Brampton Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brampton's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, 30.2% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure marks a continuation of the area's consistently lower crime profile compared to national benchmarks, though it is not without its specific challenges. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 28.2% of all crimes, with a rate of 1.7 per 1,000—44% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 18.0%, also significantly below the national rate. However, shoplifting emerged as a notable outlier, with a rate 69% above the UK average (1.1 per 1,000), indicating a specific vulnerability in retail environments. The summer season, with its peak tourism, festivals, and school holidays, likely contributes to the mix of crime patterns observed. While violent crimes declined sharply, the surge in drug-related offences and the emergence of bicycle theft as a new category suggest evolving local dynamics. The area's built-up character within Huntingdonshire, combined with its seasonal rhythms, may explain the balance between reduced violent crime and increased property-related incidents. These patterns are consistent with smaller, commuter-focused areas where summer activities draw visitors but also create unique security challenges.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift occurred in drug-related offences, which surged by 400% (from 1 to 5 incidents). This increase, though modest in absolute terms, raises questions about potential local factors influencing such a steep rise. In contrast, violent crimes fell by 56% (from 25 to 11), a decline that aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as summer holidays and festivals may reduce opportunities for such incidents. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 56.3% (from 16 to 7), potentially reflecting the impact of community events or increased policing during peak tourist months. Shoplifting remained a notable concern, with a rate 69% above the UK average (1.1 per 1,000), highlighting vulnerabilities in retail security despite the overall decline in property crimes. The sharp increase in bicycle theft (100% from 0 to 1) suggests a need for targeted measures, linked to summer cycling activity or changes in local infrastructure.

Brampton's crime rate in July 2025 dropped to 6.0 per 1,000 residents, a 47.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 11.3 per 1,000. This marks a sharp reversal from the prior month's figures, reflecting a notable shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the monthly pace of incidents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 168 residents, offering a perspective on the likelihood of encountering crime within the community. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, underscoring Brampton's position as a relatively safer area. The population-scaled context highlights that, despite the absolute number of crimes, the rate remains well below the national benchmark, suggesting effective local measures or environmental factors that may be contributing to this trend.
