Brockworth Crime Rate March 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth's crime rate in March 2024 was 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure 48.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked improvement in safety underscores the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 42.4% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 30.5%. The seasonal shift to spring may have influenced these patterns, as longer evenings and changing weather conditions could impact both criminal opportunities and community vigilance. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Brockworth was 36% below the UK average, a disparity that may be attributed to the area's character as a built-up part of Tewkesbury, where community cohesion and local policing efforts likely contribute to lower rates of severe violence. Anti-social behaviour, though still present, was only marginally above the UK average, suggesting that while minor disturbances occur, they are not prevalent. The overall crime profile appears consistent with a semi-rural built-up area where property crimes are infrequent—burglary, for instance, was 38% below the UK average—reflecting lower population density and fewer high-value targets. This data aligns with the broader trend of lower crime rates in areas with strong community ties and limited urban density, reinforcing the notion that Brockworth's environment may naturally discourage certain types of criminal activity.

March 2024 saw notable decreases in several crime categories, with public order offences falling by 83.3% (from 6 to 1) and other theft decreasing by 66.7% (from 6 to 2). These reductions may reflect seasonal factors, such as the transition to spring, which often correlates with lower incidents of disorderly conduct. Conversely, burglary increased by 200% (from 1 to 3), a sharp rise that warrants further local analysis. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 42.4% of total crimes, and were 36% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, while still a concern, was only 3% above the national average. For residents, the daily crime rate of 2 incidents provides a clear, actionable benchmark for community safety awareness.

Brockworth's crime rate in March 2024 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 15.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported across the 31 days of March, a figure that offers residents a tangible sense of the local crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 248 residents, illustrating the relatively low level of criminal activity in this built-up area. When contextualised against the population of 14,628, the monthly exposure translates to a manageable frequency, suggesting that the area remains comparatively safer than many parts of the UK. The shift in crime patterns may reflect seasonal factors, such as the transition to spring and the elongation of evenings, which could influence both criminal activity and community engagement in local policing efforts.
