Rawdon Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rawdon's crime profile in July 2025 reflects a stark contrast to the UK average, with a rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents—nearly half the national figure of 8.6. This 47.7% deficit underscores the area's relative safety, even as seasonal dynamics influence specific crime types. Violence and sexual offences dominate the landscape, accounting for 51.9% of all reported crimes, a category that remains 21% below the UK average. Public order offences, though a smaller proportion (11.1% of total), surged by 200% compared to the previous month, likely linked to the summer festival season and increased foot traffic in public spaces. The area's burglary rate, while lower than in previous months (down 40%), still exceeds the UK average by 85%, highlighting vulnerabilities in property security. Seasonal factors—such as schools being out, tourism peaks, and outdoor events—may contribute to fluctuations in crime patterns, with public order and anti-social behaviour often rising during these periods. However, the marked drop in anti-social behaviour (75%) and the absence of reported drug-related crimes in June suggest that community initiatives or seasonal variations may play a role in shaping these trends. The overall crime rate, though modest, remains a focal point for local authorities, who must balance targeted interventions with the area's broader safety achievements.

July 2025 marked a sharp increase in public order offences, rising from 1 to 3 incidents—a 200% jump—likely tied to the area's summer festival calendar and increased pedestrian activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour dropped by 75%, from 4 to 1, possibly due to heightened community engagement during the month. Burglary rates also declined by 40%, from 5 to 3, though this remains 85% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Shoplifting and drug-related offences both doubled from zero to 2 incidents, suggesting new patterns in criminal activity. The violent crime category, which accounts for 51.9% of all reported crimes, remains 21% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, indicating a persistent focus on addressing interpersonal crime in the area.

Rawdon's crime rate in July 2025 rose by 28.7% compared to the previous month, climbing from 3.5 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents. While this marks an increase, the area remains 47.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, 1 crime was reported over the 31 days of July, a figure that translates to roughly one incident for every 221 residents during the month. This monthly exposure rate, though modest, underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Rawdon compared to national trends. The population of 5,961 residents means that the impact of each incident is felt across a tightly knit community, where local awareness and community policing may play a role in maintaining lower rates despite the upward shift. The contrast between Rawdon's figures and the UK average highlights the effectiveness of local strategies in mitigating crime, even as seasonal factors like summer festivals and increased foot traffic may temporarily elevate certain categories.
