Beddau Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 7,697 residents, the 35 crimes reported in June 2024 translate to 4.6 crimes per 1,000 people — a rate 43.9% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure reflects a relatively low-crime environment. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime mix, accounting for 34.3% of all incidents (12 cases), followed by public order offences (7, 20.0%) and anti-social behaviour (4, 11.4%). The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and early summer tourism, may have influenced some trends, though the area’s built-up character and proximity to rural landscapes likely play a role in shaping crime dynamics. Violent crime rates (1.6 per 1,000) are 42% below the UK average for this category, suggesting a combination of community factors and local policing efforts may contribute to this disparity. However, the spike in public order offences — which rose 250% month-on-month — indicates a need for closer attention to areas where such incidents are concentrated. The low rate of burglary (0.3 per 1,000) aligns with the UK average, but the sharp rise in vehicle crime (100% increase) hints at shifting patterns that could be linked to increased foot traffic or seasonal changes in parking habits. Overall, the data illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader regional trends, with Beddau’s crime profile remaining distinct from the national average.

June 2024 saw a 250% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 7 cases — the most significant month-on-month jump across all categories. This surge, which now accounts for 20.0% of total crimes, may reflect heightened community interactions during summer evenings or events in the built-up area. Conversely, violent crime rates dropped by 57.1% compared to the previous month, with incidents falling from 28 to 12. While this decline is encouraging, it contrasts with the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.8 per 1,000), which remains 42% higher than Beddau’s rate. Vehicle crime also rose sharply, doubling from 0 to 1 case, a figure that is 78% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This anomaly could suggest underreporting or targeted activity in specific locations. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 60.0%, from 10 to 4 cases, aligning with the UK average (1.4 per 1,000) but showing a marked improvement locally. The category of 'other crime' — which includes 3 incidents — is 150% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000), indicating potential gaps in local categorisation or unique local factors. Residents may find the daily crime count — approximately 1 incident per day — a useful metric for contextualising risk in the area.

The crime rate in June 2024 (4.6 per 1,000) represents a 32.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.8 per 1,000, highlighting a downward trend in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 1 crime per day — a figure that, while low, underscores the sporadic nature of incidents in a relatively small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 220 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Beddau well below the UK average in most categories. For instance, the rate of violence and sexual offences (1.6 per 1,000) is 42% below the UK average (2.8 per 1,000), while anti-social behaviour (0.5 per 1,000) is 64% below the national rate (1.4 per 1,000). However, public order offences (0.9 per 1,000) are 48% above the UK average (0.6 per 1,000), a discrepancy that may reflect the area’s built-up character and higher foot traffic in public spaces. When scaled to the population, these figures suggest that residents face a significantly lower risk of most major crimes compared to the UK as a whole, though the above-average rate of public order incidents indicates a specific challenge. The population context — 7,697 residents — further highlights how even small numbers of crimes can have a visible impact in a tightly knit community, where localised patterns may be more pronounced than in larger urban areas.
