St Blazey Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences emerged as the dominant crime category in St Blazey during November 2025, accounting for 54.3% of all reported crimes. With 19 incidents recorded, this category significantly outpaced other types, such as anti-social behaviour (7 cases) and property crimes (5 cases). The overall crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents marked a 31.5% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.3, underscoring St Blazey’s relatively safe environment. However, the prevalence of violent crime raises questions about local factors, such as the impact of seasonal events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday. These events, which bring increased foot traffic and social interaction, may contribute to higher rates of violence and public order offences, even as other categories like anti-social behaviour and shoplifting remain well below national averages. The low rate of property crimes (5 total) suggests that St Blazey’s built-up area, possibly characterized by a mix of residential and commercial spaces, may have effective security measures or community engagement strategies. Seasonal context further complicates the picture: the dark evenings of November, combined with the anticipation of Christmas shopping, may heighten tensions or create opportunities for crime. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the concentration of violent crime highlights the need for targeted interventions, such as community policing or public awareness campaigns. The breakdown also shows that categories like shoplifting and vehicle crime are significantly below the UK average, reflecting the area’s unique demographics or geographic isolation. These findings illustrate a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, with St Blazey’s crime profile shaped by both seasonal rhythms and community-specific factors.

November 2025 saw a 26.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 15 to 19 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in public order and vehicle crime, signals a shift in the crime mix, with violent crimes now dominating the profile. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 12.5%, reflecting a decline in disturbances. Violence and sexual offences in St Blazey are 5% above the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), while anti-social behaviour is 6% below (1.1 per 1,000). This divergence suggests local factors, such as seasonal events like Bonfire Night, may amplify violent crime. Meanwhile, categories like criminal damage and arson dropped sharply by 88.9%, possibly due to reduced public gatherings or heightened awareness. Residents may find the 100% increase in vehicle crime (from 0 to 1 incident) particularly relevant, as it highlights the need for vigilance in parking areas. These fluctuations illustrate the dynamic nature of crime in the area, with certain categories showing stark contrasts to national trends.

St Blazey’s crime rate in November 2025 fell to 5.0 per 1,000 residents, an 18.6% decrease from the previous month’s 6.2 per 1,000. This decline suggests a continued trend of reduced criminal activity in the area. On a daily basis, one crime was reported for every 30 days, translating to approximately one incident per day. Over the course of the month, this equates to one reported crime for roughly every 199 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of crime compared to the UK average. The population context further underscores that, despite local fluctuations, the overall safety profile of St Blazey remains distinct from national trends. While the rate is significantly below the UK average, the month-on-month drop reflects potential local factors, such as seasonal changes or community initiatives, though no specific data points confirm this. The comparison to the UK average is limited to the overall rate, as per-category UK figures are not available for all categories. This monthly exposure metric provides residents with a tangible understanding of how often crime occurs within their community, offering reassurance that the area remains safer than the national average.
