Bourne End Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences continue to drive the majority of reported crime in Bourne End, accounting for 45.5% of all incidents in November 2025. With a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, recording a 58.9% deficit. This stark contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives, though the persistent focus on violent crime suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining public safety. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—may have influenced crime patterns, with potential links to increased alcohol consumption during festivities or heightened retail security measures. While property crimes such as shoplifting and vehicle crime remained well below UK averages, the dominance of violent crime highlights the need for targeted interventions. The area’s character as a built-up part of Buckinghamshire, likely with a mix of residential and commercial spaces, may contribute to the concentration of violent incidents in public areas. However, the overall low crime rate compared to national benchmarks indicates that Bourne End’s environment and community dynamics are generally conducive to safety, though localized efforts to address violent crime remain critical.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in robbery cases, rising from 0 to 1, while anti-social behaviour and 'other crime' categories also doubled compared to the previous month. This shift contrasts with a 16.7% reduction in violence and sexual offences, which remained the dominant category at 45.5% of all crimes. The drugs category fell 50% from 4 to 2, though it still exceeded the UK average by 11%. 'other theft' decreased by 33.3%, potentially linked to seasonal factors such as reduced foot traffic during Black Friday or altered retail patterns. Meanwhile, bicycle theft rose 67% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect increased local cycling activity or targeted theft in specific areas. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in the area, with some categories responding directly to monthly rhythms and others to broader societal trends.

Bourne End's crime rate in November 2025 dropped 4.2% compared to October 2025, falling from 3.1 to 3.0 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the broader trend of sustained safety in the area, though the monthly figure remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a rate that would equate to a 1-in-338 chance of encountering a reported crime for any resident over the course of the month. When scaled to population size, this suggests a relatively low exposure to crime compared to both national benchmarks and the area’s own historical trends. The drop in violent crime by 16.7% may reflect seasonal factors, as November’s darker evenings and holiday-related activities could have influenced reporting patterns or deterred certain types of incidents. However, the rise in anti-social behaviour and robbery suggests localized pressures that require further attention.
