Beck Row Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Beck Row's November 2025 crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents — 64.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 — illustrates a marked divergence from national trends. The area's crime profile is dominated by anti-social behaviour (31.3% of total incidents), criminal damage and arson (25.0%), and violence and sexual offences (18.8%). These figures, while reflecting local patterns, are consistently lower than UK averages for all three categories: anti-social behaviour is 25% below the national rate, violence and sexual offences are 81% below, and criminal damage is 32% above. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, may contribute to fluctuations in public order offences, though the overall trend remains one of relative safety. Beck Row's low crime rate aligns with its character as a built-up area within West Suffolk, where limited population density and rural proximity likely reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The dominance of anti-social behaviour, which often occurs in localised settings, may be influenced by the area's social dynamics and community interactions. The absence of major urban features such as high streets or nightlife areas means that crimes like theft from the person or vehicle-related offences are less prevalent, further explaining the area's distinct profile. The low levels of property crime — with only five incidents reported — suggest that burglary and other property-related offences are not significant concerns in Beck Row, a pattern consistent with its geographic and demographic characteristics. These factors collectively illustrate a community with a relatively low crime burden, where the most pressing concerns are managing anti-social behaviour and addressing sporadic incidents of criminal damage.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in public order offences, rising from zero to three incidents — a shift that may partly reflect the seasonal impact of Bonfire Night and darker evenings. Concurrently, other theft decreased by 75% (from four to one incident), suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes during the month. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 40% (from five to three), a decline that contrasts with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, where Beck Row's rate of 0.5 per 1,000 is 81% below. Anti-social behaviour, the most common crime type, remains 25% below the UK average (0.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000), highlighting a consistent pattern of lower levels of disruptive incidents in Beck Row compared to the national picture. These shifts in crime mix suggest a notable realignment in the area's crime profile, with property-related crimes accounting for just 31.3% of total incidents — a relatively low share compared to the UK's broader distribution. A resident would find the 81% reduction in violence and sexual offences particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a marked improvement in community safety during the month.

Beck Row's November 2025 crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents marks a 15.8% decrease from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of lower crime levels. With 16 total crimes recorded over 30 days, the area experienced roughly one crime per day — a figure that, while local to Beck Row, underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 383 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of crime within the built-up area's population of 6,135. This monthly exposure rate is particularly striking when viewed alongside the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with Beck Row's rate being 64.4% below the national figure. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime than the average UK citizen, a contrast that aligns with the area's rural character and limited population density. While daily crime counts may seem high in absolute terms for a small community, the context of Beck Row's demographic and geographic profile suggests that these numbers are consistent with the area's broader safety profile.
