Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate for August 2025 sits at 2.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 72.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's consistently low crime profile, which aligns with its character as a built-up area within Waverley — a region historically marked by stable community structures and limited exposure to large-scale urban challenges. The top crime categories for the month were anti-social behaviour (36.4% of total incidents), violence and sexual offences (27.3%), and burglary (18.2%). These patterns suggest a mix of localised issues and broader seasonal influences, with anti-social behaviour likely driven by increased foot traffic during the summer holidays. Meanwhile, the sharp decline in violence and sexual offences may reflect the temporary nature of certain incidents, such as those tied to transient populations during peak tourist periods. The UK average comparison further underscores the area's relative safety, with Bramley and Wonersh's rates for violence and sexual offences 79% below the national benchmark. Seasonal context plays a critical role in shaping these figures: August, as a peak holiday month, often brings temporary increases in anti-social behaviour and burglary risks due to empty homes and higher visitor numbers. However, the overall trend remains one of sustained safety, with the area's crime rate consistently falling well below national averages. This suggests a combination of effective local policing, community cohesion, and geographical factors that mitigate crime risks, even during periods of heightened activity.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from one incident to four — the most significant category jump in the data. This surge, though still 45% below the UK average for similar offences, may partly reflect heightened foot traffic during the summer holidays. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 50% compared to July, suggesting a temporary shift in crime dynamics. Burglary, though remaining at a low level overall, saw a 100% increase from zero to two incidents, placing the area 48% above the UK average for this category. This anomaly may be linked to August's seasonal context, as empty homes and increased tourism could temporarily elevate burglary risks. Possession of weapons also doubled, a 122% increase over the UK average, warranting closer attention from local authorities.

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate in August 2025 dropped by 8.5% from the previous month's 2.4 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a continued downward trend. This 0.2-per-1,000 decrease aligns with broader patterns observed in similar built-up areas during late summer, when seasonal tourism fluctuations often influence local crime dynamics. The daily crime count remained effectively zero, with 11 incidents spread over 31 days — a figure that translates to roughly one reported crime for every 463 residents during the month. This low monthly exposure underscores the area's relatively safe environment compared to national benchmarks. While the population-scaled perspective shows minimal risk, the spike in anti-social behaviour and possession of weapons highlights the need for targeted community engagement, particularly as August's peak holiday season brings temporary shifts in population distribution and activity patterns.
