Brundall Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Brundall, the crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 in June 2023 translates to a daily risk that is significantly lower than the UK average, which stands at 8.5 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective reveals that, on average, a Brundall resident has a 1-in-268 chance of being directly affected by a crime over the course of the month—a statistic that, while low, may still prompt consideration of local safety measures. The breakdown of crimes highlights a dominance of violent and sexual offences (8 cases, 42.1% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (5 cases, 26.3%). These figures may reflect the area's character as a built-up zone within Broadland, where social interactions and community density could contribute to such patterns. Seasonal factors, such as the start of summer and longer daylight hours, likely influence crime dynamics, increasing opportunities for certain offences while reducing others. Brundall's crime rate is 56.5% below the UK average, a gap that persists despite the month-on-month rise in specific categories. This contrast underscores the area's unique position within national crime trends, where factors like local governance, community cohesion, and geographic isolation may play roles in maintaining lower rates. The relatively low incidence of property crimes (3 cases, 15.8% of total) compared to the UK average further suggests that Brundall's built-up area status, with limited commercial zones, may reduce opportunities for theft and burglary.

June 2023 saw a notable spike in anti-social behaviour, which doubled from zero to five incidents, while public order and burglary each rose by 100% compared to May. These increases may align with the summer season's social dynamics, though the absence of a corresponding rise in property crimes suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Conversely, drug-related incidents fell by 50%, a decline that could reflect seasonal changes in substance use or enforcement efforts. Violence and sexual offences, though the most common category (42.1% of total crimes), remain 45% below the UK average, a disparity that highlights Brundall's distinct safety profile. Residents might find the 100% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as such incidents often impact local quality of life directly.

Brundall's crime rate in June 2023 rose to 3.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 35.6% increase from May's 2.8 per 1,000. This shift translates to one reported crime per day on average, a figure that may resonate with local residents navigating daily routines. Over the course of the month, 19 crimes were recorded, meaning one crime occurred for roughly every 268 residents—a rate that, while modest, reflects the area's small population. When scaled to the UK context, Brundall's overall crime rate remains 56.5% below the national average, a contrast that underscores the area's relative safety. However, the month-on-month rise in anti-social behaviour and burglary suggests that community vigilance may need to be heightened during the summer season, a period when local activities and social interactions intensify.
