Beddau Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Beddau’s crime rate remain at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, 34.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This rate, while modest, reflects the area’s character as a built-up part of Rhondda Cynon Taf, where community dynamics and local infrastructure likely influence crime patterns. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.5% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.9%) and public order offences (8.1%). These figures suggest a balance between personal safety concerns and broader social disruptions, with the latter declining sharply compared to the previous month. Seasonal factors, particularly the timing of Bonfire Night, appear to have played a significant role in shaping crime trends, as evidenced by the 200% increase in criminal damage and arson. This surge underscores the need for targeted measures during such events, while the overall lower-than-average rate indicates that the area maintains a generally safer profile compared to the UK as a whole. The relatively low incidence of property crimes, such as shoplifting (5.4% of total) and other theft (5.4% of total), further supports the notion that Beddau’s crime profile is distinct from other regions, where property-related offences often dominate. However, the sharp fluctuations in specific categories highlight the importance of contextualising crime statistics within local events and environmental factors, rather than relying solely on aggregate figures.

The most dramatic month-on-month change occurred in criminal damage and arson, which rose by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents). This surge aligns with November’s Bonfire Night, a period historically linked to firework-related incidents. Concurrently, other crime and drugs categories both doubled from the previous month, though these remain well below UK averages. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime type, fell by 53.3% (from 15 to 7), likely due to reduced public gatherings as the month progressed. Public order offences also dropped sharply by 70%, possibly influenced by the transition from autumn to winter, with fewer outdoor events. Violence and sexual offences, at 15 incidents (40.5% of total), remained 22% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. These shifts underscore the impact of seasonal factors on crime patterns, with spikes in categories tied to specific events and declines in those associated with prolonged public activity. A resident might note that the 200% increase in criminal damage and arson highlights the need for vigilance around bonfire events, while the significant drop in public order offences suggests a reduction in large-scale gatherings during the month.

Beddau’s November 2025 crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 40.3% decline from the previous month’s rate of 8.1 per 1,000. This downward trend is reflected in daily crime statistics, with approximately one reported crime occurring each day in the built-up area. Over the course of the month, the average resident faced a 1-in-208 chance of being involved in a reported crime, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in relation to the local population. When compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, Beddau remains significantly safer, with its rate 34.2% below the national figure. This contrast highlights the area’s relatively low crime profile, though the sharp month-on-month shifts in specific categories suggest localised factors influencing crime patterns. The population context also underscores the impact of such rates: with 7,697 residents, the 37 reported crimes represent a manageable volume, particularly when considering the area’s character as a built-up part of Rhondda Cynon Taf. These figures, while modest in absolute terms, warrant attention to the underlying changes that drive them, including seasonal events and community dynamics that may amplify or mitigate risk in specific crime categories.
