Silsden Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Silsden's November 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents places the area 31.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, reinforcing its position as a relatively safe built-up area within Bradford. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 52.3% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.9%) and shoplifting (9.1%). These figures align with November's unique seasonal context, as darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night may contribute to increased interpersonal conflicts. Conversely, shoplifting's sharp rise could be attributed to the heightened retail activity during Black Friday, though the exact causal link remains speculative. The area's low rates of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) suggest that Silsden's built-up environment, with limited commercial zones or effective local policing, deters property-related offences. While the crime mix reflects a balance between violent and property crimes, the absence of significant spikes in burglary or theft from the person indicates that Silsden's crime profile remains stable compared to other UK areas. The low rates of anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime further highlight the area's unique characteristics, which may include strong community ties or targeted crime prevention efforts.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in shoplifting cases, rising from one to four incidents — a spike likely linked to Black Friday shopping activity. This surge in retail crime contrasts with a 50% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from two to one incident, possibly reflecting reduced car usage during the month or improved security measures. Anti-social behaviour remained below the UK average, with a 25% deficit, suggesting effective community engagement or local initiatives that deter such conduct. The rise in violent crimes, though not statistically significant compared to the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), may be influenced by November's darker evenings and Bonfire Night events. Residents might consider increased vigilance during late-night hours, given the 52.3% share of violent crimes in the total monthly tally. These shifts illustrate how seasonal factors can amplify or suppress specific crime types without necessarily altering the overall safety profile.

Silsden's November 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 9.9% increase from the previous month's 4.6 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. This shift, though modest, contrasts with the area's overall position well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the 44 total crimes recorded over 30 days equate to roughly one crime per day, a figure that aligns with the area's historically low crime profile. When scaled to the population of 8,794, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 200 residents — a statistic that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the month-on-month rise. While the increase may raise questions, the area's continued performance below the UK average by 31.5% suggests broader systemic factors at play, such as community policing strategies or demographic characteristics that mitigate crime risks. Residents may find reassurance in the fact that even with this increase, Silsden remains a safer place than the national average, though vigilance around November-specific events like Black Friday could be prudent.
