Beddau Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Beddau's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 43.2% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This figure reflects a consistently low crime profile for the built-up area within Rhondda Cynon Taf, a region historically marked by industrial decline and rural character. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 65.6% of all reported incidents—a rate of 2.7 per 1,000, 5% above the UK average. This category's prominence may be partly explained by the area's demographic composition, which includes a significant proportion of young adults and students drawn to nearby educational institutions. Other crime, though less frequent, was 150% above the UK average, suggesting potential gaps in local policing or unmet community needs. Theft from the person, while relatively minor in overall numbers, saw a 100% increase from zero to two incidents, a shift that may correlate with the start of the academic year and increased foot traffic in the area. Public order offences, meanwhile, decreased by 50% compared to August, reflecting a reduction in late-night gatherings or improved local enforcement. The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school activities and the transition from summer to autumn—likely influenced these patterns. Beddau's overall crime rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, indicating a community that, despite pockets of concern, maintains a generally safe environment for its residents.

September 2025 saw a stark contrast in crime trends within Beddau. Theft from the person, drugs, and other crime all doubled compared to August, with theft from the person rising from 0 to 2 incidents—a 100% increase. This surge aligns with the seasonal transition of September, when university freshers and back-to-school activities may increase opportunities for such offences. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 83.3% (from 6 to 1), and public order offences dropped by 50% (from 4 to 2), suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-related incidents or improved community engagement during the month. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 65.6% of all crimes—were 5% above the UK average rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This category's prominence may reflect local factors such as the area's proximity to educational institutions from the data alone. Other crime, at 150% above the UK average, highlights a specific category that deserves closer attention, though its exact nature remains unspecified in the dataset.

Beddau's crime rate in September 2025 dropped to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 13.5% decrease from the previous month's 4.8 per 1,000. This decline places the area firmly in the lower bracket of UK crime statistics, with 43.2% fewer crimes reported than the national average. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one reported crime per day in September—a figure that, while non-zero, reflects a consistent low-level trend in local policing records. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 241 residents experienced a reported crime, a ratio that, when contextualised against the area's population of 7,697, illustrates a manageable level of risk for residents. The population-scaled perspective shows that Beddau's crime profile remains distinct from both urban centres and rural regions, with its low overall rate suggesting a community where local initiatives and policing efforts may be effectively mitigating risks. The 13.5% month-on-month drop aligns with seasonal patterns, as September marks the start of the academic year and a potential shift in local activity levels.
