Filton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Filton's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 6.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 23.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This performance highlights a consistently safer environment compared to the national picture, though local variations in crime types reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 35.7% of all reported incidents. This category, while still the most common, was 23% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of effective policing and community engagement in addressing violent crime. The second most frequent category was criminal damage and arson, which saw a 21% increase above the UK average. This may be linked to the area's built-up character, where property maintenance and public space management could influence such incidents. Anti-social behaviour. from May, remains a persistent concern, with its 58% below the UK average indicating successful interventions. The seasonal context of June—marking the beginning of summer—likely influenced crime dynamics, with increased outdoor activity affecting public order offences and anti-social behaviour. However, the significant rise in burglary cases, which exceeded the UK average by 79%, raises questions about local security measures and property vulnerability during the warmer months. These findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to address rising burglary rates while maintaining the positive trends observed in violent and anti-social crime categories.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 6 incidents. This spike contrasts sharply with a 66.7% decline in anti-social behaviour, which dropped from 21 to 7 cases. The reduction in anti-social behaviour may reflect the start of summer, when community activities shift outdoors and local policing strategies adapt. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, a trend consistent with improved security measures in residential areas. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 35.7% of all crimes, though they still sat 23% below the UK average. The burglary increase, however, was the most significant deviation from the national trend, with Filton's rate of 0.5 per 1,000 residents exceeding the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 by 79%. This anomaly may warrant closer examination of local property security practices or seasonal vulnerabilities in the built-up area.

Filton's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 6.2 per 1,000 residents, a 31.4% decrease from the previous month's 9.0 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the start of summer often sees shifts in community activity and policing focus. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, 1 crime occurred for roughly every 162 residents, a ratio that places Filton well below the UK average in terms of monthly exposure. When scaled to the area's population of 11,314, this suggests that the local environment, possibly influenced by its suburban character and proximity to major transport hubs, has seen a marked reduction in crime compared to the previous month. The drop in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime may reflect heightened community engagement or improved street lighting initiatives, though no specific programmes are documented in the data.
