Brampton Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brampton's February 2025 crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents places it 26.9% below the UK average of 6.7, a significant disparity that underscores the area's relatively low crime profile. With 32 crimes reported in a population of 6,539, the volume of crime translates to a manageable level for such a small built-up area. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 53.1% of all incidents (17 cases), a rate of 2.6 per 1,000 that is 11% above the UK average for this category. Shoplifting followed with 12.5% of total crimes (4 cases), slightly below the UK average, while public order offences contributed 9.4% (3 cases), 14% above the national rate. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—may explain the lower overall crime rate compared to busier periods. However, the rise in violent crimes could be linked to factors such as increased indoor gatherings or limited recreational options during colder weather. The data also reveals a stark contrast in property crime trends: while shoplifting and public order offences rose slightly, vehicle crime fell dramatically, reflecting changes in local policing strategies or seasonal shifts in criminal focus. Brampton's crime picture thus illustrates a balance between typical rural-urban dynamics and specific local factors that may influence crime patterns.

February 2025 saw a 13.3% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 15 to 17 incidents, which remains 11% above the UK average for this category. Shoplifting rose by 33.3% (3 to 4 cases), though still 3% below the UK average. Criminal damage and arson doubled, with two incidents reported, a stark contrast to the single case in January. Meanwhile, vehicle crime plummeted by 75%, from four to one incident, significantly below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This sharp decline in vehicle-related crime may indicate heightened awareness or improved security measures in local parking areas. The breakdown also reveals anti-social behaviour at 0.3 per 1,000, 69% below the UK average, suggesting a relatively calm social environment despite the rise in violent crimes. These shifts highlight a combination of seasonal factors and local crime dynamics.

Brampton's crime rate in February 2025 fell by 15.8% compared to the previous month, dropping from 5.8 to 4.9 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with typical seasonal trends, as February often sees reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in public spaces. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that translates to a manageable frequency for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 204 residents, highlighting the relatively low exposure to crime in a population of 6,539. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, reflecting Brampton's position as a smaller, built-up area with potentially stronger community policing or lower population density compared to larger urban centres. The drop in vehicle crime by 75% from the previous month is particularly striking, suggesting a possible shift in criminal activity patterns or increased security measures in parking areas.
