Rawdon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Rawdon's crime profile shift sharply towards violent crime, with 20 incidents reported compared to 15 property crimes. This imbalance contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically accounts for a smaller share of total offences. The area's overall crime rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents places it 5.5% below the national average, yet specific categories reveal striking disparities. Violence and sexual offences dominated at 48.8% of all crimes, significantly higher than the UK's 32% share. This dominance may reflect seasonal factors, as November's dark evenings and high-stakes events like Bonfire Night could heighten tensions in Rawdon's built-up area. Burglary rates also rose sharply, reaching 0.7 per 1,000 residents—133% above the UK average—which could indicate vulnerabilities in domestic security during the holiday season. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and public order offences declined, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-fueled incidents during the month. The data highlights a combination of local demographics and seasonal pressures, with Rawdon's proximity to Leeds likely amplifying exposure to broader regional crime trends.

November 2025 marked a 32.3% increase in Rawdon's overall crime rate compared to October, driven by a 100% rise in burglary and anti-social behaviour. Violent crime accounted for nearly half of all incidents, a stark contrast to the UK average where violent crime typically represents a smaller proportion. Burglary, now at 0.7 per 1,000 residents, was 133% above the UK average—possibly linked to increased home occupancy during the holiday season. Conversely, public order offences fell by 80%, likely due to reduced alcohol-related incidents as November's colder weather curtailed outdoor gatherings. The area's anti-social behaviour rate also doubled, reaching 0.7 per 1,000 residents, which is 34% below the UK average—a paradox that may reflect improved policing in targeted areas. Residents should note the 100% increase in vehicle crime, with two incidents reported compared to one in October, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance in parking areas. These shifts illustrate how seasonal transitions and local events can dramatically influence crime patterns, even within a relatively low-crime built-up area.

Rawdon's November 2025 crime rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents marked a 32.3% increase from October's 5.2 per 1,000, reflecting a significant upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, underscores the concentrated nature of incidents during this month. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 145 residents, highlighting the relatively low monthly exposure compared to larger urban centres. This statistic is particularly notable when considering Rawdon's population of 5,961, which means the local crime rate is proportionally lower than the UK average despite the month-on-month increase. The area's population-scaled perspective reveals that while individual incidents may feel impactful, the overall risk remains modest. However, the sharp rise in violent crime and burglary compared to October suggests that local factors—such as increased foot traffic during Black Friday shopping or the timing of Bonfire Night—may have temporarily amplified vulnerabilities. These figures contextualize Rawdon's position as a built-up area within Leeds, where crime patterns are influenced by both local dynamics and broader regional trends.
