Brockworth Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brockworth's overall crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents in September 2025 places it 33.8% below the UK average of 7.4, highlighting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. This built-up area within Tewkesbury appears to benefit from a combination of community cohesion and relatively low population density, which may partly explain its position below the UK average. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences (37.5% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (29.2%) and criminal damage and arson (8.3%). These figures contrast with the UK average for violent crime, where Brockworth's rate of 1.9 per 1,000 is 26% lower than the national figure of 2.6. The seasonal context of September—when schools and universities resume, and daylight hours shorten—may contribute to the prevalence of anti-social behaviour and violence, as social interactions shift toward evenings and public spaces. Property crimes accounted for only 21% of total incidents, significantly lower than the UK average of 38%, suggesting a focus on personal safety over theft in this area. The relatively low rates of burglary (2.8% of total crimes) and other theft (5.6%) align with the area's character as a mixed-use community with limited commercial zones. While the crime picture is broadly stable, the seasonal transition may warrant continued attention to public order and youth-related incidents.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in Brockworth's crime mix, with drugs-related offences surging by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and criminal damage and arson doubling (from 2 to 6). These increases may reflect the return of students and the associated social dynamics during the freshers' period. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent issue, contributing 29.2% of all reported crimes, and its rate of 1.4 per 1,000 is 20% above the UK average of 1.2. Conversely, other crime incidents fell by 33.3% (from 3 to 2), and other theft cases also decreased by the same margin (from 6 to 4). This reduction in certain categories may indicate effective local policing or community initiatives, though no specific programmes are referenced in the data. The rate of violence and sexual offences—1.9 per 1,000—remains 26% below the UK average, suggesting that while this category is the most common in Brockworth, its impact is mitigated compared to national trends. Residents might find the 33.8% gap between Brockworth's rate and the UK average particularly relevant, as it underscores the area's relative safety despite the seasonal spikes in certain offences.

Brockworth's crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 in September 2025 represents a 20.0% increase from the previous month's rate of 4.1, though it remains significantly below the UK average. Over the course of the month, this equates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day, a figure that may seem low to those unfamiliar with local statistics. When scaled to the area's population of 14,628 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 203 residents, a ratio that suggests a relatively low risk of personal involvement in criminal incidents. This figure is particularly meaningful for local residents, as it contextualises the 72 total crimes within the community's size. The previous month's rate was 4.1, indicating a recent upward trend, but the overall position remains well below the UK average. The daily crime context—2 incidents per day—provides a tangible measure of local activity, though this is a localised figure without direct national comparison. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Brockworth's crime profile, while showing month-on-month fluctuations, continues to diverge from the UK norm, with most categories significantly below national averages.
