Adwick le Street Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Adwick le Street, 11.3 crimes were reported in November 2025—54.8% higher than the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly 7 crimes for every 18,756 residents, with violent crimes forming the largest share of reported incidents. The area’s crime profile reflects a combination of seasonal factors and local demographics. November’s extended evenings and community events, such as Bonfire Night, likely contributed to an uptick in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime. Meanwhile, the concentration of violent offences—5.3 per 1,000, 106% above the UK average—suggests heightened tensions in public spaces, possibly exacerbated by the Black Friday shopping period drawing transient populations. Property crimes, though lower in proportion (32.7% of total), remained high compared to the UK average, with vehicle crime at 1.2 per 1,000, 200% above national levels. This may be linked to the area’s proximity to major transport routes and parking facilities, which attract opportunistic theft. The seasonal context of November—shorter days and colder weather—may have also influenced crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour and public order incidents rising in tandem with increased alcohol consumption during evening events. These figures highlight a need for targeted policing strategies during high-risk periods while addressing underlying factors such as community cohesion and infrastructure vulnerabilities.

November 2025 saw a 35.6% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 73 to 99 incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, which Adwick le Street exceeded by 106%. This surge coincides with the month’s extended evenings and community gatherings, which may have heightened opportunities for confrontations. Theft from the person and bicycle theft both doubled from zero to one incident each, a spike that could reflect the impact of seasonal shopping events drawing unfamiliar visitors to the area. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 55.6% (9 to 4), and other crime dropped by 54.5% (11 to 5), indicating the effectiveness of recent local initiatives or shifts in criminal activity. The breakdown of offences also reveals that vehicle crime remains a critical concern, with 22 incidents reported—1.2 per 1,000, 200% above the UK average. This suggests a need for enhanced vehicle security measures in residential and commercial zones. For residents, the most immediate concern is the 5.3 per 1,000 rate of violent offences, which underscores the importance of community vigilance and targeted policing during evenings and weekends.

In November 2025, Adwick le Street’s crime rate of 11.3 per 1,000 marked a 2.5% increase from October’s 11.0 per 1,000, reflecting a persistent challenge in crime management. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 7 crimes per day, a figure that, while seemingly abstract, translates to a tangible monthly exposure: over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 89 residents. This rate, though localised to Adwick le Street, highlights the need for residents to remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or during community events. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the area’s relatively small size (18,756 residents), the density of violent and property crimes creates a higher risk profile compared to the UK average. For instance, the 5.3 per 1,000 rate of violence and sexual offences is not just a statistical anomaly but a reflection of the area’s specific social dynamics, potentially influenced by its role as a commuter hub and the transient nature of its population. While the overall rate has risen slightly, the proportion of certain crimes—such as drug-related incidents—has decreased, suggesting that targeted interventions may have had some impact. However, the continued disparity in vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour rates compared to national benchmarks indicates that further measures are required to align Adwick le Street’s crime profile with broader UK trends.
