Queensbury Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Queensbury’s crime profile in November 2025 reveals a clear dominance of violent crime over property-related offences, a trend that may reflect the area’s social dynamics and seasonal influences. With a total of 77 crimes reported, the area’s overall crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents places it 8.2% below the UK average of 7.3. This relative safety is not evenly distributed across crime categories, however. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 59.7% of all incidents—surpassed the UK average by 56%, a striking disparity that may be linked to the area’s urban density and the social interactions that accompany it. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime, occurred at a rate 34% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or lower prevalence of disruptive conduct in local neighbourhoods. The seasonal context of November—marked by the darkening evenings, Bonfire Night, and the commercial frenzy of Black Friday—may have contributed to the surge in violent crime. The low rate of vehicle crime, matching the UK average, and the marked decline in criminal damage and arson hint at a broader pattern of reduced outdoor activity and heightened public awareness during this time of year. These trends, while informative, require further analysis to determine whether they represent short-term fluctuations or longer-term shifts in the area’s crime ecology.

The month-on-month data reveals a stark contrast between rising violent crime and declining property-related offences. Violence and sexual offences surged by 27.8%, increasing from 36 to 46 incidents, while property crimes remained at 13, a relatively stable figure compared to the previous month. This shift underscores a growing imbalance in the crime mix, with violent crime now accounting for 59.7% of all reported incidents—significantly higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 for this category. Possession of weapons saw a 100% increase, rising from 0 to 1 incident, a figure that may reflect seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night or heightened tensions in public spaces. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 62.5%, likely influenced by the end of the Halloween season and reduced outdoor activity as evenings grew darker. These fluctuations highlight the complex relationship between local events and crime patterns.

Queensbury's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 12.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.6. This downward trend suggests a potential stabilization in local crime patterns, though the monthly exposure figure—1 reported crime for every 150 residents—remains a critical measure for residents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a built-up urban environment. The population context further illustrates the scale: with 11,568 residents, the monthly total of 77 crimes equates to a manageable but non-trivial burden for local policing and community safety initiatives. These figures, when compared to the UK average, highlight Queensbury’s relative success in maintaining lower crime rates, though specific categories like violence and sexual offences remain high.
