Shavington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Shavington's November 2025 crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents places it 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3, marking one of the safest periods in recent memory for the built-up area. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.5% of all reported incidents (six cases).3% decrease from the previous month. This drop is consistent with broader patterns observed in similar small towns, where seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced social activity may contribute to lower violent crime rates. Other crime, however, saw a sharp 100% increase from zero to three incidents, a category that is 212% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. This anomaly suggests either a temporary surge in unclassified crimes or a shift in reporting practices. The low overall rate is further reinforced by other categories such as burglary, criminal damage, and drugs, all of which remain significantly below national averages. November's seasonal context — including Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings — may have influenced these patterns, though the exact interplay between these factors and local crime trends remains to be fully understood. The area's low crime profile, despite the spike in 'other crime,' underscores the effectiveness of local policing or other community-level interventions that have kept Shavington's residents safer than the national average.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 100% increase in burglary and 'other crime' categories, with both rising from zero to one and three incidents respectively. This spike contrasts sharply with a 33.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from nine to six incidents — a rate 57% below the UK average. The rise in 'other crime' is particularly striking, as it is 212% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by two-thirds, and other theft dropped by half. The shift in crime mix highlights a notable divergence from national patterns, with Shavington's residents reporting fewer violent incidents but more non-violent, unspecified crimes. These fluctuations may be influenced by seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night or Black Friday. A resident might find the 100% increase in burglary particularly concerning, given the area's overall low crime profile.

Shavington's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a 30.5% decline from the previous month's 4.1 per 1,000. This marks a continued downward trend, though the area remains significantly safer than the UK average. On a daily basis, approximately one crime was reported in Shavington each day in November, a figure that reflects the area's low overall crime levels. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 354 residents — a monthly exposure rate that underscores the rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. With a population of 5,664, the local community experiences a crime rate that is 61.6% below the UK average, a gap that highlights the effectiveness of local policing or other factors contributing to the area's safety. The contrast between Shavington's statistics and national figures suggests a unique combination of socioeconomic conditions, policing strategies, or geographic characteristics that warrant further exploration.
