Amber Valley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Amber Valley recorded 838 crimes in November 2025, equating to a crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 12.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, positioning the area as relatively safer than the national benchmark. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44.2% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (10.5%) and public order offences (9.3%). These patterns may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the darker evenings typical of November, which can contribute to an increase in violent crimes. The area also saw a notable presence of public order offences, which were 28% above the UK average, potentially linked to local events or increased community activity during the month. The relatively low rates of vehicle crime (50% below UK average) and shoplifting (37% below UK average) suggest effective local measures or environmental factors that deter such crimes. However, the spike in robbery incidents, which rose by 140% compared to the previous month, indicates areas where targeted interventions may be necessary. The overall crime rate, while lower than the UK average, reflects a combination of local dynamics, including the impact of November-specific events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday, which may have influenced both violent and property crime trends.

November 2025 saw sharp fluctuations in specific crime types, with robbery incidents surging by 140% (from 5 to 12) and other theft increasing by 42.9% (from 42 to 60). This spike in robbery may partly explain the 9% above UK average for violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.2% of all crimes. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 51.9% (from 52 to 25), a decline that aligns with the 50% below UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 22.8% (from 114 to 88), contributing to the 34% below UK average for this type. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, with seasonal factors like dark evenings and Bonfire Night potentially influencing violent crimes, while Black Friday shopping may have driven shoplifting reductions as retailers reported fewer incidents.

Amber Valley’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 4.9% decline from the previous month’s 6.8 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent trend of reduced incidents. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 28 crimes reported over 30 days, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, the probability of experiencing a reported crime was roughly 1 in 156 residents, a metric that provides a tangible sense of risk relative to the population of 130,451. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which would be derived from broader national data not provided here. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Amber Valley’s crime management strategies may be aligning with broader national trends, though local factors such as community policing initiatives or seasonal influences could also play a role in this reduction.
