Steeton Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Steeton’s crime rate for April 2025 stands at 6.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 18.2% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure translates to a per-capita risk that is significantly lower than the national benchmark, though local variations in crime types remain evident. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 54.6% of all incidents reported—this category is 34% above the UK average, suggesting a disproportionate concentration of violent crime in the area. Public order offences follow closely, making up 21.2% of total crimes and 141% above the UK average, which may reflect the dynamics of Steeton’s urban environment. Seasonal factors are likely at play, as April’s Easter period and spring weather typically drive increased outdoor activity and community engagement, potentially influencing crime patterns. However, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage are both below UK averages, with anti-social behaviour 70% lower than the national rate. This divergence could be attributed to Steeton’s specific characteristics, such as its built-up area status within Bradford, which may foster different social interactions compared to more rural or suburban settings. The data illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, with certain crime types requiring closer attention while others remain relatively stable.

April 2025 saw significant increases in three crime categories: criminal damage and arson, drugs, and other theft, each doubling from their March figures. These rises, though small in absolute terms, highlight shifts in local crime patterns. Violent crimes, which make up 54.6% of total incidents, remain 34% above the UK average, suggesting a persistent challenge in this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage are both below UK averages, with anti-social behaviour 70% lower than the national rate. For residents, the most concrete takeaway is the spike in criminal damage and arson—now at 0.4 per 1,000, compared to 0.2 in March. This could be linked to Easter-related activities or seasonal property maintenance, though no definitive causal link is established. The data also reveals a stark contrast between Steeton’s violent crime rate and the UK average, indicating a need for targeted policing or community interventions in this area.

In April 2025, Steeton’s crime rate dropped by 10.9% compared to March, falling from 7.1 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader seasonal trend in spring, when increased daylight and community activity may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported each day, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 158 residents over the course of the month—a rate that is lower than the UK average. This monthly exposure provides context for residents: while no single day is likely to be affected, the cumulative risk over time remains a factor for those living or working in the area. The population size of 5,222 further underscores that even small fluctuations in crime numbers can have measurable impacts on local safety perceptions.
