Wickersley and Bramley Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wickersley and Bramley recorded a crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, significantly below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This marks a 32.6% reduction compared to the national figure, a position the area has maintained for several months. The most prevalent category of crime was Violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.1% of all reported incidents, followed by Anti-social behaviour at 15.5% and Public order at 12.0%. These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and disorder, potentially influenced by the area’s urban character and the summer season, which brings increased public activity. July, as a peak summer month, aligns with higher levels of outdoor events, festivals, and tourism, which may contribute to the prominence of violent and anti-social crimes. However, the area’s lower-than-average rates in these categories indicate effective community measures or policing strategies. The rate of Violent Crimes (2.3 per 1,000) is 24% below the UK average, and Anti-social behaviour is 42% lower, highlighting the area’s relative safety despite the seasonal pressures. Public order offences, while still below the UK average, show a 9% increase, tied to the density of public spaces or the nature of local events. The overall crime picture for July reflects a balance between seasonal factors and local initiatives, with the area’s low rates in several categories suggesting a resilient community framework.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in Other theft, rising from 2 to 8 cases. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, reflects a sharp shift in criminal activity. Simultaneously, Criminal damage and arson doubled from 5 to 10 incidents, and Drugs offences rose from 0 to 1. These increases may be linked to summer events or unseasonal weather patterns. Conversely, Shoplifting fell by two-thirds, from 3 to 1, possibly due to heightened retail security or reduced footfall in certain areas. Vehicle crime dropped by 11.1%, aligning with a 79% above-UK-average rate but showing a slight decline. Violence and sexual offences remained 24% below the UK average, at 2.3 per 1,000, suggesting local factors—such as community policing or event management—may be influencing this category. Residents should be aware of the spike in Other theft, which could indicate targeted activity in specific locations.

The crime rate in Wickersley and Bramley rose by 20.2% in July 2025 compared to the previous month, increasing from 4.8 to 5.8 per 1,000 residents.

On a daily basis, 5 crimes were reported across 31 days, reflecting a local rhythm that may align with summer activities and festivals.
