Crowthorne Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences remain the dominant category in Crowthorne's June 2025 crime profile, accounting for 40% of all reported incidents and 44% below the UK average. With an overall crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents, the area continues to maintain a safety margin 50.6% below the national average of 8.1. This stark contrast with UK-wide figures highlights the unique characteristics of Crowthorne, a semi-rural built-up area within Bracknell Forest where community cohesion and local policing likely contribute to sustained low crime levels. The breakdown of crime types reveals a focus on interpersonal disputes and disorder, with anti-social behaviour (18.3%) and public order offences (11.7%) forming the second and third most common categories. These patterns align with the area's character as a residential community with limited commercial density, where public spaces are more likely to be used for social interaction than high-traffic retail or nightlife. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as June marks the beginning of summer when outdoor activity increases, potentially influencing both anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. However, the absence of significant spikes in property crimes—such as shoplifting, which fell by 62.5%—suggests that the area's crime drivers are distinct from typical urban hotspots. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.3 per 1,000) and even lower figures for criminal damage (0.3 per 1,000) further reinforce the notion that Crowthorne's crime profile is shaped more by social dynamics than economic or environmental factors. This pattern is consistent with other built-up areas in Bracknell Forest, where community policing and lower population density contribute to sustained safety outcomes.

June 2025 saw a notable 100% increase in drug-related offences and other unspecified crimes, with both categories rising from zero to one incident. This contrasts sharply with a 62.5% drop in shoplifting, which fell from eight to three incidents, possibly reflecting seasonal changes in retail activity or targeted interventions. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, contributing 40% of all crimes, a rate 44% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also saw a 21.4% decrease, dropping from 14 to 11 incidents, though it still remains 51% below the UK average. The shift in crime mix highlights a persistent focus on violent and disorderly incidents, which together account for over 58% of reported crimes. For residents, the 100% rise in drug offences may signal a need for local awareness, though no direct causal factors are evident from the data. The stark contrast between rising drug-related crimes and falling shoplifting rates illustrates the combination of local dynamics affecting different crime categories.

Crowthorne's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 9.2% decrease from the previous month's 4.5 per 1,000. This decline places the area significantly below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, with a 50.6% gap maintained despite seasonal shifts. Locally, the monthly tally of 60 crimes translates to roughly two crimes reported each day, a figure that remains consistent with the area's historical patterns. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for every 247 residents, a metric that provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. While the overall rate remains low, the month-on-month changes highlight pockets of fluctuation: drug-related offences and other unspecified crimes saw a 100% increase from zero to one incident, while shoplifting dropped sharply by 62.5%. These variations may reflect transient factors such as local events or temporary shifts in community activity, though are evident from the data alone. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Crowthorne's crime profile remains markedly safer than the national average, even as specific categories show minor fluctuations.
