Brockworth Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth's crime profile in February 2025 reveals a striking contrast between its overall safety and specific crime trends. The area's crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents places it 14.9% below the UK average of 6.7, a figure that underscores its relative security compared to national benchmarks. However, the breakdown of crime types tells a different story: violence and sexual offences accounted for 50% of all reported incidents, with a rate of 2.9 per 1,000 residents—23% above the UK average for this category. This anomaly may be attributed to the built-up nature of Brockworth, where higher population density and social interactions could contribute to elevated levels of interpersonal crime. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, fell to 0.8 per 1,000 residents, 18% below the UK average, reflecting effective local interventions or seasonal trends. The winter month of February, characterized by low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, likely influenced patterns of crime, with property-related offences remaining low compared to the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime remains a concern, the area's overall crime environment is shaped by a combination of geographic and seasonal factors that differentiate it from broader national trends.

February 2025 saw three notable increases in crime categories: possession of weapons, shoplifting, and 'other crime,' all rising by 100% from the previous month. These jumps, though starting from low base numbers, highlight potential emerging trends or localized incidents requiring attention. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 40% (from 20 to 12 cases), and public order offences dropped by 33% (from 9 to 6 cases), possibly linked to seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity during winter. Violent crimes, which accounted for 50% of all reported incidents, stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents—23% above the UK average of 2.4 per 1,000. This discrepancy may reflect local demographics or environmental factors, such as the built-up nature of Brockworth, which could influence interpersonal crime rates differently than more dispersed areas.

Brockworth's crime rate in February 2025 remained stable at 5.7 per 1,000 residents, matching the rate recorded in January 2025. This consistency suggests no significant shifts in overall crime patterns during the transition from winter to early spring. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 3 incidents per day over 28 days, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 174 residents. This ratio provides a tangible sense of risk for residents, placing the area's safety profile in context with its population of 14,628. While the UK average crime rate is 6.7 per 1,000, Brockworth's rate is 14.9% below this benchmark, a difference that may reflect local factors such as community policing efforts or the area's built-up character, which could influence crime dynamics differently than more rural or densely populated regions.
