Bradley Stoke Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bradley Stoke's crime profile in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 48% of all reported incidents. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where such crimes account for 30% of the total. The area's crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents—49.4% below the national average—suggests a combination of community factors and local policing effectiveness. Violence and sexual offences, though high in absolute terms (49 cases), remain 30% below the UK average, indicating a lower incidence of severe crimes relative to similar areas. Anti-social behaviour follows at 22.6% of total crimes, also significantly below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This pattern may reflect Bradley Stoke's semi-urban character, where community engagement and local initiatives could contribute to lower levels of public disorder. The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the start of summer tourism, likely influences crime patterns. Increased social activity in public spaces may partly explain the higher proportion of violent crimes, while the absence of major retail hubs could account for the relatively low property crime rates compared to urban centres. The data suggests a community where violent incidents are more prevalent than theft or burglary, a trend that may warrant further analysis of local social dynamics and policing strategies.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in Bradley Stoke's crime mix, with bicycle theft and other theft rising sharply by 100% and 42.9% respectively. These increases could reflect heightened summer activity, such as more cycling for recreation or commuting, and the potential for unsecured items in public spaces. Conversely, drugs, robbery, and public order offences all declined by 66.7% or 57.1%, possibly linked to the start of summer holidays reducing opportunities for such crimes. The violent crime category, though still the largest single type, remained 30% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may indicate effective local policing or community cohesion. Anti-social behaviour, at 22.6% of total crimes, was 37% below the UK average—a figure that could be attributed to Bradley Stoke's relatively low population density and strong community engagement. The breakdown also highlights the absence of major property crime categories like vehicle crime, which were 73% below the UK average, suggesting that local infrastructure or security measures may be mitigating risks in this area. For residents, the 100% increase in bicycle theft is a concrete data point to consider when securing personal property during the summer months.

Bradley Stoke's June 2025 crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 represents a 6.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.3 per 1,000, indicating a slight but measurable decline in overall crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that aligns with its semi-urban character and population of 25,161 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 247 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average, though direct comparisons are not available for this metric. This figure underscores the relative safety of Bradley Stoke compared to other areas, even as it highlights the need for continued vigilance in addressing violent and anti-social crimes. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the 102 reported crimes in June would equate to roughly 1.6% of the population being directly affected by crime, a proportion that is significantly lower than the UK average. This suggests that Bradley Stoke's residents may benefit from a combination of effective policing, community engagement, and local infrastructure that reduces the likelihood of crime. However, the higher proportion of violent crimes compared to property crimes indicates a unique challenge for the area, which differs from the UK-wide trend where property crimes often dominate. Understanding these differences is crucial for tailoring local crime prevention strategies that address the specific needs of Bradley Stoke's community.
