Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 5,091, the 18 crimes recorded in Bramley and Wonersh during June 2023 equate to one reported incident for every 283 residents. This volume, while low, is 58.8% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, underscoring the area’s consistently safer profile compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of crimes (44.4%), followed by drugs-related incidents (16.7%) and vehicle crime (16.7%). The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and early summer tourism, may have influenced these patterns. The dominance of violent crime in the breakdown is notable, particularly given that the UK average for this category is 2.9 per 1,000, with Bramley and Wonersh’s rate of 1.6 per 1,000 being 45% below. This suggests the area’s built-up character within Waverley may contribute to lower levels of violent crime, due to community cohesion or effective local policing. However, the sharp rise in drugs-related crimes, which are 186% above the UK average, indicates a potential localised issue that warrants attention. Vehicle crime, though lower than the national average, also saw a 200% increase from the previous month, pointing to a specific trend that may be linked to seasonal travel or changes in local traffic patterns. These findings paint a nuanced picture of crime in Bramley and Wonersh, where overall safety remains strong but certain categories show unexpected fluctuations that merit further analysis.

June 2023 saw significant shifts in crime trends for Bramley and Wonersh. Vehicle crime surged by 200%, jumping from one incident to three, a change that may partly explain by increased traffic or seasonal travel patterns. Similarly, drugs-related crimes doubled from zero to three, a sharp increase that contrasts with the area’s overall low crime profile. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 80%, dropping from five to one, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-fueled incidents during the early summer months. Violent crimes, though remaining the most common category at 8 incidents, were 45% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 186% above average for drugs-related offences. This disparity highlights the area’s unique crime profile, where violent crime remains relatively low but drug-related activity shows unexpected spikes. For residents, the 200% increase in vehicle crime may be a practical concern, as it directly impacts daily commuting and parking habits in the built-up area.

Bramley and Wonersh recorded 18 total crimes in June 2023, translating to one reported crime for every 283 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure, while low, provides context for residents considering their personal risk. The daily crime count stood at roughly one per day, a figure that, when viewed in isolation, may seem minimal but reflects the area’s generally low crime profile. Comparing this to the previous month, the crime rate fell by 9.9% to 3.5 per 1,000 residents from 3.9 per 1,000 in May 2023. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as June marks the start of summer when increased daylight hours and tourism activity may disperse crowds and deter certain types of crime. However, the population-scaled perspective remains critical: with 5,091 residents, even a small number of crimes can have visible impacts in a closely knit community. The area’s built-up character within Waverley likely contributes to its lower crime rate compared to more sprawling or economically disadvantaged regions, though this remains a general observation without specific local data to confirm.
