Bordon Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bordon’s crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents in February 2025 stands 55.2% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, highlighting a markedly safer profile compared to national trends. This built-up area within East Hampshire experiences a crime profile shaped by seasonal rhythms and local demographics. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime picture, comprising 62.1% of all reported incidents, followed by public order offences (13.8%) and anti-social behaviour (6.9%). The dominance of violent crime in Bordon contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences account for 2.4 per 1,000 residents. This local pattern may reflect the area’s characteristics, such as community dynamics or policing focus. February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull likely contribute to the subdued crime levels, with fewer opportunities for property crimes or public disorder. The relatively low property crime rate (4 incidents, or 1.9 per 1,000) compared to the UK average further underscores Bordon’s distinct profile. While the area’s safety is evident, the high proportion of violent crime suggests targeted interventions or community-specific factors warranting closer attention. Seasonal transitions, such as the shift from winter to spring, may influence crime patterns, though February’s data shows no significant spikes in theft or burglary. The overall picture illustrates a community where violent incidents remain the primary concern, despite a broader context of lower crime rates than the national average.

February 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends within Bordon. Public order offences surged by 300%, rising from 1 to 4 incidents, a stark increase that may reflect heightened local tensions or events during the month. Burglary also doubled, with 2 incidents reported compared to 1 in January, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Conversely, other theft dropped by 83.3% (from 6 to 1), and possession of weapons fell by 75.0% (from 4 to 1), suggesting a possible reduction in targeted criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.9 per 1,000 residents, remain 19% below the UK average, indicating a consistent focus on addressing violent crime in the area. The breakdown reveals that anti-social behaviour (0.2 per 1,000) and criminal damage (0.1 per 1,000) are both significantly below UK averages, though these categories are minor contributors to the overall crime rate. For residents, the sharp rise in public order offences offers a specific insight into local challenges, potentially linked to community events or enforcement priorities. The contrast between violent crime and property crime rates highlights a unique profile, with violent incidents dominating the crime mix despite the area’s overall safety compared to national figures.

Bordon’s February 2025 crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 43.2% decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.4 per 1,000, illustrating a significant downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day over the 28-day period, a figure that, while low, provides context for residents assessing local safety. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 329 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Bordon’s crime rate remains strikingly lower, with a 55.2% deficit that positions it as an outlier in national statistics. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the 18 reported violent crimes, the overall crime rate is diluted by Bordon’s smaller population compared to larger urban centres. This contrast is particularly evident in categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 79% below the UK average, suggesting a community with lower levels of disorderly conduct. However, the area’s violent crime rate, while below the national average, remains a focal point for local authorities. The 43.2% month-on-month reduction highlights the potential impact of seasonal factors, such as reduced outdoor activity in February, on crime patterns. These figures, when contextualised against population size and UK averages, illustrate a community where safety is generally maintained, albeit with targeted challenges in violent crime prevention.
