Brough (East Riding of Yorkshire) Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences accounted for 53.5% of all reported crimes in Brough during June 2025, making it the dominant category in the area’s crime profile. With a total crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents, Brough’s figure is 65.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a markedly safer environment compared to national trends. This stark contrast may partly explain the area’s character as a relatively low-density built-up area within the East Riding of Yorkshire, where community cohesion and limited urban density could contribute to lower rates of property crime and anti-social behaviour. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role, as the start of summer and the beginning of the tourist season in coastal and rural parts of the region may influence patterns of social activity. While violence remains the most prevalent category, the distribution of other crime types—anti-social behaviour (14.0%), other theft (9.3%), and criminal damage (9.3%)—suggests a mix of localised tensions and occasional incidents that do not align with the higher rates typically seen in larger urban centres. Brough’s crime profile shows no significant clustering in property crime, with burglary and vehicle crime both remaining below UK averages by more than 60%, indicating a low incidence of opportunistic theft in residential or commercial areas.

June 2025 saw a 300% increase in criminal damage and arson cases, rising from 1 to 4 reports. This sharp rise may indicate a surge in vandalism linked to seasonal events or increased foot traffic during the early summer months. Concurrently, vehicle crime doubled from 1 to 2, potentially reflecting heightened activity in parking areas or the presence of unsecured vehicles during warmer evenings. Other crime also rose by 100%, marking a new category in the monthly breakdown that may signal emerging patterns or underreported incidents. In contrast, public order offences fell by 83.3%, from 6 to 1, a decline that could be attributed to the closure of seasonal venues or reduced gatherings as the month progressed. Burglary rates also dropped by 75%, from 4 to 1, suggesting a possible improvement in residential security measures or a reduction in opportunities for targeted theft. Violence and sexual offences, while remaining the most common category, were 48% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, highlighting a consistent divergence from national trends. This discrepancy may be explained by Brough’s character as a smaller, more tightly knit community where informal social controls and lower population density contribute to reduced rates of violent crime compared to densely populated urban areas.

Brough’s crime rate in June 2025 rose slightly to 2.8 per 1,000 residents from 2.7 in May, marking a 4.8% increase. This marginal shift, however, remains well below the UK average and underscores the area’s continued position as one of the safer built-up areas in the East Riding of Yorkshire. On a daily basis, the 43 reported crimes translate to roughly one incident per day, a figure that may seem low to residents but reflects the small population of 15,115. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 352 residents, a ratio that illustrates the relative rarity of criminal activity in this part of the region. When scaled to the local population, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to experience crime directly, though the slight upward trend from May warrants attention. The population-scaled perspective also highlights that Brough’s crime levels are not only significantly lower than the UK average but also proportionally less impactful for individual residents compared to areas with higher rates. This context may help residents contextualise the numbers, particularly as the area’s low crime profile persists despite the seasonal increase in certain categories.
