Brynmawr Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brynmawr’s crime rate in April 2025 was 10.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.9% above the UK average of 7.7. This figure highlights a persistent challenge for the area, particularly given its built-up nature and the relatively high proportion of violent and public order crimes. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 32.1% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour and public order offences (15.1% each). These patterns may be influenced by the area’s character, with public order crimes potentially linked to increased foot traffic during the Easter period. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and spring weather—may have contributed to fluctuations in crime types, though the overall rate remains a concern. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, compared to Brynmawr’s 3.2 per 1,000, indicating a significant localised issue. Anti-social behaviour, though lower in absolute terms, is 13% above the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in community spaces. The area’s crime profile, shaped by its urban environment and seasonal rhythms, requires ongoing attention from local authorities to address these disparities effectively.

April 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in public order crimes, rising from 2 to 8 incidents, a stark contrast to the previous month. This surge, while not uncommon during the Easter period, is notable given the area’s generally lower baseline for such offences. Meanwhile, violent crimes fell by 32% compared to March, decreasing from 25 to 17 cases. This decline may reflect seasonal changes, with fewer outdoor activities during the Easter break potentially reducing opportunities for such crimes. Other significant shifts include a 33.3% drop in anti-social behaviour, likely linked to reduced foot traffic in public spaces during the holiday period. However, the rate of public order offences remains 178% above the UK average, underscoring a localised challenge that warrants attention. For residents, the 300% rise in public order crimes offers a clear indicator of the need for community engagement and targeted policing in this area.

Brynmawr's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 10.0 per 1,000 residents, a 17.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 12.1. While this represents a welcome decline, the area remains significantly above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the local figure reveals an average of two crimes reported each day in April—a rate that, while lower than the prior month, still reflects the persistent challenges faced by the community. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure indicates that one crime occurred for every 100 residents over the course of April. This figure, though not directly comparable to national statistics, underscores the concentrated nature of crime in this built-up area. The decline from March may be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the Easter holiday period reducing certain types of activity, but the overall rate remains a concern for local authorities and residents alike.
