Brockworth Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth’s crime rate in May 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 32.1% deficit compared to the UK average of 8.1. This figure, though modest, translates to a tangible sense of safety for residents, with only one reported crime for every 183 individuals over the month. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.5% of total incidents (30 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (26.3%, 21 cases) and criminal damage (10%, 8 cases). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up part of Tewkesbury, where community dynamics and local policing may contribute to lower rates of property crime. Seasonal factors, including longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, likely influence the rise in anti-social behaviour and violence, though the absence of a corresponding spike in alcohol-related incidents suggests other mitigating factors. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.8 per 1,000) is 26% higher than Brockworth’s rate, indicating a potentially safer environment for residents. However, the sharp increase in drug-related crimes—doubling from zero to three incidents—introduces a new challenge, requiring targeted attention. Overall, the data illustrates a balanced crime profile, with violent crimes remaining a concern but property crime rates subdued compared to national trends.

May 2025 saw a 100% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 0 to 3 incidents—a stark contrast to the previous month. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 23.5%, with 21 reports, likely influenced by longer evenings and increased socialising. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 80%, dropping from 5 to 1, possibly reflecting heightened local awareness or enforcement efforts. Violent crimes, though remaining the most common category (30 incidents, 37.5% of total), were 26% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000. Public order offences fell by 33.3%, aligning with the UK’s 0.6 per 1,000 average. These shifts illustrate a mixed picture: while some areas of crime are declining, others—particularly drug-related incidents—require closer scrutiny. Residents may find the sharp drop in shoplifting reassuring, suggesting targeted interventions could be effective.

Brockworth’s crime rate in May 2025 remained 7.0% lower than the previous month’s 5.9 per 1,000, continuing a downward trend that positions it well below the UK average. With 80 crimes reported over 31 days, the local daily figure averages roughly 3 crimes per day—equivalent to one occurrence for every 487 residents daily. This monthly exposure translates to a 1-in-183 chance of a resident experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month, a statistic that contextualises risk in terms of personal probability. The population scale further underscores the area’s safety: for every 1,000 residents, only 5.5 crimes were recorded, compared to 8.1 nationally. This disparity reflects broader patterns in Brockworth, where anti-social behaviour and violence remain below UK averages, suggesting a combination of community engagement and local policing strategies. The absence of significant spikes in property crime or violent incidents reinforces the area’s relative stability, though the rise in drug-related offences merits attention.
