Bordon Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,539 residents, Bordon’s 50 reported crimes in November 2023 equate to one incident for every 191 people, a rate 30.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure, while modest in absolute terms, highlights the town’s position as a relatively low-crime area within East Hampshire. The breakdown of crimes reveals a concentration in violent offences, which accounted for 54% of the total (27 incidents), with a rate of 2.8 per 1,000—8% above the UK average for this category. Public order offences, however, stood out as a significant outlier, with 10 incidents (2.8 per 1,000) compared to the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, indicating a 108% deviation from national norms. This stark contrast may be influenced by seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which typically sees spikes in disturbances, and the timing of Black Friday shopping, which could contribute to increased public order issues. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply, with only 2 incidents recorded—81% below the UK average—reflecting effective local policing or community initiatives. The overall crime profile suggests a combination of localized events and broader demographic trends, with Bordon’s built-up nature and lower population density likely contributing to its comparatively low rates. However, definitive causal links, and further analysis would be required to isolate these variables. The seasonal context of November, marked by shorter days and colder weather, may also have influenced the frequency of certain crimes, such as vehicle-related incidents, which fell by 66.7% from October. These patterns underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies to address emerging trends in the area.

November 2023 saw stark shifts in Bordon’s crime profile, with public order offences doubling compared to October, marking a 100% increase. This surge, which brought the category to 10 incidents (2.8 per 1,000), far outpaced the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, placing Bordon 108% above the national benchmark for this category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 85.7%, from 14 to 2 incidents, reflecting a marked reduction in such disturbances. The overall crime mix also shifted significantly: violent crimes (27, 54% of total) remained the dominant category, though their rate (2.8 per 1,000) was only 8% above the UK average, indicating a relatively balanced profile for this type. Meanwhile, vehicle crime and burglary both fell sharply—by 66.7% and 75% respectively—suggesting possible improvements in local security measures or seasonal factors, such as reduced outdoor activity during darker evenings. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of Bordon’s crime profile, with specific categories responding to local conditions in distinct ways.

Bordon’s November 2023 crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents marked a 16.7% decline from October’s 6.3 per 1,000, reflecting a stabilisation after earlier fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day—a figure consistent with local patterns but significantly lower than the UK average when scaled to population size. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 191 residents, a rate that underscores Bordon’s position as a below-average area for overall crime. This population-scaled perspective suggests that, despite localized spikes in specific categories, the town’s broader crime profile remains comparatively sparse. The built-up nature of Bordon within East Hampshire, characterised by lower population density and community cohesion, may influence these trends. However, definitive causal links, and further analysis would be required to isolate these variables. Seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night could also play a role in shaping monthly crime dynamics.
