Crowthorne Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Crowthorne, the crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 in November 2025 translates to a daily risk of encountering crime that is significantly lower than the UK average. This figure, 50.7% below the national rate of 7.3 per 1,000, underscores the area's relative safety. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 33.3% of all reported incidents, though these remained 53% below the UK average. Public order offences followed, making up 18.5% of the total, a category that saw a sharp 100% increase compared to the previous month. This rise may be linked to the timing of Bonfire Night, which often brings large gatherings and associated disruptions. Vehicle crime, at 11.1% of total crimes, matched the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as parking patterns or traffic density may play a role. The seasonal context of November—dark evenings, Black Friday shopping, and Bonfire Night—likely influenced some of these trends, though the overall low crime rate indicates that Crowthorne's built-up area within Bracknell Forest maintains a generally secure environment. The combination of low violent crime, stable property crime rates, and seasonal events suggests that residents face minimal risk, even as temporary spikes in public order offences highlight the need for vigilance during specific times of the year.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in Crowthorne's crime profile. Burglary increased by 200%, rising from one to three incidents, a jump that may partly explain the heightened focus on property crime during the month. Public order offences also doubled, likely tied to Bonfire Night events, which typically bring crowds and heightened social interactions. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 68.8%, possibly due to increased community engagement or seasonal changes in activity patterns. Shoplifting, often associated with Black Friday shopping, decreased by 66.7%, a trend that contrasts with typical expectations. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 33.3% of all crimes, remained 53% below the UK average, suggesting that Crowthorne's built-up area may have lower levels of violent crime compared to other regions. These fluctuations highlight how local events and seasonal rhythms can shape crime patterns, even within a generally low-crime area.

Crowthorne's crime rate in November 2025 remained stable, declining slightly by 1.9% compared to the previous month's 3.7 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests that local factors—such as policing strategies or community initiatives—may have had a stabilising effect. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 14,839 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 275 residents, illustrating that the risk of encountering crime is relatively minimal in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Crowthorne's overall rate is 50.7% below the national figure, indicating that residents face a significantly lower risk of crime than the average UK citizen. This contrast is particularly notable given the area's proximity to Bracknell Forest, a region that typically sees higher crime rates in urban centres. The low daily crime count and monthly exposure figure reinforce the idea that Crowthorne is a relatively safe place to live, even as seasonal events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday could have temporarily influenced local crime dynamics.
