Silsden Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Silsden’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 6.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 24.7% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This performance places Silsden among the safer built-up areas in the UK, a trend consistent with its low overall crime profile. The most frequent crimes were violence and sexual offences (38.9% of total incidents), followed by other theft (14.8%) and criminal damage and arson (9.3%). This mix contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically account for a larger share. The seasonal context of June—a period of extended daylight and the beginning of summer tourism—may have influenced patterns, particularly in shoplifting, which fell 84% below the UK average. This could be attributed to increased retail activity and foot traffic deterring theft. Violence and sexual offences, while still prevalent, were 16% below the UK average, reflecting local policing efforts or demographic factors. The equal distribution between property and violent crimes (21 each) highlights a unique balance, diverging from the UK’s usual property-crime dominance. This data suggests that Silsden’s crime profile is shaped by its built-up urban character, with local initiatives and seasonal rhythms likely playing a role in sustaining lower rates.

June 2025 saw notable decreases in shoplifting, burglary, and criminal damage and arson, each halving from May’s figures. These reductions may reflect seasonal shifts, such as increased foot traffic during summer or heightened community awareness. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences both surged by 150%, rising from 2 to 5 incidents each. This sharp increase could be linked to the onset of summer, when public spaces become busier, straining local resources. Theft from the person also doubled, though it remains far below the UK average. The balance between property and violent crimes was equal, with 21 incidents each, diverging from the UK profile where property crimes typically dominate. Violence and sexual offences in Silsden were 16% below the UK average, suggesting a localised trend toward lower violent crime despite the rise in public order issues.

Silsden’s crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 6.1 per 1,000 residents, a -1.8% decrease from the previous month’s 6.3 per 1,000. This continuity suggests no major spikes or dips in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, Silsden recorded roughly 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that, while localised, provides residents with a tangible sense of the pace of incidents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 163 residents. This rate is lower than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a broader trend of relative safety in Silsden compared to the national context. The population of 8,794 further contextualises these figures, showing that while crime remains a concern, it is proportionally less frequent than in many other areas. This stability may be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, which could influence both crime patterns and community vigilance.
