Bramley and Wonersh Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Bramley and Wonersh in October 2025 reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 62.5% of all reported incidents. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where violent and sexual offences occur at a rate 62% higher than in this built-up area. The overall crime rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents places Bramley and Wonersh 79.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a gap that underscores the area's relative safety. The breakdown of crimes shows a focus on violence and sexual offences, with five incidents reported, followed by criminal damage, public order, and anti-social behaviour, each contributing 12.5% to the total. This distribution suggests a community where interpersonal conflicts and minor disturbances are more prevalent than property-related crimes. Seasonal factors likely play a role in shaping these patterns: the end of the working day, darker evenings, and the proximity of Halloween may have contributed to increased visibility of violent incidents. The low level of property crime—only one incident in total—further aligns with the characteristics of a smaller, built-up area within Waverley, where residential density and community cohesion may mitigate opportunities for theft or burglary. This mix of crime types, though low in volume, highlights the importance of addressing interpersonal tensions and public order issues, which could be influenced by local social dynamics or the area's role as a commuter hub. The data also indicates that while violent crime remains a concern, its scale is far below national levels, reflecting either effective community policing or demographic factors such as a higher proportion of older residents or families with children, who may be less prone to violent incidents.

October saw a 25% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 4 to 5 incidents, a shift that contrasts with the overall decline in crime rates. Public order offences also surged by 100%, with one incident reported—a stark deviation from the previous month's zero occurrences. These changes highlight a growing emphasis on violent crime as a proportion of total incidents, with violent offences now accounting for 62.5% of all reported crimes. This mix of crime types differs sharply from the UK average, where violence and sexual offences occur at a rate 62% higher than in Bramley and Wonersh. The decrease in criminal damage and arson by two-thirds (from 3 to 1) suggests a potential seasonal influence, possibly linked to the transition into darker evenings and reduced outdoor activity. For residents, the 62.5% share of violent crimes offers a clear insight into the nature of local risk, even as overall rates remain exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks.

Bramley and Wonersh's crime rate in October 2025 fell to 1.6 per 1,000 residents, a 27.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, though the pace of reduction slowed compared to earlier in the year. Daily crime context reveals that, on average, less than one crime occurred each day in October, a figure that underscores the relatively low baseline of criminal activity in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 636 residents, a statistic that translates to a monthly exposure rate significantly lower than the UK average. Given the area's population of 5,091, this figure illustrates the limited frequency of incidents experienced by residents, even when accounting for seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that the likelihood of encountering crime here remains markedly lower than in larger urban centres, where density and anonymity often correlate with higher rates of reported incidents.
