Adur Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a district of 64,889 residents, November 2025 saw 331 crimes reported across Adur, equating to 5.1 crimes per 1,000 people. This rate places the area 30.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a position that reflects both proactive policing and the district's demographic profile. The crime breakdown highlights violence and sexual offences as the most prevalent category, accounting for 32.6% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.8%) and shoplifting (15.1%). These patterns align with Adur's mix of urban and coastal environments, where high foot traffic in retail areas may contribute to shoplifting, while social dynamics in residential zones could explain anti-social behaviour trends. Seasonal factors in November, including Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely influenced crime patterns, though the overall rate remained stable compared to previous months. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.7 per 1,000, are 34% below the UK average, suggesting effective community initiatives or lower incident rates in this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour's 4% excess over the UK average indicates areas requiring targeted interventions. The data also reveals a 27% above-average rate for shoplifting, which may correlate with retail activity during the month. These findings underscore the need for tailored approaches to address specific crime types while maintaining the district's overall low crime profile.

November saw a 77.8% drop in 'other crime' from 9 to 2, reflecting a significant reduction in unclassified incidents. Vehicle crime fell by 42.9% (14 to 8), possibly linked to fewer holiday-related traffic patterns or seasonal vehicle storage. Criminal damage and arson decreased by 41.9% (31 to 18), a shift that may align with reduced public gatherings during the month. Violence and sexual offences remained 34% below the UK average at 1.7 per 1,000, while anti-social behaviour exceeded the national average by 4%, suggesting persistent challenges in certain community areas. The breakdown also reveals shoplifting at 0.8 per 1,000, 27% above the UK average, a figure that could correlate with Black Friday shopping activity. Residents may find the 11 daily crime figure a useful benchmark for understanding local risk levels in relation to national statistics.

Adur's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a 16.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.1 per 1,000.
