Broadland Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broadland’s crime rate in June 2025 remained 54.3% below the UK average, standing at 3.7 per 1,000 residents. This figure, while a marked improvement over national levels, does not eliminate the need for continued monitoring, particularly as the month’s data highlights shifts in crime patterns. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 49.1% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.6%) and public order offences (7.6%). These trends align with the seasonal context of June, which marks the start of the summer season—a time when increased social activity and tourism can influence crime dynamics. The area’s relatively low levels of property crime, such as shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000) and burglary (0.2 per 1,000), both of which are significantly below UK averages, suggest that Broadland’s community and infrastructure may contribute to a safer environment. However, the dominance of violent and anti-social crimes indicates that local factors, such as population density or community engagement, could play a role. The seasonal transition from spring to summer may also influence outdoor crime, with longer daylight hours altering patterns of activity and exposure. While the overall crime rate remains a positive indicator, the specific emphasis on violent crime and anti-social behaviour signals a need for targeted community strategies, particularly as the summer months progress.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in bicycle theft, with incidents surging 300% from 1 to 4. This spike may be linked to increased summer cycling activity, though no direct causal factors are confirmed. Simultaneously, possession of weapons rose 200% (1 to 3), a concerning development that could reflect seasonal changes in behaviour or unverified local trends. Anti-social behaviour also increased by 60%, from 50 to 80 incidents, a shift that may be tied to the start of the summer season and longer evenings. In contrast, drug-related crimes fell by 50%, and vehicle crime dropped by 50%, both from 8 to 4 cases. These decreases may indicate improved enforcement or reduced demand during the summer months. The breakdown shows that Broadland’s violent crime rate (1.8 per 1,000) is 37% below the UK average, yet the rise in anti-social behaviour and weapons possession warrants attention from local authorities and residents alike.

Broadland’s crime rate in June 2025 rose 12.8% compared to the previous month, climbing from 3.3 to 3.7 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is modest, it underscores the need for vigilance, particularly as the month aligns with the start of summer—a period when outdoor activity and tourism typically rise. On average, 17 crimes were reported daily in June, a figure that, while lower than many urban areas, remains a local concern. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 269 residents, a statistic that contextualises the frequency of incidents for someone living in Broadland. This monthly exposure rate is consistent with the area’s broader trend of remaining well below the UK average, but the upward movement from May suggests a potential shift in local dynamics. The population context further highlights that even small changes in crime rates can have meaningful impacts when scaled across 138,157 residents.
