Brinsworth Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In Brinsworth, the per-capita risk of experiencing a crime in April 2025 was 6.2 per 1,000 residents—19.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This translates to one reported crime for every 162 residents over the course of the month, a figure that, while low, highlights the uneven distribution of crime types. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for 53.7% of all incidents, far exceeding the UK average by 148%. This surge, which rose by 314.3% from March, may be tied to the Easter holiday period and increased outdoor activity typical of spring. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average by 62%, remained a concern, with 9 incidents reported. Shoplifting and public order offences also fell below national levels, suggesting effective local strategies in curbing these categories. The seasonal context of April—Easter and warmer weather—likely contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour, as public spaces became more crowded. However, the sharp decline in burglary and vehicle crime, both below UK averages, indicates potential improvements in community safety initiatives or environmental factors. The overall rate, though lower than the UK average, underscores the need for targeted approaches to address the disproportionate rise in anti-social behaviour, which now constitutes over half of all crimes reported. This contrast between national and local trends illustrates the combination of urban dynamics and seasonal shifts in crime patterns.

April saw a dramatic 314.3% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 7 to 29 incidents—a figure that dwarfs the UK average by 148%. This spike, occurring during the Easter holiday period, may reflect increased public gatherings and seasonal transitions. Conversely, burglary dropped 83.3% from 6 to 1 incident, possibly linked to improved community engagement or seasonal factors. Vehicle crime also fell by 50%, aligning with a broader trend of property crimes decreasing below UK averages. Violence and sexual offences remained 62% below the national average, suggesting effective local measures in reducing serious crime. For residents, the most immediate concern is anti-social behaviour, which now accounts for 53.7% of all reported crimes—over twice the UK average for this category. This shift in crime mix from March underscores the need for targeted interventions in public spaces.

Brinsworth's crime rate in April 2025 rose 17.5% from March's 5.3 per 1,000 to 6.2 per 1,000, marking the first increase in the past six months. This translates to roughly two crimes reported daily within the built-up area, a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the concentrated nature of urban environments. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for every 162 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the risk as relatively modest compared to national averages. However, the shift in crime patterns—particularly the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour—suggests local factors may be influencing this uptick. The population of 8,758 means each resident faces a 0.62% chance of being directly involved in a crime this month, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for community vigilance. This rate remains 19.5% below the UK average, but the distribution of crime types reveals stark local contrasts, such as anti-social behaviour far exceeding national levels.
