Brinsworth Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brinsworth’s October 2025 crime rate stood at 6.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 18.2% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure, though lower than the national benchmark, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal trends. Violence and sexual offences (23 incidents, 41.8% of total) were the most prevalent category, with a rate of 2.6 per 1,000—2% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed with 8 incidents (14.6% of total), a rate of 0.9 per 1,000, 29% below the UK figure. These patterns may be influenced by Brinsworth’s built-up urban character, where high-density living and community interactions can shape crime dynamics. The month’s seasonal context—shorter days, Halloween, and the transition into colder weather—likely contributed to shifts in criminal activity. For instance, the surge in burglary and other theft may be linked to increased home security measures or opportunistic crimes during darker evenings. Conversely, the drop in anti-social behaviour could reflect seasonal changes in community engagement or reduced outdoor activity. The data also shows that property crimes (17 incidents) and violent crimes (23 incidents) together accounted for 75% of all reported incidents, suggesting a focus on personal and property-related offences. This balance contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically make up a smaller proportion. The low rates of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000, 52% below UK average) and shoplifting (0.1 per 1,000, 84% below UK average) may reflect Brinsworth’s limited retail presence or effective local policing strategies. However, the 133% increase in burglary compared to the UK average highlights a specific vulnerability. These findings, when contextualized with Brinsworth’s urban setting and seasonal factors, suggest that localized efforts—such as community outreach or targeted patrols—could address emerging trends while maintaining the area’s generally lower crime profile.

The most striking change in October 2025 was the 200% increase in burglary, rising from 2 to 6 incidents. This sharp rise, though still below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 (Brinsworth’s rate was 0.7 per 1,000), suggests a potential shift in criminal activity. Concurrently, other theft also surged by 200%, indicating a possible focus on property-related crimes during the month. In contrast, anti-social behaviour fell by 33.3%, a decrease that may reflect seasonal changes or community initiatives. Vehicle crime dropped by 60%, aligning with broader UK trends but remaining 52% below the national average. The breakdown reveals a mixed picture: while violent crime (23 incidents, 41.8% of total) and property crimes dominate, Brinsworth’s violent crime rate is 2% below the UK average. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted local responses to rising burglary rates, particularly in light of October’s darker evenings and Halloween-related activity.

Brinsworth's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 25.1% compared to the previous month, climbing from 5.0 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents. This increase. below the UK average, reflects a notable uptick in reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 159 residents by the end of October. This monthly exposure rate, while lower than the UK average, highlights the importance of localized trends. The population context further underscores that Brinsworth's crime dynamics are distinct from national patterns, with specific categories like burglary and other theft showing stark deviations from UK averages. These figures, when contextualized within the area’s built-up environment and seasonal shifts, suggest that localized factors—such as increased home security awareness or seasonal events—may influence crime trends in ways that differ from broader UK data.
