Stapleford Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 15,354 residents, 99 crimes were reported in Stapleford during November 2025—a rate of 6.5 per 1,000 people, placing the area 11% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to approximately one crime for every 155 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises the scale of activity relative to the local population. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34 incidents (34.3% of total crimes), followed by shoplifting (9.1%) and public order offences (9.1%). These patterns align with November’s seasonal dynamics, including the darker evenings of late autumn and the peak of Black Friday shopping, which may have contributed to increased retail-related incidents. The violence rate of 2.2 per 1,000 in Stapleford is 14% below the UK average, suggesting a relatively safer environment for residents compared to national trends. However, public order offences in the area are 28% above the UK average, potentially reflecting the impact of seasonal events on local policing priorities and community interactions. The balance between property and violent crime remains skewed toward violence, with 34 violent crimes compared to 33 property crimes, a contrast to some urban centres where property crime dominates. This mix may be influenced by Stapleford’s character as a built-up area within Broxtowe, where community density and local amenities could shape the nature of reported incidents.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime types compared to October, with shoplifting cases tripling from 3 to 9 (+200%) and robbery incidents doubling from 1 to 3 (+200%). These increases coincide with the Black Friday shopping period, which may have drawn more foot traffic to local retailers and created opportunities for theft. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), likely due to reduced vehicle movement during the month or targeted police interventions. Public order offences also rose by 125%, reflecting the challenges of managing crowds during seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Stapleford’s performance against the UK average varied by category: while violence and sexual offences were 14% below the national rate, drugs-related crimes were 85% above the UK average, indicating a localised issue requiring further attention. Anti-social behaviour incidents decreased by 27.3% (from 11 to 8), possibly linked to proactive community engagement or seasonal shifts in social activity. For residents, the most immediate insight is the 34 violent crimes reported—equivalent to 2.2 per 1,000 people—highlighting the need for continued focus on community safety initiatives.

The crime rate in Stapleford rose by 25.2% from October 2025 (5.2 per 1,000) to November 2025 (6.5 per 1,000), marking a notable upward trend despite remaining below the UK average. This increase translates to roughly 3 crimes per day in November, a figure that, while relatively low, underscores the volatility of monthly crime patterns in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, 1 crime occurred for every 155 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average but may fluctuate with seasonal events. Stapleford’s population of 15,354 provides a critical context for interpreting these numbers: a rate of 6.5 per 1,000 equates to 99 total crimes, a manageable volume compared to larger urban areas but one that requires consistent policing and community engagement. The previous month’s rate of 5.2 per 1,000 suggests that November’s rise may be partly attributable to temporary factors, such as the timing of Black Friday or the impact of darker evenings on crime visibility. However, the long-term trend of Stapleford’s crime rate remaining below the UK average indicates a generally safer environment for residents, though the spikes in specific categories like public order and drugs-related offences warrant targeted analysis.
