Beddau Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In May 2025, Beddau recorded a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure translates to a relatively low risk for residents, with one reported crime occurring for every 175 individuals over the course of the month. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 36.4% of all incidents, followed by public order offences (18.2%) and anti-social behaviour (15.9%). These patterns reflect a mix of persistent challenges and seasonal influences, with the latter particularly evident in the surge of public order offences linked to May’s extended evenings and bank holidays. The area’s crime profile aligns with its character as a mid-sized built-up area within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where community dynamics and local infrastructure shape the types of incidents reported. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average, remain a significant concern, potentially tied to the area’s social and economic context. Public order offences, which are 72% above the UK average, may be influenced by the town’s proximity to retail and leisure hubs, where late-night activity increases during warmer months. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average by 37%, saw a dramatic month-on-month rise, likely driven by the combination of longer evenings and the timing of local events. This interplay between fixed community factors and seasonal rhythms underscores the importance of contextual analysis in understanding local crime trends. The relatively low overall rate suggests that Beddau’s residents face a manageable level of risk, though targeted interventions may be needed to address specific categories such as public order offences. The data also highlights the value of comparing Beddau’s figures to the UK average, as this provides a benchmark for assessing the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives. Overall, the crime picture in May 2025 illustrates the complex relationship between local demographics, environmental factors, and the timing of incidents, all of which contribute to the area’s unique security profile.

May 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour surging by 133.3% as the category increased from three to seven incidents. This rise may be linked to the extended evenings and increased socialising typical of the month, particularly during bank holidays. Concurrently, vehicle crime doubled to four incidents, a 100% increase from April, possibly reflecting seasonal changes in parking habits or outdoor activity. Conversely, other theft and drugs-related crimes each fell by 75%, dropping from four to one incident. This decline could indicate the impact of local initiatives or heightened awareness during the month. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 15.8%, a reduction that contrasts with the UK average for this category, which remains 26% below the national benchmark. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Beddau, where specific incidents can significantly influence monthly statistics.

Beddau’s crime rate in May 2025 remained stable compared to the previous month, declining slightly by 2.2% to 5.7 per 1,000 residents from 5.9 per 1,000 in April. This small drop aligns with broader trends observed in the area, where crime rates have shown resilience despite seasonal fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in May, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, the likelihood of encountering a reported crime was roughly one in every 175 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. This figure is particularly meaningful when considering Beddau’s population of 7,697, as it translates to a manageable risk level for most individuals. The stability in crime rates may reflect ongoing community efforts or the influence of local factors such as weather patterns, which can moderate outdoor activity and associated risks. However, the absence of a UK-wide daily comparison means this local context remains distinct and self-contained.
