Rawdon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rawdon's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, significantly lower than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000 (56.8% below). This built-up area within Leeds saw violence and sexual offences as the most common crime type, accounting for 42.9% of all reported incidents (9 cases). Burglary followed closely at 23.8% (5 cases), while anti-social behaviour made up 19.1% (4 cases). The data aligns with seasonal patterns typical of early summer, when longer daylight hours and the onset of tourism may influence crime dynamics. However, the overall rate remains low, consistent with Rawdon's character as a relatively compact, suburban-style area within a major urban conurbation. The violent crime category, though still the largest single category, showed a marked decrease from May's higher figure. This could reflect seasonal shifts in population movement or increased community engagement during the warmer months. Burglary rates, while elevated compared to the UK average (186% above), remain numerically small in absolute terms, suggesting targeted rather than widespread criminal activity. Anti-social behaviour, which constitutes a significant portion of reported crimes, may be influenced by local social dynamics and the area's proximity to larger urban centres. The low overall crime rate contrasts with the UK average, pointing to effective local policing strategies or community initiatives that have contributed to maintaining safety levels. As June marks the start of summer, the data may also hint at early signs of increased outdoor activity influencing crime patterns, though further analysis would be needed to confirm such correlations.

June 2025 saw a 43.8% decrease in violent crimes compared to May, with the category falling from 16 to 9 incidents. This drop is particularly notable given that violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.9% of all crimes, making them the most significant category in the area. Meanwhile, public order offences experienced a 100% increase, rising from zero to one incident—a shift that may reflect heightened police visibility or changes in community behaviour during the summer months. Burglary also saw a 100% increase, jumping from zero to five cases, though this remains well below the UK average for the category (0.3 per 1,000). Conversely, other crime types saw substantial reductions, with 'other crime' falling by 75% (from four to one incident). Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 33.3%, from six to four cases, suggesting potential improvements in community management or increased reporting of more serious crimes. The data highlights a combination of specific categories, with violent crime declining sharply while property-related offences showed mixed trends. Rawdon's burglary rate (0.8 per 1,000) is 186% above the UK average, indicating a particular vulnerability in this category that may warrant targeted interventions. This contrast with the area's overall low crime rate underscores the importance of focusing on specific high-risk categories for local policing strategies.

Rawdon's crime rate in June 2025 (3.5 per 1,000 residents) represents a 38.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as significantly safer than it was in May, though it remains far below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may seem high in absolute terms but is contextually low when considering the area's population of 5,961 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 284 residents—a statistic that provides a tangible sense of the area's safety profile. This monthly exposure rate is particularly meaningful for residents, as it illustrates the low probability of being directly affected by crime. When compared to the UK average, Rawdon's overall safety is starkly evident, with its crime rate being nearly 57% lower than the national figure. However, the area's burglary rate (0.8 per 1,000) is higher than the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), highlighting a specific vulnerability that may require targeted attention. The contrast between Rawdon's overall safety and its elevated burglary rate suggests that while the area generally benefits from effective crime prevention measures, certain types of crime remain areas for improvement. This nuanced picture underscores the importance of both celebrating progress and identifying specific challenges that require localised solutions.
