Patchway Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Patchway reported 256 crimes, translating to a crime rate of 12.0 per 1,000 residents—48.1% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure underscores a significant deviation from national trends, particularly in categories such as violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 32.8% of all crimes, and shoplifting, responsible for 20.7%. The area's crime profile reflects a combination of factors, including the start of summer, which often sees increased foot traffic and tourism. However, the absence of a major tourist hub in Patchway suggests that local dynamics, such as the concentration of retail outlets, may contribute to elevated shoplifting rates. Violence and sexual offences, which are 40% above the UK average, may be influenced by the area's built-up nature and the presence of public spaces that could foster such incidents. The seasonal context of June, with its extended daylight hours, may also impact crime patterns, increasing opportunities for property-related crimes while reducing visibility for certain types of offences. These trends necessitate a nuanced understanding of the area's characteristics to develop targeted interventions.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Robbery incidents surged by 200%, rising from 1 to 3, a stark increase that may reflect heightened vulnerability in certain areas. Similarly, vehicle crime and other crime both doubled compared to the previous month, indicating potential shifts in criminal activity patterns. Conversely, shoplifting decreased by 24.3%, with 53 incidents reported compared to 70 in May, possibly linked to seasonal changes or targeted policing efforts. Other theft also declined by 36.4%, from 33 to 21, suggesting a temporary reduction in property-related crimes. These changes highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Patchway, with some categories showing marked improvement while others require closer attention. Residents may find the 200% increase in robbery particularly concerning, as it represents a significant risk to personal safety.

Patchway's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 11.9 per 1,000, a 0.8% increase from the previous month, indicating minimal fluctuation. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 9 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 83 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime in a population of 21,282. This monthly aggregate provides a broader perspective, showing that while individual incidents may seem isolated, the cumulative effect is notable. The population-scaled perspective reveals that crime is distributed across the community, though certain categories, such as shoplifting, are high compared to UK averages. This data underscores the need for ongoing awareness and community engagement strategies to address specific crime trends.
