Daventry Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a town of 31,384 residents, 225 crimes reported in June 2025 equate to 7.2 crimes per 1,000 people—a rate 11.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure translates to approximately one crime for every 139 residents over the course of the month, a relatively low exposure rate that reflects the area's overall safety profile. The crime mix in Daventry this month was dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 40.4% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 28.4%. These figures align with the summer season, when increased social activity in public spaces may contribute to higher rates of violence and disorder. The UK average for violent crime is 2.9 per 1,000, which Daventry matched exactly, suggesting that local factors—such as community policing efforts or demographic characteristics—may be balancing the national trend. The area's anti-social behaviour rate was higher than the UK average, at 2.0 per 1,000 compared to the national figure of 1.4 per 1,000. This discrepancy may be linked to local social dynamics, such as the presence of transient populations or under-resourced community support services. Meanwhile, property crimes were comparatively low, with burglary at 0.3 per 1,000 and vehicle crime at 0.2 per 1,000, both well below the UK averages of 0.3 and 0.4 per 1,000 respectively. This suggests that property crime prevention measures, such as CCTV coverage or community engagement initiatives, may be effective in Daventry. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may influence crime patterns, with increased foot traffic in town centres driving anti-social behaviour and violent incidents, while reduced tourism and outdoor activity could explain lower rates of theft from the person or shoplifting. However, the dramatic 700% increase in burglary cases highlights the need for further analysis of localized risk factors, such as changes in housing occupancy or targeted criminal activity.

June saw a dramatic 700% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 8 incidents, a spike that could reflect seasonal shifts in property crime patterns. Robbery also doubled, with 2 cases reported compared to 1 in May, suggesting heightened vulnerability in specific locations. In contrast, bicycle theft plummeted by 66.7%, dropping from 3 to 1 incident—a decline possibly linked to increased security measures or seasonal changes in cycling activity. Anti-social behaviour remained significantly above the UK average, with 64 cases reported (2.0 per 1,000) compared to the national figure of 1.4 per 1,000. This category's 41% excess over the UK average highlights persistent challenges in managing public order. Meanwhile, shoplifting fell by 50%, from 4 to 2 incidents, a reduction that may be tied to retail security upgrades or reduced foot traffic during early summer.

Daventry's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 9.2% from 7.9 to 7.2 per 1,000 residents compared to May, marking a sustained decline. This reduction aligns with the area's ongoing efforts to address local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 8 crimes reported each day, a figure that provides context for residents assessing local safety. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for roughly every 139 residents, a monthly exposure rate that translates to a 1-in-139 chance for any given individual. When scaled to the population of 31,384, this suggests that crime remains relatively contained compared to the UK average, though localized spikes in specific categories warrant closer attention. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while overall crime is lower than the UK average, certain types of crime—such as anti-social behaviour—remain high, indicating potential areas for targeted action.
