Denmead Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denmead's crime profile in June 2025 continued to demonstrate a marked contrast to national trends, with a total crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents — 69.1% below the UK average of 8.1. The area's crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46.2% of all recorded incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour and criminal damage at 15.4% each. This pattern suggests a focus on interpersonal crimes rather than property-related offences, a trend consistent with Denmead's character as a built-up area within Winchester, where community interactions and local amenities may influence crime dynamics. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these figures, as June marks the start of summer and increased outdoor activity. The relatively low rate of property crimes — only 4 out of 13 total incidents — may reflect the area's compact nature and the presence of residential properties with strong security measures. Violent crimes, while lower than the UK average, remain a concern, with the category being 58% below the national rate. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.4 per 1,000 residents, also significantly underperformed compared to the UK average of 1.4, highlighting Denmead's generally orderly environment. The data shows no clear correlation between population density and crime rates, as the area's small size and low crime volume make direct comparisons challenging. These figures are likely to be influenced by local factors such as community engagement initiatives, police presence, and the area's integration within Winchester's broader infrastructure.

June 2025 saw a 14.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 7 to 6 incidents. This decline, while modest, aligns with a broader trend of reduced violent crime in Denmead compared to the UK average, where the category is 58% below the national rate. Meanwhile, public order offences and vehicle crime both doubled from zero to one incident each, a sharp but isolated increase. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 100%, from one to two cases, though the category remains 72% below the UK average. The crime mix shifted slightly, with violent crimes now accounting for 46.2% of total incidents — a marginal decrease from previous months. These changes, while statistically significant, are unlikely to signal long-term trends given the small absolute numbers. For residents, the most immediate insight is the continued dominance of violence and sexual offences, which now constitute nearly half of all recorded crimes.

Denmead's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 18.0% compared to the previous month, moving from 2.1 to 2.5 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the overall rate remains 69.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, illustrating a consistently low level of criminal activity. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 402 residents — a figure that, while not zero, reflects the area's generally secure environment. This exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which would see one crime for every 124 residents. The shift in crime types between May and June, including a rise in public order offences and vehicle crime, suggests seasonal factors may be influencing patterns.
