Bordon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,539, Bordon recorded 87 crimes in November 2025, translating to a crime rate of 9.1 per 1,000 residents. This figure places the area 24.7% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a significant disparity that warrants attention. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (28.7% of total), anti-social behaviour (24.1%), and criminal damage and arson (9.2%). Seasonal factors in November—such as the darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and the start of Black Friday shopping—may have influenced these patterns. The high rate of anti-social behaviour, which was 108% above the UK average, suggests a need for targeted community interventions. Meanwhile, the relatively low rate of shoplifting (21% below the UK average) could indicate a shift in consumer behaviour. The balance between property and violent crimes appears uneven, with property-related offences (vehicle crime, criminal damage) showing marked increases, while violent crimes remained stable. This could reflect the area's characteristics, such as a mix of residential and commercial spaces that may contribute to property crime. However, the exact reasons for these trends require further analysis, as the data does not provide definitive causal links. The seasonal context of November—marked by events like Bonfire Night and the transition to darker evenings—may have played a role in shaping the crime profile.

November saw sharp increases in vehicle crime (+250%), drugs (+200%), and public order offences (+166.7%), while shoplifting fell by 54.5%. These shifts suggest a notable imbalance in crime types, with property-related offences (vehicle crime, criminal damage) rising sharply, while violent crimes (violence and sexual offences) remained stable. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 24.1% of all crimes, was 108% above the UK average, a stark contrast to shoplifting, which was 21% below the UK rate. The surge in vehicle crime may reflect increased traffic during Black Friday or heightened theft opportunities in parking areas. Residents might find the 250% rise in vehicle crime particularly concerning, as it indicates a rapid escalation in a specific category. The drop in shoplifting could be linked to fewer in-person shoppers during the pandemic.

Bordon's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 9.1 per 1,000 residents, a 61.1% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.7. This jump places the area 24.7% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Daily, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day, reflecting a localised spike in activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 110 residents, a figure that, while not extreme, underscores the need for community vigilance. The population-scaled perspective shows that 87 crimes in a town of nearly 9,500 residents equates to a significant proportion of the population being affected monthly. This context helps residents grasp the relative scale of crime in their immediate environment, particularly when compared to the broader UK average. The shift from October to November may also reflect seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which could influence local crime dynamics.
