Beck Row Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Beck Row, 2.9 crimes were reported in January 2026—a figure that translates to roughly one reported crime for every 341 residents over the course of the month. This rate is 57.4% below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000, reflecting a markedly safer environment compared to the national picture. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 61.1% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.1%) and possession of weapons (11.1%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of January, a post-holiday period marked by reduced retail activity and shorter days, which may limit opportunities for outdoor crimes. The low volume of property crimes—only 2 out of 18 total—suggests that burglary and vehicle-related offences are rare in this built-up area. However, the possession of weapons category stood out as 329% above the UK average, though this remains a small absolute number (2 incidents). This anomaly may reflect local factors, such as isolated incidents or specific community dynamics, but further data would be needed to confirm. Overall, the crime profile of Beck Row in January 2026 illustrates a community where violent incidents dominate, but the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average.

Violent crimes rose by 37.5% in January 2026, increasing from 8 to 11 incidents. This surge, though still low in absolute terms, may be linked to seasonal factors such as the post-holiday period, when social interactions shift and community dynamics change. Burglary saw a 100% increase, jumping from 0 to 1 incident, while possession of weapons also doubled from 0 to 2, marking a stark departure from the UK average, which is 0.1 per 1,000. These spikes highlight areas for local attention, even if they remain statistically minor. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson both saw declines, with the former 68% below the UK average and the latter 58% below. The breakdown of violent crimes—particularly violence and sexual offences—was 28% below the UK rate of 2.5 per 1,000, suggesting that while incidents occurred, their frequency was lower in Beck Row. For residents, the daily crime count of 1 per day provides a tangible reference point: in a month of 31 days, a resident has a roughly 1-in-341 chance of experiencing a reported crime. This figure, though small, underscores the low-risk environment of Beck Row compared to the UK average.

The crime rate in Beck Row increased by 12.3% from 2.6 per 1,000 in the previous month to 2.9 per 1,000 in January 2026, marking a slight upward trend. However, this remains far below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000, with the gap persisting at 57.4%. On a daily basis, Beck Row recorded an average of 1 crime per day in January—a figure that, while low, may reflect the area’s small population and the nature of its built-up environment. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 341 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when scaled to the local population of 6,135, illustrates the rarity of crime in this area. Despite the increase in violent crimes, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting that Beck Row’s community structure, perhaps its relatively small size and lower population density, contributes to its safer profile. The comparison to the UK average also highlights the importance of context: while Beck Row’s crime rate is low, the 12.3% month-on-month rise indicates that local factors—such as seasonal transitions or temporary spikes in specific crime types—may influence trends even within a generally safe area.
