Bradford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bradford's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 44.5% of all reported incidents. This imbalance, with violent offences significantly outpacing property crimes, contrasts sharply with the UK average, where violent crimes make up a smaller proportion of total incidents. The overall crime rate of 11.6 per 1,000 residents places Bradford 43.2% above the national average, a figure that underscores the area's unique challenges. The most prevalent crime category, violence and sexual offences, occurs at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, 82% higher than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This pattern may be influenced by local factors, such as the density of residential areas or the presence of high-traffic zones that contribute to interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average (1.2 per 1,000 vs. 1.4 per 1,000), remains a concern, particularly in urban centres where community cohesion is critical. The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of the summer—may play a role in shaping these patterns, as increased outdoor activity and tourism could influence both crime types and their visibility. However, the persistent gap between violent and property crimes suggests deeper socioeconomic or structural factors at play, which may require further analysis to address effectively.

June 2025 saw a 13.1% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 274 to 310 incidents.

Public order offences also rose by 5.3%, suggesting heightened tensions in public spaces during warmer evenings. Conversely, theft from the person dropped by 40.0%, from 65 to 39 incidents, a decline that may reflect improved security measures or seasonal changes in victim behavior. Bicycle theft fell by 34.3%, likely due to reduced use of bicycles during the summer months. Violent crimes remain 82% above the UK average, with 5.2 per 1,000 residents affected. This stark disparity highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where violent crime is concentrated.

Locally, 219 crimes were reported daily, a figure that highlights the persistent challenge of crime in the area.

When scaled to the population of 563,605, this reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, where the same monthly exposure would be lower. The stability in the overall rate does not mask the uneven distribution across crime types, with violent crimes continuing to dominate the landscape. This balance between persistent trends and localized fluctuations requires careful monitoring by local authorities and residents alike.
