Brinsworth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brinsworth's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 7.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 10.5% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.6. This performance places the built-up area within Rotherham as one of the safer regions in the country, though the local crime profile reveals distinct patterns. Anti-social behaviour dominated the crime profile, accounting for 41.8% of all reported incidents (28 cases), a rate of 3.2 per 1,000 that is 106% above the UK average for this category. This statistic may be partially explained by the area's summer dynamics, as schools were out and festivals and events likely increased social interactions in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average (1.3 vs 3.0 per 1,000), remained a significant concern, comprising 16.4% of total crimes. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, tourism, and festivals—likely influenced these patterns, with outdoor events potentially contributing to both anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. Property crimes (18 cases) and violent crimes (11 cases) together accounted for 43.3% of all reported offences, suggesting a balance between personal safety concerns and property-related issues. The absence of major spikes in burglary or vehicle crime, which were 63% and 79% below UK averages respectively, indicates that Brinsworth's compact urban layout and limited commercial infrastructure may help deter these types of crime. However, the 700% increase in public order offences highlights the need for targeted interventions during summer months, when the combination of high foot traffic and extended daylight hours can create conditions conducive to disorderly conduct.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 700% increase in public order offences, rising from one to eight incidents. This spike, while statistically significant, must be contextualised within Brinsworth's seasonal dynamics. The area's summer festivals and extended daylight hours likely contribute to increased social activity, which may partly explain the surge. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 22.2% compared to June, dropping from 36 to 28 incidents—a shift that could reflect improved community engagement or temporary changes in event attendance. Drugs-related crimes doubled from one to two incidents, a rise that aligns with UK-wide patterns of increased substance use during warmer months. The breakdown of crime types also reveals stark contrasts with national averages: anti-social behaviour in Brinsworth is 106% above the UK average (3.2 vs 1.6 per 1,000), while violence and sexual offences are 57% below (1.3 vs 3.0 per 1,000). This divergence highlights the unique character of Brinsworth, where community cohesion may mitigate violent crime despite the challenges posed by transient summer populations.

Brinsworth's crime rate remained stable at 7.7 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. Locally, this equates to approximately two crimes reported each day, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 131 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Brinsworth well below the UK average when considering population density and urban characteristics. The stability in crime rates contrasts with national trends, where many areas experience seasonal spikes during summer. However, Brinsworth's compact built-up area and limited tourism infrastructure may contribute to this resilience, as larger urban centres often see increased property crime and public order issues during peak holiday periods. The local population of 8,758 residents further contextualises these figures, meaning that the crime rate is distributed across a relatively small community where social networks and local policing may play a role in maintaining stability.
