Redruth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a significant rise in crime in Redruth, with an overall rate of 8.9 per 1,000 residents—21.9% above the UK average. This upward trend is particularly stark in violent crimes, which accounted for 41.5% of all incidents, and anti-social behaviour, which saw a 79% increase compared to the UK average. The month's crime profile reflects the seasonal pressures of November, including the transition to darker evenings, the timing of Bonfire Night, and the retail rush of Black Friday. Violence and sexual offences, the most common crime category, rose sharply to 44 incidents, a rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents. This category alone outpaced the UK average by 44%, highlighting a local imbalance in crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also saw significant increases, with the latter at 89% above the UK average. These trends may be linked to the area's character as a built-up area within Cornwall, where seasonal events and high-traffic periods can amplify tensions and opportunities for crime. The data suggests a growing challenge in managing public order and violent incidents, though the exact drivers of these shifts remain to be explored.

Violence and sexual offences surged to 44 incidents in November, a rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents—44% above the UK average. This category alone accounted for 41.5% of all crimes reported, marking a significant shift in the crime mix toward violent incidents. Other theft rose by 133.3% compared to the previous month, with seven incidents reported, reflecting potential spikes tied to Black Friday shopping activity. Meanwhile, shoplifting doubled from 2 to 4 incidents, a 100% increase that may be linked to the same seasonal pressures. Vehicle crime also rose by 100%, though this category remains well below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage saw steep increases, with the former at 79% above the UK average and the latter at 89% above. These trends suggest a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics from the data alone.

Redruth's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 8.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a 23.3% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.2. This shift places the area 21.9% above the UK average, a gap that has widened over recent months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 4 crimes per day, a figure that reflects both the month's extended darkness and the timing of high-traffic events like Black Friday. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 112 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. When scaled to the local context, this means that roughly 1 in 10 residents could have encountered or been affected by a crime during the month. The population context further highlights the significance of these figures, as the 11,916 residents of Redruth collectively face a higher-than-average burden of crime compared to the UK as a whole.
