Bedworth Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Bedworth's crime profile in February 2025, accounting for 31.2% of all reported incidents. With a total crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents—3% below the UK average—the area's data reveals a combination of localised tensions and broader regional trends. The dominance of violent crime, at 2.0 per 1,000, contrasts with the UK average of 2.4 per 1,000, suggesting potential factors such as community policing efforts or seasonal dynamics. February's winter conditions, with reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may have contributed to higher indoor incidents or targeted vulnerabilities. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than violent crime, remained a concern at 1.3 per 1,000, 34% above the UK rate, pointing to persistent challenges in community engagement. The area's crime picture also shows a notable balance: property crimes (62) and violent crimes (59) formed the bulk of reported incidents, but categories like vehicle crime (0.3 per 1,000) and burglary (0.1 per 1,000) remained significantly below national averages. These discrepancies may reflect Bedworth's built-up character within a larger rural context, where targeted interventions in high-risk areas could be sustaining lower rates for certain offences. The seasonal context further suggests that as spring approaches, shifts in community patterns—such as increased outdoor events or changing social dynamics—may influence future crime trends.

February 2025 saw a 150% increase in public order offences, rising from 6 to 15 incidents. This sharp rise, coupled with a 100% increase in robbery cases, highlights shifting patterns in community safety. Meanwhile, other thefts rose by 40%, indicating potential vulnerabilities in local retail or residential areas. These increases contrast with notable declines: criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, and burglary dropped by 33.3%. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, at 2.0 per 1,000 (31.2% share), 15% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, however, surged 34% above the national rate, suggesting pressures in community cohesion. For residents, the 150% spike in public order incidents—often linked to alcohol-fuelled disputes in high-traffic areas—may warrant closer attention during evenings and weekends.

Bedworth's crime rate in February 2025 fell to 6.5 per 1,000 residents, a 13% decrease from the previous month's 7.5 per 1,000. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as February marks a pre-spring lull in outdoor activity and community events. Daily crime counts averaged 7 incidents per day across the 28-day period, reflecting a steady but manageable level of criminal activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 154 residents, placing Bedworth's monthly exposure slightly below the UK average for comparable built-up areas. The population context highlights that the 189 total crimes reported represent a proportionally low share of the local population, with property crimes (62) and violent crimes (59) forming the bulk of the recorded incidents. This distribution suggests a balance between localised tensions and broader community safety measures that may have contributed to the downward trend.
