubled from zero to one incident, an 186% increase above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly may indicate a gap in local security measures or an underreported issue requiring attention from residents. While violence and sexual offences decreased by 44.4% (from nine to five), they still dominated the crime profile, accounting for nearly half of all reported incidents. This category remains significantly below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), with a 69% deficit. Anti-social behaviour, though down by 50%, continues to be underreported relative to the UK average (83% below). These figures highlight a mixed picture: Saxilby’s overall safety is strong, but specific categories demand vigilance. Residents should be particularly alert to public order issues and bicycle theft, which could be exacerbated by the seasonal influx of students and the associated changes in community activity.

Saxilby’s September 2025 crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 marked a 35.1% decline from August’s 2.8 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. Over the course of the month, this equated to roughly 0 crimes per day on average, a local figure that underscores the area’s exceptionally low crime density. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure was 1 crime for every 560 residents, a statistic that contextualises the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. This rate is far below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences 69% lower than the national benchmark and public order offences 44% below. The contrast with larger urban centres is stark: Saxilby’s low population density and rural setting likely contribute to its sparse crime record. However, the 186% increase in bicycle theft above the UK average reveals a specific vulnerability. While the overall trend is positive, residents should remain cautious about the potential for concentrated incidents in niche areas, such as university campuses or student accommodation, which may not reflect the broader safety profile of the area.
