Broseley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Broseley in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, shaped by the area’s character as a built-up part of rural Shropshire. With a crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents—59.3% below the UK average—the area demonstrates a marked divergence from national trends. The most prominent category, violence and sexual offences, accounted for 45% of all crimes, a figure significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000 (48% below). This suggests that local social dynamics, community engagement, or policing strategies may be mitigating violence in Broseley. Anti-social behaviour, contributing 20% of crimes, also remains well below the UK average, indicating a generally stable public order environment. However, property crimes such as robbery and burglary, though relatively low, show a 100% increase from the previous month, raising questions about seasonal patterns or specific vulnerabilities. The summer months, with longer days and the onset of tourism, may be influencing these trends, though the low overall rate suggests that Broseley’s small population and rural setting likely limit opportunities for large-scale crime. The absence of significant rises in theft from the person or vehicle crime—common in urban centres—further reinforces the idea that Broseley’s crime profile is shaped by its unique combination of rural isolation and built-up infrastructure.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in robbery, burglary, and other theft compared to May, though these categories remain below UK averages for robbery and burglary. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 45% of all crimes, decreased by 30.8% from 13 to 9 incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal factors or local initiatives. Robbery in Broseley (0.3 per 1,000) is 173% above the UK average (0.1 per 1,000), indicating a specific vulnerability in this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour (0.7 per 1,000) is 51% below the UK average (1.4 per 1,000), suggesting a lower prevalence of public order issues in this area. The sharp rise in property-related crimes, despite an overall decline in violence, hints at a possible shift in criminal focus during the summer months, linked to increased foot traffic or economic activity.

Broseley's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 3.3 per 1,000 residents, a 35.5% decrease from the previous month’s 5.2 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as safer compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, though the pace of improvement has slowed. Daily crime counts reveal a steady but low level of activity: just one crime reported per day on average, reflecting the small population of 5,983. Over the course of June, the monthly exposure statistic shows that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 299 residents, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When viewed through a population-scaled lens, the crime rate remains far below the UK average, suggesting that Broseley’s community structures, local policing, or demographic composition may be contributing factors. However, the small population size inherently limits the statistical volatility of these figures, requiring careful interpretation.
