Steeton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violent crimes dominate Steeton's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 58.8% of all reported incidents and significantly outpacing the UK average for this category. The area's overall crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents places it 11% below the national average of 7.3, a figure that underscores its relative safety despite the dominance of violent offences. This discrepancy between the area's violent crime rate and its overall performance may reflect the unique characteristics of Steeton as a built-up area within Bradford, where higher concentrations of population and social activity could contribute to elevated levels of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the onset of darker evenings—likely plays a role in shaping these patterns, as these events can influence both criminal activity and policing priorities. While property crimes remain low at 3 incidents (0.6 per 1,000), violent crimes have surged to 20 incidents (3.8 per 1,000), a rate that is 48% above the UK average. This imbalance suggests that the area's crime picture is driven by factors such as the density of its population, the nature of its social interactions, and the potential impact of local events on public safety. The prominence of violence and sexual offences, which constitute nearly 60% of all crimes, highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where such incidents are concentrated, such as public spaces or high-traffic zones. The relatively low levels of property crime, meanwhile, may indicate effective security measures or a lower incidence of opportunistic theft in the area, though this remains a topic for further analysis.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, with one reported incident compared to zero in October, a shift that may be attributed to seasonal changes affecting parking patterns or increased vehicle activity during Black Friday. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, rising from two to four incidents, a trend that could reflect heightened social interactions during the festive season or the impact of darker evenings on community dynamics. Public order offences rose by 20%, reaching six incidents, a figure that is 155% above the UK average for this category. This stark contrast highlights the area's unique challenges in managing public spaces, particularly during events like Bonfire Night. Property crimes remained exceptionally low at three incidents, a rate that is significantly below the UK average for this category. These trends suggest that while violent and disorderly crimes are on the rise, the area continues to maintain a strong record in preventing property-related offences, which may be influenced by local policing strategies or community engagement efforts.

Steeton's crime rate rose by 9.6% from 5.9 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, marking a slight upward trend after a period of relative stability. Locally, this translates to approximately one reported crime per day over the course of the month, a figure that reflects the area's small population of 5,222 residents. When considering the monthly exposure, 1 in every 154 residents experienced a crime during November, a statistic that underscores the community's manageable risk profile despite the increase. This rate remains lower than the UK average, which stands at 7.3 per 1,000, suggesting that Steeton continues to perform better than the national benchmark in terms of crime prevention. The shift from the previous month may be linked to seasonal factors such as the onset of darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which can influence local crime patterns. However, the overall rate remains within a range that indicates effective local policing or community initiatives, even if the month-on-month increase is statistically significant but not alarming in absolute terms.
