Anti-social behaviour, at 17.3% of total crimes, stood out as a significant concern, 23% above the UK average—a figure that may reflect Bromley's densely populated urban character and the pressures of seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Vehicle crime, at 11.9% of total crimes, was 125% above the UK average, a discrepancy that likely stems from Bromley's role as a commuter hub with extensive parking infrastructure.
