Brockworth Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Brockworth's crime profile in December 2025, making up 61.1% of the 54 total crimes recorded. This category alone accounts for 33 incidents, with a rate of 2.3 per 1,000 residents — 11% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The area's overall crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents is 47.1% below the national average of 7.0 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime environment compared to the UK. Anti-social behaviour (14.8% of crimes) and other crime (7.4%) follow as the next most common categories, though both remain well below UK averages. December's seasonal context — with extended evenings, holiday gatherings, and retail activity — likely contributes to the prominence of violence and sexual offences. The area’s low property crime rate (7 incidents, or 1.3% of total crimes) contrasts sharply with the UK’s higher rates for theft and burglary. While the month’s festive season may increase social interactions, the absence of significant property crime suggests effective local policing or community engagement in securing homes and businesses during the holidays. This pattern aligns with Brockworth’s character as a built-up area within Tewkesbury, where community cohesion and targeted interventions may mitigate risks typically associated with seasonal events.

December 2025 saw a 13.8% increase in violence and sexual offences (from 29 to 33 incidents), a notable shift in the crime mix toward violent crime. Other crime also rose sharply by 100%, with four incidents reported — a category that includes fraud and cybercrime, which may have been underreported in prior months. Conversely, other theft fell by 71.4% (from 7 to 2 incidents), burglary dropped 66.7% (from 3 to 1), and public order offences decreased by 66.7% (from 6 to 2). These declines in property-related crimes suggest either improved security measures or a seasonal reduction in opportunistic theft. Violence and sexual offences remain significantly below the UK average (2.3 vs 2.6 per 1,000), while other crime (0.3 per 1,000) is 87% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. For residents, the 66.7% drop in burglary — from three to one incident — highlights a tangible improvement in home security, possibly linked to increased awareness during the holiday season. The rise in other crime, however, underscores the need for continued vigilance against non-traditional threats such as scams or online fraud.

Brockworth’s crime rate in December 2025 (3.7 per 1,000) marks a 25.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.9 per 1,000, indicating a downward trend in overall crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day over the 31-day period — a figure that, while low, reflects the persistent presence of violent and anti-social offences. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 271 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to the UK average. This statistic, scaled to Brockworth’s population of 14,628, illustrates that the vast majority of residents experience no crime during any given month. The shift from property to violent crime as the dominant category further distinguishes Brockworth from the UK profile, where property crime typically constitutes a larger share. This contrast may be attributed to the area’s built-up character within Tewkesbury, where community policing and social infrastructure may reduce opportunities for theft while leaving social tensions or alcohol-related incidents as more pressing concerns. The 25% monthly decline, combined with the area’s consistently low crime rate, reinforces Brockworth’s status as a relatively safe environment, even as specific categories like violence and sexual offences remain elevated.
