Bedworth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Bedworth, 11.4 crimes were recorded in July 2025—a rate 32.6% higher than the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one reported crime for every 88 residents over the course of the month, a figure that highlights the everyday reality of crime in the area. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (32.2% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (23.8%) and shoplifting (12.4%). These patterns may partly explain the local context: July, a peak summer month with schools out, festivals, and increased tourism, could have contributed to higher incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour in public spaces. Shoplifting rates, 115% above the UK average, may reflect the presence of retail centres and the seasonal influx of visitors to local shops and markets. The data also shows a stark contrast between property crimes and violent crimes, with the latter dominating the crime profile. This imbalance suggests that community safety initiatives targeting public order and personal safety may need closer attention, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or during events that draw crowds. The seasonal context of July—when outdoor events and festivals are in full swing—likely plays a role in shaping these trends, though the exact causal links remain to be explored.

July 2025 saw sharp increases in certain crime types, with robbery jumping 150% (from 2 to 5 incidents) and drugs-related offences rising 133% (from 3 to 7). Possession of weapons also surged by 100%, from 3 to 6 cases. These spikes may be linked to the summer season, when increased social activity and event attendance could create environments conducive to such crimes. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 50%, from 2 to 1, due to heightened awareness or fewer opportunities during the day. The data also reveals that Bedworth’s violent crime rate (3.7 per 1,000) is 22% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (2.7 per 1,000) is 74% higher than the national figure. This stark divergence from UK norms suggests that local factors—such as community dynamics, policing strategies, or socioeconomic conditions—may be amplifying these issues. Shoplifting remains a persistent problem, with rates 115% above the UK average. For residents, this highlights the need for vigilance in retail areas, where thefts are more likely to occur. The contrast with categories like vehicle crime (23% below UK average) and burglary (26% below) indicates that certain aspects of Bedworth’s crime profile align with national trends, even as others diverge significantly.

Bedworth’s crime rate in July 2025 (11.4 per 1,000) marked an 18.6% increase from the previous month’s rate of 9.6 per 1,000, reflecting a rising trend that may be influenced by seasonal factors. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 11 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 29,102 residents. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for every 88 residents over the course of the month—a rate that, while not uncommon in built-up areas, remains higher than the UK average. Comparing this to the previous month, the increase suggests a possible shift in crime patterns linked to the summer season, when outdoor events and festivals may draw larger crowds and create opportunities for certain types of crime. The population context also reveals that, despite the relatively high crime rate, the absolute number of incidents (332) is manageable within the community’s size. However, the significant divergence from UK averages in categories like anti-social behaviour and violence indicates that targeted interventions may be necessary to address these specific issues. Residents should be aware that, while the overall rate is rising, the distribution of crime types suggests that some areas or activities may be more vulnerable than others.
