Denmead Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Denmead, the crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 in August 2025 translates to a daily risk that is effectively negligible. This rate is 76.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, placing the area among the safest in the country. The breakdown of crimes shows that 90% of reported incidents were violent or sexual offences, a category that still remains significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Public order offences, while making up just 10% of total crimes, saw an 80% monthly decline, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes or local initiatives. August, as a peak holiday month, typically increases burglary risks due to empty homes, yet Denmead’s overall low crime rate suggests that such vulnerabilities are either mitigated by community factors or policing strategies. The dominance of violent crime in the area’s profile is noteworthy, though the absence of property crimes—such as burglary or vehicle theft—contrasts with typical patterns in more densely populated or tourist-heavy regions. This could indicate a unique demographic or geographic dynamic, such as a lower transient population or effective community engagement. However, the 12.5% rise in violent crime from July raises questions about localized pressures, though no definitive link is evident in the data. The low overall rate, combined with the UK’s broader context, suggests that Denmead’s crime profile is shaped by a combination of its small, built-up character and strong local networks that deter more common crime types. For residents, the numbers illustrate that while violent incidents are rare, their occurrence underscores the need for continued awareness and community support systems.

Violence and sexual offences rose by 12.5% in August, increasing from 8 to 9 incidents. This category remains 41% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Conversely, public order offences fell by 80%, dropping from 5 to 1, a rate 66% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. The dominance of violent crime—accounting for 90% of total incidents—contrasts with the UK’s broader mix of crime types. For residents, the sharp decline in public order offences suggests fewer disruptions in local spaces, though the rise in violent crime warrants attention. The area’s violent crime rate is lower than the UK average, but the 12.5% increase highlights the need for continued monitoring of trends in this category.

August 2025 saw Denmead’s crime rate drop to 1.9 per 1,000 residents, a 52.5% decrease from July’s 4.0 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a rate 76.5% below the national average of 8.1 per 1,000. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 522 residents—a frequency that, while statistically significant, translates to a low daily risk for individuals. The daily crime count, calculated as 0 crimes per day on average, underscores the rarity of incidents in Denmead. When scaled to the area’s population of 5,222, the monthly exposure figure illustrates that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime during their daily routines. This contrast with the UK average highlights the effectiveness of local policing or community factors, though specific causes remain speculative without further data.
