Brockworth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth's July 2025 crime rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents marks a 34.9% deficit compared to the UK average, reflecting a generally safer profile for this built-up area within Tewkesbury. The most surprising finding was the doubling of bicycle theft, which rose from one incident to two—a 100% increase that contrasts with the overall stability in crime rates. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 36.6% of all crimes, but fell 25% from the previous month's total of 40. Anti-social behaviour, at 32.9% of incidents, was the second-largest category.9 per 1,000 residents was 23% above the UK average. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and festival activity—likely contributed to fluctuations, though the absence of a significant rise in public order offences (down 22% from the UK average) suggests effective local management of events. Property crimes, at 16 total, were lower than the 30 violent crimes recorded, aligning with the area's character as a low-density built-up space with fewer commercial hubs than major urban centres. The 74% reduction in vehicle crime compared to the UK average may partly explain by the area's lower commuter traffic and limited parking infrastructure, which could deter vehicle-related offences. However, the unexpected surge in bicycle theft raises questions about whether temporary events or increased cycling during festivals created new vulnerabilities. As a largely rural-adjacent built-up area, Brockworth's crime profile reflects a combination of local demographics and seasonal rhythms, with the most striking anomaly being the sharp rise in bicycle theft despite the overall low crime rate.

July 2025 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 1 to 2 incidents. This spike contrasts with a 25% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 40 to 30. The shift in crime mix highlights a notable divergence from the UK average: violence and sexual offences in Brockworth were 31% below the UK norm, while anti-social behaviour was 23% above. Other striking figures include vehicle crime, which was 74% below the UK average, and drugs offences, down 64% from the national rate. The month-on-month change in bicycle theft—doubling from a single incident—suggests a sudden local factor, possibly linked to summer festivals or increased cycling during events. Residents may find the 74% reduction in vehicle crime particularly reassuring, though the rise in bicycle theft warrants attention.

Brockworth's crime rate remained stable at 5.6 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall crime patterns, though local factors may still influence specific categories. Daily crime activity averaged 3 incidents per day, a low frequency by UK standards, with no UK-wide daily comparison available. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 178 residents, a monthly aggregate that translates to a relatively low exposure rate for residents. When scaled to population size, this suggests Brockworth's crime profile is significantly less intense than the UK average, though anti-social behaviour remains 23% above the UK norm. The stability in the overall rate contrasts with specific category changes, such as the doubling of bicycle theft, which highlights the need to examine subcategory trends for deeper insights.
