Selston Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Selston’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, 45.2% below the UK average of 7.3. For a community of 6,489 people, this translates to 26 total crimes—a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety compared to larger urban centres. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (38.5% of the total), followed by other theft (23.1%) and anti-social behaviour (15.4%). These patterns align with November’s seasonal dynamics, including the onset of darker evenings and the Black Friday shopping period, which may have influenced retail-related crimes. Violence and sexual offences, while up 42.9% from October, remained significantly below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Other theft, however, rose 20% to six incidents, 76% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This discrepancy suggests that while broader crime trends are subdued, specific categories may reflect local economic or social pressures. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.6 per 1,000, was 43% below the UK average, indicating effective community policing or a lower prevalence of public disturbances in Selston. The area’s crime profile, shaped by its small size and built-up nature, appears to be influenced by a combination of seasonal factors and local initiatives, though further data would be needed to confirm direct causal links.

November 2025 saw a 42.9% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 7 to 10 incidents. This jump, though still below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 (42% below), may partly explain by the timing of Bonfire Night and darker evenings, which can heighten tensions in community spaces. Other theft also rose by 20%, with six incidents reported—76% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This category’s increase could reflect heightened retail activity during Black Friday, though the overall crime rate remains well below national levels. Conversely, shoplifting dropped by 71.4%, from seven to two incidents, likely linked to targeted policing efforts or reduced foot traffic during the month. The 100% increase in public order offences, from zero to one incident, highlights the unpredictable nature of such crimes, which can escalate quickly in densely populated areas.

Selston's crime rate in November 2025 dropped to 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a 25.6% decrease from the previous month’s 5.4. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in smaller built-up areas during late autumn, where seasonal factors may reduce certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded one crime per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the relatively small population of 6,489. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 250 residents, illustrating the sparse nature of incidents in this community. When contextualised against the UK average, Selston’s crime rate remains significantly lower, but the monthly exposure metric offers a tangible sense of risk for residents. This statistic is particularly useful for understanding how infrequent crime is in a local context, reinforcing the area’s safety profile compared to larger urban centres.
