Broadland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broadland's crime rate in November 2025 was 3.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 58.9% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national statistics highlights the area's distinct position within the broader UK crime profile. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (183 incidents, 43.9% of total crimes), criminal damage and arson (59 incidents, 14.2%), and public order offences (42 incidents, 10.1%). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal and property-related incidents, which may be influenced by local factors such as community dynamics and the presence of high-traffic areas. Seasonal context, including Bonfire Night and the onset of Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to fluctuations in certain crime categories. For instance, the increase in possession of weapons (150% from 2 to 5 incidents) could be tied to heightened vigilance around public events, while the drop in anti-social behaviour (42.9% decrease) might reflect community efforts to address disorder. The area's relatively low crime rate, despite its size, may be attributed to a combination of effective local policing, community engagement, and the absence of high-risk factors typically associated with urban centres. However, the presence of violent offences at a rate 49% below the UK average indicates that while Broadland is safer than the national average, targeted interventions may still be necessary to address specific challenges.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with possession of weapons increasing by 150% (from 2 to 5 incidents) and robbery doubling from 0 to 1. These increases, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened vigilance during events like Bonfire Night or the heightened awareness around Black Friday shopping. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 42.9% (from 63 to 36 incidents), a shift that could be linked to seasonal changes in community activity or the impact of local initiatives targeting public order. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, accounting for 43.9% of all incidents, a figure that is 49% below the UK average. This contrast with national trends suggests that Broadland's demographic profile—influenced by a mix of residential and commercial zones—shapes its unique crime patterns. For residents, the 42.9% decrease in anti-social behaviour offers a tangible example of how targeted interventions may yield measurable results.

Broadland's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 16.1% decrease from the previous month's 3.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in local policing reports, where seasonal factors and community engagement initiatives may have contributed to reduced incidents. On a daily basis, Broadland experienced approximately 14 crimes per day in November, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low crime profile compared to the UK average. When considering the monthly exposure, 1 in 331 residents of Broadland reported a crime during November, a statistic that underscores the area's safety relative to national benchmarks. This monthly aggregate provides a clearer picture of how crime impacts the local population over time, rather than focusing on daily fluctuations. The population context further highlights that Broadland's crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, with a 58.9% gap, suggesting that local conditions—such as community policing strategies or demographic characteristics—play a role in maintaining lower crime levels.
