Bagshot Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a resident of Bagshot, the crime rate of 9.3 per 1,000 in June 2025 translates to a 1-in-108 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. This figure places the area 14.8% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a margin that underscores the need for vigilance in a built-up area where daily life intersects with public spaces. The most common crimes reported this month were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 35.1% of all incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson (17.5%) and anti-social behaviour (14.0%). These patterns may partly reflect the seasonal context of June, the start of summer, when increased foot traffic in local amenities and events could contribute to higher incidents of both personal and property crimes. While the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, Bagshot’s rate of 3.3 per 1,000 is 15% above, suggesting a concentration of such crimes in areas with higher social interaction or nightlife activity. The data also highlights a stark contrast in property crime trends: criminal damage and arson in Bagshot is 176% above the UK average, a figure that could be linked to the presence of older housing stock or specific community dynamics that may amplify such incidents. Conversely, shoplifting is 52% below the UK average, indicating effective retail security measures or a lower density of high-traffic commercial areas. As the summer season progresses, these patterns may evolve further, influenced by the rhythms of tourism, local events, and the extended daylight hours that define June in this region of Surrey.

June 2025 saw significant shifts in crime trends compared to May, with notable increases in other theft (+100%), criminal damage and arson (+100%), and theft from the person (+100%). These spikes may reflect heightened activity during the early summer months, when local festivals, outdoor events, or increased visitor numbers could create opportunities for opportunistic crimes. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 89.5%, and anti-social behaviour decreased by 52.9%, indicating the success of local initiatives such as increased policing during peak hours or the implementation of community-based crime prevention strategies. The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark divergence from the UK average: criminal damage and arson in Bagshot is 176% above the national rate, while shoplifting is 52% below. This contrast may be attributed to the built-up nature of the area, where property damage is more concentrated in residential or commercial zones compared to more dispersed rural regions. Additionally, the rate of violence and sexual offences in Bagshot (3.3 per 1,000) is 15% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be tied to the social fabric of the area, including the presence of local amenities that attract diverse populations during the summer. For residents, these figures provide a clear snapshot of where to focus attention: while property crimes like vehicle theft have decreased, the persistence of high rates in violence and criminal damage suggests that targeted efforts in community engagement or environmental design may be necessary to address these specific challenges.

Bagshot’s crime rate in June 2025 (9.3 per 1,000) marks a 29.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 13.2 per 1,000, a decline that may reflect the seasonal transition into summer, when outdoor activities and local events could temporarily displace certain types of crime to other areas. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day in June, a figure that, while seemingly low, still represents a consistent presence of criminal activity in a built-up area with a population of 6,159. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 108 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while lower than some urban centres, still places Bagshot above the UK average for overall crime. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area’s crime profile is shaped by a combination of factors: the high rate of violence and sexual offences, which are 15% above the UK average, contrasts sharply with the significantly lower rates of shoplifting and vehicle crime, which are 52% and 19% below national figures, respectively. This divergence suggests that Bagshot’s crime dynamics are influenced by its specific character as a built-up area within Surrey Heath, where the density of residents and local amenities may amplify certain types of crime while mitigating others. The comparison to the UK average also highlights the need for tailored approaches to crime prevention that account for these local patterns, ensuring that resources are directed toward the most pressing issues without overlooking the broader context of the area’s demographics and geography.
