Brundall Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brundall's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 61% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This significant reduction positions the built-up area within Broadland as one of the safest places in the country. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (46.7% of all incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.0%) and drugs (13.3%). These patterns may reflect the area's character as a relatively small, low-density built-up area with limited commercial or nightlife activity. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter celebrations and the transition to spring—likely influenced crime dynamics, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to higher visibility and deterrence. However, the rise in drug-related offences (from 0 to 2 incidents) suggests other factors may be at play. Violence and sexual offences, while up 16.7% month-on-month, remain significantly below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences both declined, with the latter falling by 50% compared to March. These trends, combined with the overall low crime rate, indicate a community where crime prevention measures may be effective, though further analysis is needed to confirm this. The data also highlights the importance of contextual factors: for instance, the relatively low property crime rate (2 incidents) may be linked to Brundall's residential nature rather than commercial density. The absence of significant increases in shoplifting or theft from the person, both of which are typically higher in tourist or retail-heavy areas, further supports this interpretation. As the year progresses, continued monitoring will be essential to determine whether these patterns persist or shift with changing local conditions.

April 2025 saw a notable rise in drug-related offences, which doubled from 0 to 2 incidents. This increase, while small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal factors such as Easter gatherings or changes in local activity patterns. Violence and sexual offences rose by 16.7% compared to March, with 7 incidents reported—still 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour fell by 40%, dropping from 5 to 3 incidents, a decline consistent with the broader trend of lower crime in Brundall. Public order offences also decreased by 50%, from 2 to 1, marking one of the most significant month-on-month reductions. These shifts suggest a combination of local dynamics. For residents, the 61% reduction in overall crime compared to the UK average underscores Brundall's relative safety.

Brundall's crime rate in April 2025 fell to 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 39.9% drop from the previous month's rate of 4.9 per 1,000. This reduction positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its current rate 61% below the national average. Over the course of the month, 15 crimes were recorded, equating to roughly one reported crime for every 339 residents. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 0 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the low overall volume but may not capture rare spikes. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure of 1-in-339 residents highlights the rarity of crime in Brundall compared to larger urban centres. The drop from April 2025 to March 2025 aligns with seasonal patterns, as Easter-related activities and spring weather may have contributed to increased community engagement or reduced opportunities for certain crimes.
