Yeadon Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Yeadon's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 10.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 24.4% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure underscores a persistent challenge for the area, particularly given the dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 45.9% of all reported incidents — a rate 70% higher than the UK average. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, may partly explain this disparity, with 62 cases recorded, likely linked to the area's urban character and the social dynamics typical of built-up areas within larger cities like Leeds. The second most common category, public order offences, rose sharply in June, potentially reflecting the start of the summer season, which often correlates with increased public gatherings and associated challenges in managing community spaces. While property crimes such as shoplifting and burglary remained relatively low — shoplifting fell to 0.6 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 0.6 — the area's violent crime profile suggests a need for targeted interventions. This pattern is consistent with other urban centres where proximity to transport hubs, commercial activity, and social interactions contribute to higher rates of violent incidents. The seasonal context of June, with longer days and the beginning of tourist activity in nearby areas, may also have influenced crime trends. The data highlights a combination of local demographics, geography, and seasonal rhythms, all of which contribute to Yeadon's position relative to the UK average.

June saw a 150% increase in public order offences, rising from six to 15 incidents — a spike that may reflect heightened activity during the summer months. Theft from the person also rose sharply, doubling from zero to one incident, while robbery increased from zero to two. These figures contrast with notable declines in vehicle crime, which fell 71.4% from 14 to four incidents, and burglary, which dropped 62.5% from eight to three. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, contributing 45.9% of all reported crimes, a rate 70% above the UK average. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell 43% below the UK average, suggesting a possible focus on community policing efforts or seasonal differences in public conduct. For residents, the sharp rise in public order offences may signal a need for increased awareness of local initiatives aimed at managing summer-related disruptions.

Yeadon's crime rate in June 2024 rose 17.5% from the previous month, climbing to 10.2 per 1,000 residents — a figure that places it 24.4% above the UK average. This increase contrasts with the previous month’s rate of 8.7 per 1,000, reflecting a shift in crime patterns over a short period. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately four reported crimes per day, a figure that, while not unusually high in absolute terms, may feel more pronounced in a built-up area with a population of 13,226. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 98 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents in a relatively small community. When scaled to the population, this suggests a higher concentration of incidents compared to the UK average, though the exact reasons for this disparity remain unclear. The shift in crime types — particularly the sharp rise in public order offences — may reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, which often correlates with increased public activity and associated challenges in urban areas.
