Beddau Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 7,697 residents, Beddau recorded 58 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 7.5 per 1,000 people—7.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure represents a 31.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000, reflecting seasonal shifts as summer begins. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 26 incidents (44.8% of total crimes), followed by criminal damage and arson (8 cases) and public order offences (7 cases). The seasonal context of June—longer daylight hours and the onset of summer tourism—may contribute to patterns observed in public order and violent crimes. While violent crime rates in Beddau (3.4 per 1,000) are 19% above the UK average for this category, property crimes remain lower, with shoplifting incidents (0.5 per 1,000) 21% below the national average. The area’s relatively low vehicle crime rate (0.1 per 1,000) suggests fewer opportunities for such offences, possibly linked to limited car ownership or secure parking infrastructure. These figures highlight a combination of local demographics, seasonal activity, and regional crime trends.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in shoplifting (+300%), criminal damage and arson (+100%), and possession of weapons (+100%), reflecting potential spikes in opportunistic behaviour during summer. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 75% (from 4 to 1 incidents), possibly due to reduced car usage or enhanced security measures. The crime mix shifted significantly, with violent crimes (26 cases) now comprising 44.8% of total incidents—up from 35% in May. This increase in violence and sexual offences (3.4 per 1,000) is 19% above the UK average, suggesting local factors such as community tensions or increased alcohol-related incidents in public spaces. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (0.8 per 1,000) remained 44% below the UK average, indicating effective community policing or fewer incidents of disruptive conduct. The marked rise in criminal damage and arson (1.0 per 1,000) is 72% above the national average, raising questions about targeted vandalism or property-related disputes in the area. Residents may find the 31.8% month-on-month increase in overall crime rates a concern, though the area still maintains a lower-than-average profile for property crimes.

The crime rate in Beddau (7.5 per 1,000) for June 2025 represents a 31.8% increase from May’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000, marking a notable upward trend. On a daily basis, this equates to roughly 2 crimes per day across the built-up area, a figure that may seem low to residents but highlights the concentrated nature of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 133 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Beddau in contrast to areas with higher population density and corresponding crime rates. While the overall rate remains 7.4% below the UK average, the sharp rise in violent crimes and criminal damage raises questions about localised pressures. The population-scaled perspective shows that, despite the increase, Beddau’s crime rate is still relatively low compared to national benchmarks. For instance, the area’s anti-social behaviour rate (0.8 per 1,000) is 44% below the UK average, suggesting effective community interventions or lower levels of disruptive conduct. However, the 72% increase in criminal damage and arson compared to the UK average underscores areas for targeted policing. These comparisons illustrate that while Beddau is generally safer than the national average, specific crime types warrant closer attention.
