Llanharan and Brynna Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

July 2025 marked a combination of seasonal and local factors in Llanharan and Brynna, a built-up area within Rhondda Cynon Taf. The overall crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents placed the area 18.6% above the UK average, a figure that underscores the challenges faced by this community. Violent crimes dominated the crime profile, accounting for 56.8% of total incidents, with 46 cases reported—significantly higher than the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000. This surge in violent offences, including sexual and assault-related incidents, may be linked to the summer season, when public spaces become more crowded and festivals draw larger crowds. Public order offences also rose sharply, reaching 1.6 per 1,000 residents, 150% above the UK average, likely driven by increased alcohol consumption and disorder during events. In contrast, anti-social behaviour and burglary saw notable declines, with anti-social behaviour dropping by 80% and burglary falling by 50%. These reductions could reflect the absence of school activities, which often correlate with higher youth-related incidents, or temporary measures taken by local authorities to enhance security. The data highlights a mixed picture, where certain crime types are exacerbated by seasonal factors, while others show signs of improvement. This duality suggests that the area’s crime profile is shaped by a combination of local demographics, the timing of events, and the impact of targeted interventions. As the summer continues, monitoring these trends will be crucial to understanding how to address persistent issues like violent crime while building on the progress seen in reducing anti-social behaviour and burglary.

July 2025 revealed stark shifts in crime patterns, with public order offences increasing by 225%—from four to thirteen cases—marking the most dramatic monthly change. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in shoplifting (from zero to one incident), suggests a possible link to summer festivals and extended public gatherings. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour dropped by 80%, likely reflecting the closure of schools and a reduction in youth-related incidents. Violent crimes remained high, at 91% above the UK average, with 46 incidents accounting for 56.8% of total crimes. This concentration of violent offences, including sexual offences and assault, may be influenced by the area’s seasonal dynamics, such as increased foot traffic during festivals. Burglary fell by 50%, potentially due to heightened community vigilance or temporary security measures during the summer months. These fluctuations highlight the need for ongoing analysis to address emerging trends in public order and violent crime.

July 2025 saw a 4.7% decrease in Llanharan and Brynna’s crime rate compared to June, falling from 10.8 to 10.2 per 1,000 residents. While this marks a slight improvement, the area remains 18.6% above the UK average, highlighting persistent challenges. On a daily basis, the community experienced roughly three crimes per day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 98 residents, a monthly exposure rate that provides context for local residents. This statistic, though not directly comparable to national figures, offers a clear snapshot of how often crime impacts individual households. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is lower than the previous month, the area still faces a higher burden than the UK average, particularly in violent and public order offences. These trends suggest that targeted interventions may be necessary to address underlying factors contributing to sustained elevated crime levels.
