Bingley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingley's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 8.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure reflects a mix of crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 38.5% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.6%) and public order offences (13.0%). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences, while remaining a significant category, are aligned with the UK average at 2.9 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, however, is lower than the UK average, suggesting possible community-driven efforts to mitigate such incidents. Public order offences, in contrast, are 69% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be linked to local events or policing priorities. The area's built-up nature within Bradford may contribute to higher public order issues. The seasonal transition from spring to summer typically sees a shift in crime types, with outdoor activities increasing and associated risks. However, the unexpected rise in drug-related crimes—doubling from 2 to 4 incidents—stands out as a significant deviation from previous trends. This spike, coupled with the consistent lower-than-average rate for anti-social behaviour, highlights the combination of factors influencing Bingley's crime profile. The data underscores the need for tailored strategies to address emerging issues while maintaining progress in areas where local efforts have already proven effective.

June 2025 saw a stark rise in drug-related crimes, doubling from 2 to 4 incidents—a 100% increase. This surge contrasts sharply with the 37% decrease in shoplifting, which dropped from 2 to 1 case. The most significant shift in the crime mix was the 69% increase in public order offences compared to the UK average, a category that includes disturbances in public spaces and anti-social behaviour. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour itself fell 15% below the UK average, suggesting localized efforts may be addressing some underlying issues. For residents, the 100% increase in drug-related crimes is a critical data point, as it signals a potential need for targeted interventions. The drop in bicycle theft by 50%—from 2 to 1 case—may reflect improved security measures or seasonal changes affecting outdoor activity.

Bingley's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 8.2% compared to May, dropping from 8.1 to 7.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area's historical seasonal patterns, where warmer weather and extended daylight hours often correlate with reduced outdoor crime. Locally, 6 crimes were reported per day on average, a figure that translates to roughly one crime for every 135 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, though direct comparisons are not available due to differing population sizes. The population-scaled perspective shows that Bingley's crime rate remains 8.6% below the UK average, a consistent trend over recent months. This suggests that local factors—such as community engagement initiatives or policing strategies—may contribute to the sustained lower rate, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
