Broseley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broseley's November 2025 crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents—45.2% below the UK average—reflects a continuing trend of lower-than-national-level criminal activity. This rate, which includes 9 violent crimes and 9 property crimes, positions the area as significantly safer than the broader UK context, where the average stands at 7.3 per 1,000. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences (37.5% of total), followed by other theft (20.8%) and criminal damage and arson (12.5%). These figures align with Broseley's character as a small built-up area within Shropshire, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to lower rates of violent crime. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings typically correlate with increased public order incidents, yet Broseley's data shows public order offences were 36% below the UK average, suggesting effective local management of such events. The absence of a major spike in property crime during the month contrasts with the usual seasonal patterns observed in retail hubs, potentially indicating the influence of Broseley's smaller scale and lower foot traffic compared to larger urban centres. This context, combined with the sustained drop in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, illustrates a community where crime prevention efforts and environmental factors may be playing a significant role in maintaining low rates.

November 2025 saw a marked reduction in anti-social behaviour, with incidents dropping by 71.4% from seven to two. This decline, combined with a 50% decrease in vehicle crime, suggests that efforts to address public order may have yielded tangible results. While other theft rose sharply by 150% (from two to five incidents), this category remains below the UK average by 57%, indicating that Broseley's overall crime picture is still more favourable than national trends. The increase in other theft may be linked to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping, though the absence of a corresponding rise in property crime suggests targeted interventions may have curbed broader theft patterns. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 37.5% of all crimes—remain 42% below the UK average, a consistent trend that highlights the area's lower incidence of violent crime despite the usual challenges posed by dark evenings and Bonfire Night events.

Broseley's November 2025 crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 27.4% decline from the previous month's 5.5 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of reduced criminal activity. This rate translates to roughly one reported crime per day across the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the area's relative safety compared to national benchmarks. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for approximately every 249 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the low frequency of incidents in a community of 5,983 people. When contextualised within Broseley's population, this suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime is significantly lower than the UK average, which stands at 7.3 per 1,000. The contrast is particularly stark in categories such as anti-social behaviour, where a 71.4% drop from seven to two incidents demonstrates the effectiveness of local measures or seasonal factors in mitigating disturbances. This population-scaled perspective reinforces the notion that Broseley's crime profile is markedly distinct from the broader UK context, where higher rates of property crime and violence are more commonly reported.
