Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Bramley and Wonersh recorded 16 crimes, a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents—62.2% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure translates to a total of 16 crimes for a population of 5,091, equating to a crime rate that is significantly lower than the national benchmark. The most common crimes were burglary (5 incidents, 31.3% of total), followed by violence and sexual offences (4 incidents, 25.0%) and anti-social behaviour (3 incidents, 18.8%). These figures reflect a crime profile skewed towards property-related incidents, with burglary being the most prominent category. The area’s low overall rate is consistent with its character as a built-up area within Waverley, likely influenced by its relatively small population and possibly lower levels of commercial or industrial activity compared to larger urban centres. Seasonal factors in June, such as the start of summer and increased outdoor activity, may have contributed to the rise in burglary, as open spaces and longer daylight hours could create opportunities for property crimes. The significant drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 63.6% compared to the previous month, may indicate a seasonal reduction in alcohol-fuelled incidents or a shift in criminal activity patterns. These trends suggest that local conditions, including community engagement and environmental factors, may play a role in shaping the area’s crime profile.

June 2024 marked a significant shift in crime patterns for Bramley and Wonersh, with burglary surging by 150% compared to May, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This increase, though notable, remains 233% above the UK average for burglary (0.3 per 1,000), highlighting the area’s vulnerability to property crime despite its overall low rate. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell sharply by 63.6%, from 11 to 4, a decline that positions the area 71% below the UK average for this category. This contrast suggests a possible reallocation of criminal activity from violent to property crimes, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of summer, when outdoor spaces are more frequently used. Other theft also saw a 100% increase, from zero to one incident, though this remains below the UK average. These shifts illustrate the dynamic nature of local crime trends and the importance of monitoring specific categories for targeted interventions.

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a 38.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline suggests a continued trend of lower crime levels compared to recent months. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day in June, a figure that translates to a manageable frequency for a community of 5,091 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 318 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. When scaled to the population, this rate is lower than the UK average, reflecting a safer environment relative to the national picture. The population context further highlights that even with the 16 crimes recorded, the area remains statistically secure, with each resident facing a minimal risk of victimisation. This contrast with the UK average underscores the effectiveness of local crime prevention measures or the area’s demographic and geographic characteristics, which may contribute to its lower crime profile.
