Denmead Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denmead's built-up area within Winchester recorded a crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000 residents in February 2025, placing it 56.7% below the UK average of 6.7. This figure reflects a low-crime environment consistent with the characteristics of a smaller urban area with limited industrial or commercial activity. The top crime types were violence and sexual offences (40% of total), anti-social behaviour (13.3%), and burglary (13.3%), with the former category significantly below the UK average. Seasonal context suggests that the winter months may naturally suppress outdoor crime, though the presence of 6 violent incidents indicates that local factors — such as community cohesion or policing — may play a role in maintaining this lower rate. The area's low population density and proximity to Winchester's urban core likely contribute to its crime profile, with property crime rates balanced by a strong focus on community safety initiatives. The absence of significant spikes in theft or vehicle crime during February aligns with the pre-spring lull, though the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour raises questions about temporary disruptions. Overall, Denmead's crime pattern illustrates a stable, low-level environment where targeted interventions may be more impactful than broad-scale measures.

February 2025 saw a dramatic 57.1% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 14 to 6 incidents. This sharp decline contrasts with the 100% increases in anti-social behaviour, drugs, and burglary, each of which rose from zero to two incidents. The shift in crime mix highlights a move from violent incidents to property-related offences, with burglary now reaching 0.4 per 1,000 residents — 48% above the UK average for this category. Violence and sexual offences in Denmead remain 49% below the UK rate of 2.4 per 1,000, underscoring the area's continued safety in this category. Residents may find the 100% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a sudden spike in disturbances that could relate to local events or environmental factors. The overall balance between property and violent crime in February reflects a combination of seasonal trends and local dynamics.

Denmead's crime rate in February 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a 6.2% decrease from the previous month's 3.1. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns observed in built-up areas during winter, where reduced outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may contribute to lower crime rates. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day across 28 days, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with Denmead's overall crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 348 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure within the local population. When compared to the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, Denmead remains significantly safer, though the slight uptick in burglary (now 0.4 per 1,000) suggests localised factors may be influencing property crime trends. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Denmead's residents face a much lower risk of victimisation than the national average, though targeted awareness around property security remains prudent.
