Bodmin Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bodmin's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 11.5 per 1,000, placing it 42% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marked discrepancy highlights a stark contrast between the built-up area's criminal landscape and national trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 48.2% of all incidents and occurring at a rate of 5.6 per 1,000—nearly triple the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This outlier category may partly explain the area's elevated overall rate, though the reasons remain unexplored in the data. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage followed closely, each exceeding UK averages by 27% and 141%, respectively. These patterns could align with the area's seasonal context: June marks the beginning of summer, a period when tourism in rural Cornwall typically increases, contributing to heightened social tensions and property-related incidents. Meanwhile, shoplifting and vehicle crime remained significantly below UK averages, suggesting that certain crime types are less common in Bodmin. The breakdown also reveals a shift in the balance between property and violent crime, with the latter now comprising the majority of reported incidents. This shift may reflect local factors such as the area's demographic composition or the influence of transient populations during peak tourist season. While causal links, the combination of high violent crime rates and seasonal dynamics offers a tentative explanation for Bodmin's elevated crime profile compared to the UK as a whole.

June 2025 saw a stark 300% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from two to eight incidents. This surge, while unexplained by the data, contrasts with a 66.7% drop in vehicle crime and possession of weapons, which fell from three to one each. The shift in crime mix is also evident: violent crimes (5.6 per 1,000) now account for nearly half of all reported incidents, a significant departure from the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also exceeded national rates by 27% and 141%, respectively, reflecting patterns that may align with the area's seasonal dynamics. Conversely, shoplifting and vehicle crime were both below UK averages by 68% and 73%, suggesting that certain crime types remain less prevalent in Bodmin compared to other parts of the country.

Bodmin's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 11.6 per 1,000, a 0.5% decrease from the previous month, indicating little change in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately six crimes per day, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents in the built-up area. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for every 87 residents over the course of June, underscoring the level of risk faced by the local population. This rate is significantly higher than the UK average, but the month-on-month consistency suggests that underlying factors—such as the area's demographic profile or seasonal patterns—continue to exert a steady influence. The population context further highlights that, despite the relatively high rate, the absolute number of crimes (195) is manageable within the local community's size, though the disparity with national averages remains notable.
