Bracknell Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bracknell's June 2025 crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents places it 22.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a consistent trend reflecting the area's generally lower crime profile. Violence and sexual offences remain the most common category, accounting for 41.0% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.3%) and public order offences (10.7%). This distribution aligns with Bracknell's character as a built-up area within Bracknell Forest, where social interactions and public spaces may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and violence. Seasonal factors likely play a role, as the start of summer and longer days may influence both criminal activity and police visibility. While property crimes such as shoplifting and burglary remain below UK averages, the rise in public order offences could be linked to increased foot traffic and events during the summer months. This pattern is consistent with other urban centres where seasonal transitions impact crime trends, though Bracknell's overall rate remains lower than the national average.

The most dramatic month-on-month change occurred in possession of weapons, which surged by 300% from one incident in May to four in June. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a notable shift in crime patterns. Burglary also saw a sharp increase, rising 127.3% from 11 to 25 incidents, potentially linked to seasonal changes or increased property-related activity. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 46.2%, a decline that may reflect improved security measures or reduced summer cycling activity. Public order offences, while still below the UK average, rose 28.9% compared to the previous month, suggesting a potential link to the start of the summer season and increased public gatherings. These shifts underscore the dynamic nature of Bracknell's crime profile and the need for targeted local responses.

Bracknell's crime rate in June 2025 rose 7.2% compared to May, reflecting a slight upward trend. The monthly exposure figure shows that over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 160 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population. Daily crime counts averaged 18 incidents per day, a figure that highlights the frequency of reported crimes in the built-up area. While the overall rate remains 22.2% below the UK average, the increase from the previous month suggests a need to monitor emerging patterns. The population-scaled perspective indicates that Bracknell's crime profile, though lower than the national average, shows local fluctuations that could be influenced by seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during summer. This context is crucial for understanding how crime rates translate into real-world experiences for residents.
