Wendover Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wendover’s November 2025 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents places it 74% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area’s consistently low crime profile. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 42.9% of all incidents, followed by other theft (23.8%) and anti-social behaviour (9.5%). These figures align with the area’s character as a largely rural built-up area within Buckinghamshire, where community cohesion and lower population density may contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. Seasonal factors in November, such as the approach of Bonfire Night and the peak of Black Friday shopping, could have influenced patterns in retail-related offences, though shoplifting incidents fell sharply compared to previous months. The low rate of violent crime, particularly in a region with limited nightlife or high-density housing, suggests that Wendover’s social and geographic dynamics likely play a role in maintaining safety. While the overall crime rate remains stable, the absence of significant spikes in property crime or public order offences indicates a balanced, if not declining, criminal landscape.

November 2025 saw a stark shift in Wendover’s crime profile, with shoplifting incidents plummeting by 80% compared to October, from five to one. This decline may be attributed to the timing of Black Friday shopping, which typically occurs in late November, potentially reducing opportunities for retail-related theft. Conversely, bicycle theft rose by 100%, with one incident reported in November compared to none in October. This increase could reflect heightened visibility of bikes during darker evenings or seasonal travel patterns. Violent crimes, which accounted for 42.9% of all incidents, remained 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a statistic that highlights the area’s continued safety in this category. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 60%, from five to two incidents, suggesting a possible reduction in public disturbances during the month. These changes illustrate a dynamic but generally declining trend in crime, with specific categories showing marked fluctuations.

Wendover's November 2025 crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 36.2% decrease from the previous month’s 2.9 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained decline in reported incidents. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns in the area, where colder weather and shorter evenings may limit opportunities for outdoor crimes. On a daily basis, Wendover experienced approximately one reported crime every 30 days, a figure that contextualises the low level of criminal activity relative to its population. Over the course of the month, this translated to one reported crime for every 542 residents, a statistic that underscores the area’s relatively safe environment. When compared to the UK average, Wendover’s crime rate remains significantly lower, but this monthly exposure figure provides a tangible snapshot of risk for local residents. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the 16 recorded crimes in November, the likelihood of any individual encountering crime remains minimal, reinforcing the area’s status as a low-risk environment.
