Anstey Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Anstey in November 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property-related offences, shaped by both local characteristics and seasonal factors. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime mix, accounting for 37.1% of all reported incidents, a figure that is 34% below the UK average for this category. This suggests a relatively safer environment for violent crimes compared to national trends, though the absolute number of 13 cases remains a concern for local communities. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, contributing 20% of crimes, with its 15% deficit against the UK average pointing to effective community policing or lower social tensions in the area. The seasonal context of November—marked by darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and the onset of Black Friday shopping—may partly explain the elevated share of violent crimes, as reduced visibility and increased foot traffic in retail areas can create conditions conducive to such incidents. Property crimes, while lower in proportion (violence accounts for 37.1% versus property crimes at 31.4%), show a more nuanced picture: shoplifting fell by 80% compared to the previous month, likely due to the timing of Black Friday sales, while theft from the person rose sharply. This divergence highlights the influence of specific events on different crime types, with the latter category's 87% above-UK-average rate indicating a need for targeted interventions. The overall crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents, 37% below the UK average, underscores Anstey's position as a relatively low-risk area, though the concentration of violent offences necessitates continued attention to community safety measures.

November 2025 saw a stark shift in crime patterns, with theft from the person surging by 100% compared to the previous month, a jump that places this category 87% above the UK average. This increase may reflect heightened retail activity during Black Friday, though the absence of a corresponding rise in shoplifting (which fell by 80%) suggests targeted rather than opportunistic theft. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences both decreased, with the former dropping by 36.4%—a trend consistent with the quieter pace of late autumn in a built-up area. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, contributing 37.1% of all crimes. This mix of rising and falling categories highlights the combination of seasonal events and local dynamics, with the sharp increase in theft from the person offering a tangible concern for residents engaging in holiday shopping.

Anstey's crime rate in November 2025 (4.6 per 1,000 residents) marks a 32.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in built-up areas during late autumn, where reduced foot traffic and seasonal events may temporarily lower certain crime types. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of one crime per day, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate compared to national averages. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure of 1-in-220 residents experiencing a crime illustrates a manageable risk level for Anstey's 7,684 residents. This context contrasts sharply with the UK average, where the same proportion of residents would face a significantly higher frequency of crime. The reduction in anti-social behaviour and shoplifting, combined with the rise in theft from the person, suggests shifting patterns that may correlate with seasonal factors like Black Friday shopping activity or altered community interactions during darker evenings.
