Camberley Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 152 residents in Camberley, one crime was reported during June 2023, a figure that illustrates the area's relatively low risk profile compared to national averages. The built-up area's overall crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents — 22.4% below the UK average — reflects a combination of local characteristics and seasonal dynamics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.2% of all crimes (84 cases), the highest proportion of any category, consistent with Camberley's position as a suburban area with a mix of residential and commercial spaces. Shoplifting. of total crimes (36 cases), stood out as 85% above the UK average, suggesting a potential link to local retail environments or transient populations. Anti-social behaviour, the third most common crime type (30 cases, 12.6% share), was 46% below the UK average, possibly indicating effective community policing or a lower incidence of disruptive activity in public spaces. The start of summer may have influenced crime patterns, with longer daylight hours and warmer weather altering both victim behaviour and offender activity. However, the overall picture remains one of controlled crime rates, with Camberley's built-up area continuing to demonstrate resilience against national trends.

June 2023 saw sharp increases in burglary and bicycle theft, with the former rising 166.7% (from 3 to 8 incidents) and the latter surging 150% (from 2 to 5). These spikes may reflect increased outdoor activity during summer, though no definitive causal link can be drawn. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 38.8% (from 49 to 30 incidents), possibly due to seasonal shifts in community engagement. Shoplifting, the second most common crime, occurred at 1.0 per 1,000 residents — 85% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This anomaly contrasts with Camberley's generally lower crime profile, suggesting a localized factor such as retail patterns in the area. The 35.2% share of violence and sexual offences (84 cases) highlights the need for continued focus on community safety initiatives.

Camberley's crime rate in June 2023 rose slightly to 6.6 per 1,000 residents, a 2.2% increase from the previous month's 6.4. This translates to roughly 8 crimes reported each day in the built-up area, a figure that remains lower than the UK average. Over the course of June, one crime occurred for every 152 residents, placing Camberley among the safer areas in England. The population-scaled perspective shows that while the rate has edged upward, the absolute number of crimes remains manageable for a community of 36,429 people. The slight increase may be attributed to seasonal shifts, such as the start of summer encouraging more outdoor activity and potentially altering patterns of public interaction. However, the overall crime picture remains consistent with Camberley's historically lower crime profile compared to national benchmarks.
