Brockworth Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth’s crime rate in July 2023 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, 33.7% below the UK average of 8.3 per 1,000. This marked safety profile, despite the summer peak season, contrasts with typical patterns in urban areas, where crime often rises during festivals and events. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences (37 incidents, 46.3% of total), a category that remained 10% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely (15 incidents, 18.8% of total), also 30% below the national rate, suggesting a community-driven approach to managing public order. The seasonal context of July—characterised by school holidays, tourism, and festivals—might have influenced these patterns. While violent crime typically increases in summer due to more outdoor activity, Brockworth’s rate decreased by 11.9% from June, possibly due to local initiatives or heightened police presence. However, vehicle crime surged unexpectedly by 100%, a departure from the usual seasonal decline. This anomaly may be linked to temporary factors such as increased vehicle traffic during events or unseasonal weather patterns affecting parking habits. The overall profile indicates a low-crime environment, but the unexpected rise in vehicle-related incidents warrants further attention from local authorities and residents alike.

July 2023 saw a striking 100% increase in vehicle crime, with three incidents reported—up from zero in June. This surge, though small in absolute terms, contrasts with the usual seasonal trends, as summer months typically see fewer vehicle-related crimes due to reduced overnight parking. Concurrently, drugs and other crime categories both fell by 66.7%, suggesting potential shifts in local patterns or temporary factors such as targeted policing. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category (46.3% of total), decreased by 11.9% compared to June, a drop consistent with the UK average for this category, which was 10% below the national rate. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 36.4%, reflecting a 30% deficit compared to the UK average. These shifts highlight the area’s unique dynamics, possibly influenced by summer festivals or increased community engagement in public spaces.

Brockworth's crime rate in July 2023 (5.5 per 1,000 residents) remained stable compared to June (5.6 per 1,000), reflecting a 2.5% monthly decline. This consistency contrasts with the UK average, which sees higher volatility. Locally, 3 crimes were reported daily on average, a figure that, while low, aligns with the area’s small population. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 183 residents, a ratio that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents. This monthly exposure is lower than the UK average, which typically sees one crime for every 100 residents. The population-scaled perspective underscores Brockworth’s safety profile, particularly when considering its proximity to Tewkesbury’s rural landscapes, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the absence of a UK daily comparison means this figure remains a local benchmark, offering residents a concrete sense of risk relative to their community.
