Kelvedon and Feering Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kelvedon and Feering's crime profile in November 2025 continues to diverge sharply from the UK average, with an overall rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents—56.2% below the national figure of 7.3. This discrepancy underscores the area's distinct characteristics as a built-up district within Braintree, where urban density may moderate certain crime types while amplifying others. The most prominent category, violence and sexual offences, accounted for 58.8% of all recorded crimes, yet its rate of 1.9 per 1,000 remains 26% below the UK average. This relative safety in violent crime may be attributed to the area's proximity to rural surroundings, which could limit opportunities for high-risk interactions. Meanwhile, property crimes—comprising vehicle crime, burglary, and other theft—accounted for 41.2% of incidents, with vehicle crime surging in November. Seasonal factors likely play a role, as darker evenings and Bonfire Night events may have influenced patterns of criminal activity. The month also coincided with Black Friday shopping, which could have contributed to increased vehicle-related crimes. However, the absence of significant spikes in theft from the person or burglary suggests that local infrastructure, such as secure parking and community policing, may be effective in mitigating certain risks. This snapshot of November's crime data illustrates a combination of geographic factors, seasonal rhythms, and the area's unique position within Braintree's broader landscape.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in vehicle crime, rising from one incident to three. This surge, while significant, remains below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 for the category. Conversely, other theft and public order offences both fell sharply—by 66.7% and 50% respectively—suggesting a shift in criminal focus during the month. The area's violent crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000.8% of total crimes, is 26% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. This contrast with the UK's higher violent crime rates may reflect local dynamics, such as the area's built-up nature within Braintree, which could limit opportunities for more serious offences. The absence of burglary and criminal damage incidents in October prior to their November occurrences hints at seasonal patterns, influenced by darker evenings and Bonfire Night activities.

Kelvedon and Feering's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, a 22.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.2 per 1,000. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained period of lower-than-national crime levels. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 311 residents, illustrating a low monthly exposure relative to the population. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per 30 days, a figure that contextualises the pace of criminal activity in a localised timeframe. When compared to the UK's broader crime profile, Kelvedon and Feering's statistics highlight a marked divergence, particularly in violent crime categories where the area's rate of 1.9 per 1,000 is 26% below the national average for violence and sexual offences. This contrast suggests a combination of local factors—such as the area's built-up character within Braintree and its proximity to rural surroundings—that may contribute to the observed patterns.
