Broseley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broseley's September 2025 crime profile reveals a striking dominance of violent offences over property crimes, a pattern that challenges assumptions about typical built-up area dynamics. With 14 violent crimes reported—accounting for 53.9% of all incidents—this represents a marked departure from the UK average where violent crimes constitute 2.6 per 1,000 residents (11% below Broseley's 2.3 per 1,000). The area's overall crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents, 40.5% below the UK average, suggests a combination of geographical and social factors that have historically contributed to lower crime levels. Broseley's rural-adjacent character, with its mix of historic buildings and limited urban density, may explain the relatively low prevalence of property crimes (30.8% of total incidents) compared to the UK's typical 40-50% share. Seasonal context in September—marked by the start of the academic year and reduced summer activity—may have exacerbated tensions in local social spaces, contributing to the sharp rise in violence and sexual offences. The area's criminal damage and arson rate (0.7 per 1,000) is 32% above the UK average, linked to the preservation challenges faced by historic structures. Broseley's anti-social behaviour rate (0.3 per 1,000), 74% below the UK average, further illustrates how local characteristics can shape crime profiles in ways distinct from national trends.

September 2025 saw a stark shift in Broseley's crime profile, with violent crimes surging by 133.3% to 14 incidents—compared to 6 in August—while property crimes remained stable at 8. This imbalance, with violent offences accounting for 53.9% of all reported crimes, contrasts sharply with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences (11% below Broseley's 2.3 per 1,000). The rise in violent crime may partly explain the 100% increase in possession of weapons cases, though the single incident reported remains an outlier. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 75% to 1 from 4 in August, a decrease that could reflect the start of the academic year and reduced late-night activity. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 50%, suggesting seasonal factors such as the transition from summer to autumn may have influenced community dynamics. Broseley's criminal damage and arson rate of 0.7 per 1,000 (32% above the UK average) highlights localized vulnerabilities, linked to the area's historic buildings and rural-adjacent infrastructure.

Broseley's September 2025 crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents marks an 18.7% decrease from August's 5.4 per 1,000, reflecting a downward trend in overall criminal activity. This decline aligns with the area's historically lower crime profile compared to the UK average, which stood at 7.4 per 1,000 for the same period. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported incident per day in Broseley, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 230 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Broseley among the safer built-up areas in England. When scaled to the local population of 5,983, this equates to a manageable level of risk for residents, though fluctuations in specific crime categories—such as the doubling of weapon possession cases—suggest localized factors may influence patterns. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Broseley's crime rate, while not zero, remains significantly below national benchmarks, a trend consistent with its rural-adjacent character and low population density.
