Bedworth Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bedworth's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 9.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 27.3% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a built-up area where property and violent crimes collectively account for over 40% of reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences (26.9% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (22.0%) dominated the crime profile, with both categories significantly exceeding national averages. The seasonal context of October—marked by darker evenings and Halloween—may have contributed to the persistence of anti-social behaviour. Shoplifting, at 16.4% of total crimes, was 154% above the UK average, a figure that aligns with Bedworth's status as a retail hub with multiple high-street locations. The data also highlights a stark contrast in regional trends: while violent crime rates in Bedworth are in line with the national average for this category, property crimes are higher, likely driven by the area's commercial activity and population density. These patterns suggest that local policing strategies should focus on both targeted interventions in high-risk areas and broader community engagement to address the root causes of anti-social behaviour.

October 2025 saw sharp increases in 'other crime' (+125.0%) and bicycle theft (+100.0%) compared to September, though the latter category remained extremely low overall. These spikes, while statistically significant, occurred against a backdrop of declines in burglary (-36.4%), robbery (-33.3%), and anti-social behaviour (-21.3%), which had previously been the most common type of crime. The anti-social behaviour category remains 75% above the UK average at 2.2 per 1,000, suggesting persistent challenges in managing public order. Meanwhile, shoplifting—though still 154% above the UK average—showed no month-on-month change, indicating a stable pattern in retail crime. For residents, the 125% surge in 'other crime' underscores the importance of vigilance in reporting unusual activities, as this category often includes less predictable offences that may not fit into more defined categories.

Bedworth's crime rate in October 2025 remained stable compared to September, declining by 2.0% to 9.8 per 1,000 residents from 10.0 per 1,000. This suggests a consistent level of criminal activity over the past two months, with no dramatic shifts. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 9 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the local context of a built-up area with a population of 29,102. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 102 residents, a monthly exposure rate that provides a tangible sense of risk for residents. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the stability in month-on-month figures indicates that local policing or community initiatives may have maintained a steady response to crime. The population-scaled perspective shows that crime remains a notable but not overwhelming presence in daily life, requiring ongoing attention from both authorities and residents.
