Trowbridge Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 46,007 residents, Trowbridge recorded 424 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 people. This figure places the area 13.6% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (34.9% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (24.1%) and criminal damage and arson (9.7%). These patterns align with seasonal trends typical of midsummer, when extended daylight hours and increased social activity may contribute to higher incidents of public disorder and personal violence. The area’s crime profile reflects the characteristics of a mid-sized built-up area within Wiltshire, where local amenities and community dynamics shape crime patterns. While violent crime remains a significant concern, property-related offences such as shoplifting and burglary are comparatively lower than the UK average, suggesting that local factors—such as community engagement or policing strategies—may be mitigating these risks. The summer months often see fluctuations in crime types, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences rising in tandem with warmer weather and increased outdoor activity. However, whether these trends are directly linked to seasonal changes or broader socioeconomic factors.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with robbery incidents surging by 200% (from 1 to 3) compared to May. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may signal emerging patterns in local criminal activity. Possession of weapons also rose by 100%, and theft from the person increased by 100%, both from zero to three incidents. These changes contrast with significant declines in vehicle crime (down 85.7%) and other theft (down 42.9%), which could reflect seasonal shifts in criminal opportunity—such as reduced car-related theft during warmer weather or changes in retail activity. Violence and sexual offences in Trowbridge remain 12% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 55% above the national rate. This disparity highlights areas where local conditions may diverge from broader trends, influenced by the built-up area’s specific demographics or land use. For residents, the rise in robbery incidents underscores the importance of vigilance in public spaces, particularly during evening hours when such crimes are more likely to occur.

Trowbridge’s crime rate in June 2025 remained stable compared to May, with no significant month-on-month change (9.2 per 1,000). On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 14 crimes per day, a figure that, while locally relevant, does not directly compare to national averages due to the absence of a UK-wide daily crime benchmark. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 109 residents, illustrating the frequency of incidents in relation to the population. This monthly exposure rate is a useful metric for residents to contextualise risk, though it should not be interpreted as a daily probability. With a population of 46,007, the 424 total crimes recorded in June represent a rate that is 13.6% higher than the UK average, yet the area’s crime mix shows divergence in specific categories. For instance, vehicle crime is 73% below the UK average, possibly reflecting lower traffic density or effective local policing in this sector. These comparative figures underscore the importance of tailoring crime prevention strategies to Trowbridge’s unique characteristics, rather than applying generic national solutions.
