Bradwell (Great Yarmouth) Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Bradwell’s crime profile in September 2025, with 20 incidents reported—1.2 per 1,000 residents, 53% below the UK average. This stark contrast to national trends highlights the area’s unique dynamics. As a built-up district within Great Yarmouth, a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, Bradwell’s crime picture reflects local rhythms: September’s back-to-school period and university freshers’ week may contribute to higher violence rates, though the area remains significantly safer than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour accounts for 25% of all crimes, a category that often spikes in areas with high foot traffic or social events. The 3.0 per 1,000 crime rate for September is 59.5% lower than the UK’s 7.4 per 1,000, a gap that aligns with the area’s relatively low population density and possibly stronger community policing efforts. Property crimes, at 13 incidents, represent a smaller share of total crimes compared to the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives may be effective in deterring theft. Seasonal factors, such as shorter evenings and the transition from summer to autumn, likely influence patterns. The overall crime rate remains stable compared to previous months, with no significant spikes in categories like burglary or vehicle crime. This suggests a consistent, if not entirely predictable, crime environment in Bradwell.

September 2025 saw a 200% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 4 to 12 incidents—a sharp contrast to the previous month’s figures. This surge may reflect the return of students to the area or heightened social activity during the freshers’ period. Robbery and drug-related offences both doubled from zero to one incident each, a concerning anomaly that could indicate isolated incidents or a small-scale uptick in activity. Meanwhile, vehicle crime plummeted by 80%, dropping from 5 to 1, due to reduced traffic during the month or improved parking security measures. Shoplifting also fell sharply by 71.4%, from 7 to 2 incidents, linked to seasonal retail patterns or effective local deterrents. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category, are 53% below the UK average, a figure that underscores Bradwell’s relatively low violent crime environment. This discrepancy with national trends may stem from the area’s coastal location, which often sees fewer high-risk public spaces compared to urban centres. The drop in burglary by 50% to one incident further reinforces the notion that property crime is not a major concern here, though the small numbers make it difficult to draw firm conclusions.

Bradwell’s crime rate in September 2025 was 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a slight 2.1% increase from the previous month’s 2.9 per 1,000. This marginal rise is negligible in the context of the area’s overall safety, which remains 59.5% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area reported roughly 2 crimes per day—a figure that, while not insignificant, is far lower than the national average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 336 residents, a statistic that translates to a low probability of personal exposure. With a population of 16,135, this monthly exposure rate suggests that most residents are unlikely to experience crime directly. The previous month’s rate of 2.9 per 1,000 indicates a stable trend, with no major fluctuations in crime patterns. The daily crime count of 2 per day may be perceived as a small number by residents, though this is a localised figure and does not account for broader regional or national comparisons. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that Bradwell’s crime environment is markedly safer than the UK average, with the area’s built-up nature and coastal location likely contributing to this outcome.
