Bracknell Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Bracknell's crime profile in July 2025, accounting for 41.6% of all reported crimes. This category, at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, was 5% below the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by the area’s relatively stable social environment compared to larger urban centres. The overall crime rate of 7.1 per 1,000 residents placed Bracknell 17.4% below the UK average, a consistent trend that has likely been reinforced by the area’s suburban character and lower population density. Anti-social behaviour (16.3% share) and shoplifting (8.6% share) followed as the next most common categories, with both showing rates below UK averages. July’s peak summer conditions, including school holidays and festivals, may have contributed to an uptick in public order offences and property crime, though these were offset by declines in burglary and public disorder. The seasonal context of July — a time of increased outdoor activity and tourism — likely played a role in shaping the crime profile, with violent incidents linked to social gatherings and events. Bracknell’s lower-than-average rates for theft from the person (100% below UK) and drugs-related crime (29% below UK) further underscore the area’s comparatively safer environment, though the sharp rise in 'other crime' highlights the need for continued monitoring of emerging trends.

July 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime categories, with 'other crime' surging by 250% compared to the previous month, and robbery rising by 233.3%. These increases, though notable, are tempered by declines in burglary (-44%) and public order offences (-43.1%). The dominance of violence and sexual offences (256 cases) remains a striking feature, with this category recording a rate of 2.9 per 1,000 — 5% below the UK average. The sharp rise in bicycle theft (71.4%) may be linked to increased outdoor activity during the summer months. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (100 cases) and shoplifting (53 cases) continued to reflect patterns consistent with Bracknell’s urban character. Residents may find the 12.9% month-on-month increase in overall crime rate a useful benchmark for understanding local trends.

Bracknell's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 12.9% compared to June, moving from 6.3 to 7.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as summer festivals and extended outdoor activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 20 reported crimes each day, a figure that, while locally relevant, does not directly compare to national daily averages due to data limitations. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 141 residents over the course of July, a rate that remains significantly below the UK average. This statistic, when contextualised against Bracknell's population of 86,947, illustrates that the area maintains a lower risk profile compared to the national average. The rise in violent crime, particularly in the context of a summer peak, may be consistent with increased social interactions and events typical of the season.
