Worsbrough Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Worsbrough's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for nearly 30% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents, the area records a 39.7% increase over the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark divergence highlights a local pattern where interpersonal crime significantly outpaces national trends. The breakdown reveals that 29 incidents of violence and sexual offences occurred, a figure 21% above the UK average for this category. Burglary, at 12 incidents, is 333% higher than the UK average, suggesting vulnerabilities in property security that may be linked to the area’s built-up character and potential economic factors. Anti-social behaviour, at 10 incidents, is also 4% above the UK average, pointing to persistent community tensions or environmental factors contributing to disorder. Seasonal context plays a role: November’s darker evenings, coupled with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely contribute to increased opportunities for crime. While retail activity might typically drive shoplifting, the data shows only 7 incidents, 11% above the UK average—a more modest increase than expected. These patterns underscore the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas, particularly those with concentrated populations or limited surveillance.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime types, with other crime and drug-related incidents rising sharply. Other crime increased by 166.7% compared to October, jumping from 3 to 8 incidents, while drug-related offences surged by 150%, rising from 2 to 5. This spike in drug crimes may reflect heightened activity during the month’s darker evenings or seasonal gatherings. Bicycle theft, though a minor category, doubled from 0 to 1 incident, possibly linked to increased cycling during colder weather. Conversely, other theft dropped by 85.7% (7 to 1), and public order offences fell by 33.3% (6 to 4), suggesting a temporary reduction in disorderly conduct. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, declined by 27.5% (from 40 to 29), though they remain 21% above the UK average. This decrease may be influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter evenings or community initiatives, though the overall rate still indicates a pressing need for focused policing. The most alarming disparity is burglary, which is 333% above the UK average, highlighting a critical gap in property crime prevention that local authorities must address.

Worsbrough’s crime rate in November 2025 (10.2 per 1,000) represents a 7.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 11.1 per 1,000, indicating a short-term decline. However, this remains significantly higher than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 3 crimes per day over the month, a figure that translates to 1 reported crime for every 98 residents. This monthly exposure rate underscores the frequency of crime in a relatively small population, with implications for local safety and resource allocation. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime compared to the national average, particularly in property-related offences. While the month-on-month decline is encouraging, the persistent elevation above UK averages for categories like burglary and violence suggests systemic challenges. For example, burglary’s 333% disparity from the UK average may indicate vulnerabilities in housing stock or community oversight that require sustained attention. These figures should inform targeted strategies, such as enhanced lighting in high-risk areas or community engagement programs, to address the root causes of this elevated crime profile.
