Bordon Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bordon’s crime rate in September 2025 remained at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, exactly matching the UK average. While the overall rate is stable, the breakdown of crime types reveals distinct trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38% of all reported crimes, though this category saw a steep drop from August, falling by 58.5%. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category, contributing 23.9% of incidents—54% above the UK average. This suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or seasonal transitions, may be influencing these patterns. Shoplifting also rose to 12.7% of total crimes, 48% above the national average, potentially linked to the back-to-school period and increased foot traffic in retail areas. The area’s crime profile reflects a mix of challenges: while violent crime appears to be easing, property-related offences and anti-social conduct remain elevated. This contrast may be partly explained by the start of the academic year, as students return to the area and local rhythms shift. However, the sharp increases in bicycle theft and other theft—both doubling from zero to two incidents—warrant closer scrutiny, as these categories suggest emerging vulnerabilities that could benefit from targeted community initiatives. The seasonal context of September, with its transition from summer to autumn, likely plays a role in shaping these patterns, though further analysis is needed to confirm direct links.

September saw sharp increases in three categories: other theft, bicycle theft, and other crime, each doubling from zero to two incidents. These jumps, though small in absolute terms, signal potential vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, violent crime dropped by 58.5% compared to August, with violence and sexual offences falling from 65 to 27. This decline may be partly explained by the start of the academic year, as students return to campuses and community activity shifts. However, anti-social behaviour remains 54% above the UK average, with 17 incidents reported—suggesting ongoing challenges in managing public conduct. Shoplifting also rose to 9 cases, 48% above the national rate, likely linked to the retail season and back-to-school shopping. The contrast between falling violent crime and rising non-violent offences underscores shifting patterns, with property-related and public order issues emerging as key concerns for residents.

Bordon's crime rate in September 2025 fell by 7.8% compared to August, dropping from 8.1 to 7.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 134 residents—a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for Bordon’s population of 9,539. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a consistent but low frequency relative to larger urban centres. While the overall rate matches the UK average, the composition of crime differs significantly: violent crime and anti-social behaviour are higher than the national benchmark. This suggests that local factors—such as community dynamics or seasonal transitions—play a role in shaping crime trends, even as the overall rate remains stable. The decrease from August may reflect the winding down of summer activities, though the sharp rise in specific categories like other theft and bicycle theft requires closer attention from residents.
