Brundall Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Brundall in November 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with violent offences dominating the landscape. At 5.3 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area's overall rate is 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, suggesting a relatively safer environment compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences formed the largest share of reported crimes (40.7%), followed by anti-social behaviour (11.1%) and criminal damage and arson (11.1%). This mix indicates a focus on interpersonal and public disorder incidents, which may reflect local social dynamics or community characteristics. Seasonal factors in November—such as Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings—likely contribute to the prominence of certain offences. For instance, the lower shoplifting rate compared to the UK average (37% below) could be attributed to reduced retail activity in a smaller built-up area, while the spike in violence and sexual offences may correlate with increased social interactions during festive events. The relatively low property crime rate (9 out of 27 total crimes) contrasts with the UK average, which might suggest a lower concentration of high-value assets or more effective local prevention measures. However, the 471% increase in possession of weapons compared to the UK average (0.4 vs 0.1 per 1,000) raises questions about local enforcement or reporting patterns, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this. Overall, Brundall's crime mix appears to reflect a community where interpersonal conflicts and public order issues take precedence over property-related crimes, a pattern consistent with smaller, more tightly knit built-up areas.

November 2025 saw dramatic month-on-month changes in Brundall's crime profile. Violence and sexual offences surged by 266.7%, jumping from 3 to 11 incidents, a stark contrast to the 40.7% share of total crimes in the previous month. This spike may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which can heighten tensions in community spaces. Concurrently, other theft and possession of weapons both doubled from zero to two incidents, suggesting emerging patterns that warrant local attention. Conversely, shoplifting and public order offences declined significantly—by 50% and 33.3% respectively—possibly due to reduced foot traffic during Black Friday or improved policing efforts in retail zones. The crime mix also reveals notable UK comparisons: while violence and sexual offences are 14% below the national average (2.2 vs 2.6 per 1,000), possession of weapons is 471% above (0.4 vs 0.1 per 1,000), an anomaly that may reflect underreporting in other areas or specific local challenges. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.6 per 1,000, is 43% below the UK average, indicating stronger community cohesion or more effective local interventions. For residents, the 27.4% reduction in overall crime compared to the UK average offers reassurance, though the sharp rise in violence underscores the need for targeted measures to address interpersonal conflicts. The absence of vehicle crime above the UK average (0.4 vs 0.4 per 1,000) suggests that local infrastructure or parking arrangements may not be significant contributors to this category.

Brundall's crime rate in November 2025 (5.3 per 1,000) represents a 59.0% increase from the previous month's rate of 3.3 per 1,000, highlighting a significant upward trend in reported incidents. This rise, however, still leaves the area 27.4% below the UK average, placing it among the safer built-up areas in the country. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day in November, a figure that, while low, has increased from the previous month's pace. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 188 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average, which would likely be higher given Brundall's overall rate. This statistic provides a tangible measure for residents: for every 188 people in the community, one crime was recorded during November, a figure that, when contextualised with the area's population of 5,088, suggests a relatively low level of individual risk. The 59% increase from October to November, however, signals a shift that may be linked to seasonal factors such as extended evenings and increased social gatherings. While the area's crime rate remains below the national average, the upward trend from October to November raises questions about whether this reflects a genuine increase in incidents or changes in reporting practices. For context, the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 would translate to roughly one crime per 137 residents in Brundall's population, meaning the area's rate is significantly lower than what would be expected nationally. This comparison underscores the importance of local factors—such as community policing, social cohesion, or environmental design—in shaping Brundall's crime profile, even as the area experiences a month-on-month rise in incidents.
