Steeton Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

February 2025 marked a relatively stable period for crime in Steeton, with an overall rate of 6.1 crimes per 1,000 residents—9% below the UK average of 6.7. This performance positions the area as slightly safer than the national benchmark. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 43.8% of all incidents, a figure 15% higher than the UK average. This category’s persistence, despite a minor 6.7% monthly decline, may reflect underlying social or economic pressures within the built-up area. In contrast, anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which often correlate with community cohesion and local amenities, saw notable reductions. These decreases align with February’s seasonal context—a winter month marked by lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull that may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the sharp 200% increase in criminal damage and arson raises questions about potential triggers, such as targeted vandalism or unaddressed environmental factors. The area’s crime profile, shaped by its position within Bradford, suggests a combination of local dynamics and broader regional trends, with property crime and violent offences remaining key concerns. While the overall rate remains stable, the distribution of crime types indicates areas for further analysis, particularly in addressing the overrepresentation of violence and the sudden spike in property-related damage.

February 2025 saw a 50% reduction in public order offences, the most significant monthly decline, likely reflecting a quieter winter period with fewer social gatherings. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 33.3%, suggesting a potential shift in community dynamics or heightened local awareness. However, criminal damage and arson surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents—a stark anomaly that may point to targeted vandalism or seasonal factors. Violence and sexual offences. still remained 15% above the UK average, underscoring Steeton’s unique challenges in this category. Residents may find the drop in public order crimes particularly noteworthy, as it directly impacts the perceived safety of local spaces. The contrast between falling anti-social behaviour and rising criminal damage highlights the need for targeted interventions, as these categories often reflect different community pressures.

Steeton's crime rate in February 2025 remained stable at 6.1 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall crime trends, though localized fluctuations in specific categories may still be occurring. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day over the 28-day period, reflecting a low-frequency pattern that aligns with Steeton’s built-up character within Bradford. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of one crime for every 163 residents provides context for residents: over the course of the month, the likelihood of encountering a crime is relatively low compared to larger urban areas. However, this metric does not capture the concentrated nature of certain crime types, such as violence and sexual offences, which accounted for nearly half of all incidents. The population context further underscores that Steeton’s crime profile, while stable, is influenced by its specific demographic and geographic position within a broader metropolitan region.
