Kelvedon and Feering Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Kelvedon and Feering during December 2025 reveals a balance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 36.4% of total incidents and vehicle crime contributing 13.6%. This distribution suggests a dual focus on interpersonal conflict and asset-related crime, a pattern consistent with a small urban area where community interactions and infrastructure use intersect. The area's overall crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents, 40% below the UK average, underscores its relative safety, though the seasonal context of December—with its long evenings, holiday gatherings, and retail activity—likely played a role in shaping these patterns. Violence and sexual offences, while lower than the UK average, remained the most frequently reported category, a trend that may reflect the area's demographic profile or the impact of seasonal events on social dynamics. Vehicle crime, though a smaller share of total incidents, was 62% above the UK average, potentially linked to local traffic patterns or the presence of high-traffic areas. The relatively low rates of burglary and anti-social behaviour, both below UK averages, suggest a community with strong social cohesion or effective local policing. The balance of crime types highlights a place where everyday interactions and infrastructure use drive most incidents, with no single category dominating the landscape.

December 2025 saw a 200% increase in 'other theft' incidents, rising from one to three reported cases. This spike, combined with a 100% rise in anti-social behaviour and possession of weapons, signals a notable shift in the area's crime mix. While violent crime decreased by 20% compared to November, the category still accounted for 36.4% of total incidents, remaining the most common type. Vehicle crime, at 13.6% of total crimes, was 62% above the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by the area's road infrastructure or parking patterns. The sharp rise in 'other theft'—a category that includes unclassified thefts—could indicate targeted activity or changes in policing focus. Residents may find the 200% increase in this category particularly relevant, as it suggests a need for heightened awareness during the festive season.

In December 2025, Kelvedon and Feering's crime rate rose to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 29.2% increase from the previous month's 3.2 per 1,000. This places the area's monthly exposure at one reported crime for every 240 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population of 5,286. Daily crime activity averaged approximately one incident per day across the 31-day period, reflecting a steady but low-level pattern of reported crime. Compared to the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, the area remains significantly safer, though the rise from November suggests seasonal factors may be influencing local dynamics. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the rate is low, the increase in certain categories, such as anti-social behaviour and other theft, warrants attention. This monthly aggregate shows that over the course of December, the area's residents experienced a manageable but noticeable level of crime, with no single category dominating the landscape.
