Bulkington Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bulkington's crime rate in October 2025 stands at 6.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 15.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This overall figure conceals a complex mix of crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 37.5% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 27.5%. The dominance of violent crime, which rose by 50% month-on-month, contrasts with the sharp declines in vehicle crime and other thefts, suggesting that local efforts to enhance security may be yielding results in certain areas. However, the surge in anti-social behaviour—now 43% above the UK average—raises questions about the impact of seasonal factors, such as the Halloween period, on community dynamics. The area's crime profile also shows a stark divergence in drug-related offences, which tripled from zero to three incidents, a category that is now 79% above the UK average. This anomaly may reflect changes in local enforcement priorities or shifts in drug activity patterns. The seasonal context of October, with its shorter days and the transition to winter, likely contributes to increased social gatherings and associated disturbances, though the precise link between these factors and the rise in anti-social behaviour remains speculative. The relatively low rate of property crime, with burglary and other thefts collectively accounting for just 12.5% of all incidents, further underscores the area's distinct crime profile compared to the national average.

October 2025 saw a 57.1% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 7 to 11 incidents—a category that is 43% above the UK average. This surge coincides with the darker evenings of autumn and the Halloween period, which may contribute to heightened social tensions or increased public gatherings. Meanwhile, drugs-related crimes tripled from zero to three incidents, a dramatic 100% increase that suggests a potential shift in local drug activity or enforcement patterns. In contrast, vehicle crime and other thefts both declined sharply: vehicle crime fell by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), and other thefts dropped by 87.5% (from 8 to 1), indicating possible improvements in security measures or reduced opportunities. The violent crime category also rose by 50%, from 10 to 15 incidents, though it remains 10% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime trends, with some categories showing marked improvements while others present new challenges.

Bulkington's crime rate in October 2025 (6.5 per 1,000) represents a sustained downward trend, reflecting a 14.9% reduction from the previous month's rate of 7.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area's broader pattern of maintaining crime levels below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a figure that may help residents contextualise risk in relation to their routines. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 154 residents, a statistic that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents within the local population of 6,150. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, yet the breakdown of crime types reveals distinct local variations. For instance, anti-social behaviour remains significantly above the UK average, suggesting that community-specific factors—such as local social dynamics or environmental conditions—play a role in shaping this particular category. These figures provide a nuanced perspective on safety, highlighting both the overall improvement and the persistent challenges in certain areas of the crime profile.
