Queensbury Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Queensbury’s crime rate in June 2025 was 8.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 1.2% above the UK average of 8.1. This figure, while slightly elevated nationally, masks a complex mix of crime types that reflect the area’s social and geographic characteristics. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 48.4% of all incidents, with a rate of 4.0 per 1,000—40% higher than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed at 13.7%, though it occurred at a rate 23% below the national average, a contrast that may be linked to local initiatives or demographic factors. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced crime patterns, with opportunities for theft and public order offences rising alongside increased outdoor activity. However, the data also shows a significant spike in criminal damage and arson, which rose by 200% compared to the previous month, suggesting a possible link to seasonal events or environmental factors. This increase, combined with the persistent overrepresentation of violent crime, indicates that Queensbury faces unique challenges in crime prevention that may require targeted interventions. The area’s position within Bradford, a larger urban centre, likely contributes to its crime profile, with the proximity to transport hubs and commercial zones driving certain types of criminal activity. While the overall rate remains close to the UK average, the specific trends in violent and property crime highlight the need for continued monitoring and community-based strategies to address local concerns.

June 2025 saw a sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, surging by 200% from three to nine incidents. This spike, coupled with a 100% increase in both drugs-related offences and bicycle theft, highlights emerging trends in the area’s crime profile. Meanwhile, shoplifting and vehicle crime both fell—shoplifting dropped by two-thirds, and vehicle crime by half—suggesting shifts in criminal focus or policing effectiveness. Violent crimes, which accounted for nearly half of all incidents, remained 40% above the UK average, a persistent concern for local authorities. Anti-social behaviour, though down compared to previous months, still occurred at a rate 23% below the national average, indicating a possible success in community engagement or enforcement efforts in this category. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of crime in Queensbury, where specific incidents can significantly alter monthly statistics.

Queensbury's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 12.8% compared to May 2025, falling from 9.4 to 8.2 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of late spring, when longer daylight hours and warmer weather may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. Locally, the monthly average translates to roughly three crimes reported each day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 122 residents, a ratio that reflects the area’s population density and distribution of criminal activity. This monthly exposure rate is useful for understanding the scale of risk relative to the community size, though it does not capture the full picture of crime severity or distribution across different areas within Queensbury. The drop from May also suggests a potential shift in criminal activity patterns, possibly influenced by local events or seasonal changes in community behaviour.
