Bodicote Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The most dramatic shift in Bodicote's November 2025 crime picture was the 150% surge in violence and sexual offences compared to October, marking the largest single-category increase in the dataset. This rise, from two to five reported incidents, contrasts sharply with the overall crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, which remains 58.9% below the UK average of 7.3. The area's crime profile shows a distinct focus on property crimes (52.6% of total incidents), with other theft accounting for 31.6% of all reported crimes. This aligns with patterns typically seen in small built-up areas where retail spaces and community events may influence property crime trends. November's seasonal context—marked by Bonfire Night celebrations, Black Friday shopping, and increasingly dark evenings—likely contributes to the spike in violent incidents, as heightened pedestrian activity and reduced visibility create opportunities for crime. The area's low burglary rate (0.3 per 1,000) suggests that its rural character, with limited high-density housing, may naturally deter such crimes. However, the 96% increase in other theft compared to the UK average indicates a need for targeted measures in areas with higher foot traffic or retail presence. The data also highlights an unusual balance between violent and property crimes, with violence making up 26.3% of total incidents—a proportion significantly lower than the UK average for this category.

The most striking change in November 2025 was the 150% increase in violence and sexual offences, jumping from two to five incidents. This surge, while still low in absolute terms (0.8 per 1,000 residents), represents a stark departure from the area's usual pattern and may reflect increased social interactions during November events. The category's rate is 69% below the UK average, suggesting that Bodicote's built-up area status may offer some protective factors against violent crime compared to larger urban centres. Other notable shifts include a 100% increase in public order offences, which rose from zero to one incident, and a doubling of burglary cases. While burglary remains at the UK average rate (0.3 per 1,000), the increase may be linked to seasonal factors such as increased home occupancy during the holiday season. The area's other theft rate (1.0 per 1,000) is 96% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be explained by the presence of high-value retail spaces or community events attracting transient populations. Residents may find the 82% increase in robbery (from 0.1 to 0.2 per 1,000) particularly noteworthy, as this category is typically associated with high-traffic areas or events with significant footfall.

Bodicote's November 2025 crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents represents an 89.9% increase compared to the previous month's rate of 1.6 per 1,000, reflecting a significant upward trend over the past two months. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in November, a figure that, while low, shows a marked increase from the previous month's rate. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 333 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average but may be influenced by the area's small population and built-up character. When compared to the UK average, Bodicote's overall crime rate remains 58.9% below the national figure, highlighting its status as a relatively safe area despite the recent surge in specific categories. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, while the area's crime rate is low, the increase in violent and sexual offences may still be a concern for residents, particularly given the 150% month-on-month jump in this category. The comparison also shows that Bodicote's other theft rate is 96% above the UK average, a discrepancy that could be attributed to local factors such as the presence of small businesses or community events that attract higher foot traffic. These comparative statistics provide context for understanding how Bodicote's crime profile differs from the national average, with its unique combination of low overall rates and higher-than-average rates in specific categories.
