Broadland Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broadland’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 3.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 54.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This stark contrast with national figures underscores the area’s generally low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 49.1% of all reported incidents. Anti-social behaviour followed at 15.6%, with public order offences making up 7.6%. These figures align with the seasonal context of June, the start of summer, which may contribute to increased public interactions and potential conflicts. The area’s lower crime rate compared to the UK could reflect a combination of effective local policing, community engagement, and the characteristics of Broadland itself—a mix of urban and rural elements with fewer high-risk zones. However, the rise in violent crime and anti-social behaviour suggests that underlying issues, such as social cohesion or economic factors, may be at play. The relatively low rates of property crimes, such as shoplifting and burglary, which are 68% and 29% below UK averages respectively, further illustrate the area’s distinct profile. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in high-risk categories while maintaining the positive momentum of overall crime reduction.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in bicycle theft, rising from one to four incidents. This surge may partly explain the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, which also climbed by 60% to 80 incidents. The spike in bicycle theft, while small in absolute terms, could indicate a shift in criminal activity linked to summer tourism or increased cycling during longer evenings. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 50%, from eight to four incidents, due to reduced car usage in warmer weather or improved security measures. Violent crimes, though remaining 37% below the UK average, accounted for nearly half of all reported incidents, highlighting the persistent challenge of violence and sexual offences in the area. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or public events, where anti-social behaviour and bicycle theft are likely to occur.

Broadland’s crime rate rose to 3.7 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, a 12.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.3. This shift, though modest, highlights a growing trend in specific crime categories. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 269 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. While this rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, the rise underscores the need for continued vigilance. Daily crime statistics show 17 crimes reported each day in June, a local metric that reflects the area’s ongoing challenges. When scaled to the population of 138,157, the 3.7 rate illustrates that the majority of residents are not directly affected, but the increase in specific categories demands attention. The comparison to the previous month also reveals that crime is not static, and shifts in patterns may reflect seasonal or local factors, such as the start of summer and increased outdoor activity.
