Seaford Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Seaford’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 48.1% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure translates to a relatively low risk for residents, with only one crime reported for every 251 people over the course of the month. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (30 incidents, 31.6% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (15 incidents, 15.8%) and public order offences (13 incidents, 13.7%). These patterns suggest that interpersonal disputes and public conduct are significant contributors to local crime, though the overall rate remains well below national averages. Seasonal factors, such as the transition to darker evenings and Halloween activities, may have influenced the crime profile, potentially increasing opportunities for theft or disorder. However, the data also indicates a generally stable environment, with property crimes (31 incidents) and violent crimes (30 incidents) evenly distributed. The lower-than-average rates for shoplifting (21% below UK), vehicle crime (76% below UK), and burglary (100% below UK) suggest that Seaford’s built-up area may benefit from effective local policing or a community structure that reduces opportunities for certain types of crime. While the rise in robbery and burglary this month signals a need for continued vigilance, the overall picture remains one of relative safety, with crime levels that are significantly lower than those seen in many other parts of the UK.

October 2025 saw notable shifts in Seaford’s crime profile, with robbery and burglary both increasing by 100% compared to the previous month, rising from zero to one incident each. This spike may reflect the impact of Halloween-related activities or increased foot traffic in public spaces during the month. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 44.4%, from 27 to 15 incidents, suggesting a possible seasonal reduction in disruptive conduct. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, contributing 31.6% of all reported incidents, but this rate was 51% below the UK average. The drop in bicycle theft by 50% (from 2 to 1) may indicate improved security measures or fewer opportunities for theft during the month. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Seaford, where local events and environmental factors can influence reported incidents. For residents, the low overall rate and specific trends offer reassurance, though the rise in robbery and burglary underscores the need for vigilance in certain areas.

Seaford’s crime rate in October 2025 dropped slightly to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 2.2% decrease from the previous month’s 4.1. This modest decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as shorter daylight hours and Halloween activities may have temporarily shifted crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three reported crimes per day, a figure that reflects the low overall rate relative to the UK average. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for roughly every 251 residents, illustrating the relatively low risk individuals face in Seaford. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK’s average, which is not provided here. The population context further underscores that Seaford’s crime profile is shaped by its smaller, more tightly knit community, where local policing and community engagement may contribute to maintaining lower crime levels. These figures, when contextualised, highlight that daily life in Seaford is not typically disrupted by criminal activity, though the small number of incidents reported still warrants attention.
