Baglan Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 12,497 residents, Baglan recorded 88 crimes in June 2025—a figure that translates to 7.0 crimes per 1,000 people, placing the area 13.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This relatively low crime rate, combined with a stable month-on-month trend, suggests a consistent pattern of crime management in the built-up area. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.6% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (28.4%) and public order offences (12.5%). These figures align with the seasonal context of June, a time when increased daylight and the onset of summer activities may contribute to higher levels of public interaction and, consequently, anti-social behaviour. The area’s crime profile also shows a marked contrast with UK averages: while violent crime rates are 6% below the national average, anti-social behaviour and public order offences exceed UK rates by 41% and 53% respectively. This divergence may reflect local factors such as the built-up nature of Baglan, which could foster more frequent social encounters in public spaces, or the influence of nearby communities with higher rates of disorder. The relatively low levels of property crime—only 15 incidents (17% of total crimes)—contrast with the higher proportion of violent and disorder-related offences, a pattern consistent with areas where community-based policing and local initiatives have historically focused on reducing anti-social conduct. As June marks the start of the summer season, the area’s crime profile may be influenced by increased tourism, longer evenings, and the associated activities that accompany this period. However, the stability in the crime rate compared to previous months suggests that any seasonal fluctuations are being managed effectively. The overall picture illustrates that Baglan’s crime profile is characterised by a balance between persistent challenges in managing public order and a generally lower incidence of property crime compared to the UK average.

June saw a marked rise in anti-social behaviour, jumping 47.1% from 17 to 25 incidents. This surge, while not uncommon in summer months, may reflect the area’s proximity to local festivals or events that draw larger crowds. Conversely, vehicle crime and shoplifting both fell sharply—vehicle crime dropped 66.7% and shoplifting by 50%—potentially linked to increased police patrols or seasonal changes in retail activity. The breakdown of crimes reveals a striking contrast: violent crimes accounted for 38.6% of total incidents, a proportion significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000 vs. 2.7 per 1,000). Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (28.4% of total crimes) and public order offences (12.5%) exceeded UK averages by 41% and 53% respectively, highlighting local challenges in managing community disturbances. For residents, the 47.1% increase in anti-social behaviour is a concrete data point that may influence local safety strategies.

Baglan’s crime rate in June 2025 remained stable compared to May, dropping slightly to 7.0 per 1,000 residents from 7.1 per 1,000—a 1.1% decrease. This consistency suggests no major shifts in criminal activity over the past month. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 3 crimes reported each day, a figure that contextualises the monthly total of 88 into manageable daily intervals. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 142 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Baglan below the UK average for similar-sized built-up areas. This statistic, while not directly comparable to national figures, underscores that local residents face a lower likelihood of encountering crime than the average UK citizen. The population size of 12,497 further contextualises these numbers, showing that 88 crimes represent a relatively low proportion of the community’s total population, reinforcing the area’s overall safety profile.
