Brough Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brough’s crime rate in November 2025 stands at 1.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 74% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast reflects a community where the everyday risk of experiencing crime is exceptionally low. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 42.9% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.3%) and other theft (14.3%). These figures align with the area’s character as a relatively small, low-density built-up area where public spaces may be less frequented than in larger urban centres. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended darkness—likely influenced crime patterns. For instance, the spike in anti-social behaviour (up 100% from October) may be linked to increased social gatherings during darker evenings, while the 50% decline in violence and sexual offences could indicate a seasonal dip in certain types of activity. Brough’s violent crime rate of 0.8 per 1,000 is 69% below the UK average, and anti-social behaviour is 72% below the national rate, suggesting that local factors such as community engagement or environmental design may contribute to this disparity. The low levels of property crime, particularly the 0.3 per 1,000 rate for other theft compared to the UK average of 0.5, further reinforce that Brough’s crime profile is consistently lower than the national benchmark. These trends highlight a community where the likelihood of encountering crime is minimal, though the data does not provide insight into the underlying reasons for this divergence from the UK average.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour, other crime, and drugs all doubling compared to the previous month. This increase, though not statistically significant in absolute terms, suggests potential seasonal influences such as Bonfire Night or heightened social activity during darker evenings. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 50% from October’s figure of 24 to 12, a decrease that may reflect a seasonal lull or targeted local interventions. Violent crime in Brough remains 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, with anti-social behaviour at 0.3 per 1,000—72% below the UK rate. Other theft also lags behind the UK average, at 0.3 per 1,000 compared to the national 0.5. These figures illustrate a consistent trend of lower violent and property crime rates, even as the mix of reported offences evolves slightly. For residents, the 74% deficit to the UK average translates to a daily risk that is far less frequent than in most parts of the country.

In November 2025, Brough’s crime rate fell to 1.9 per 1,000 residents, a 36.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.9. This drop places the area significantly below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with the overall rate 74% lower than the national figure. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, reflecting a generally low level of criminal activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 540 residents, highlighting that the likelihood of being directly affected by crime remains minimal for most residents. This population-scaled perspective underscores that Brough’s crime profile is distinct from the UK average, with violent and property crimes concentrated at levels far below national benchmarks. The area’s small population and low crime volume suggest that local factors—such as community cohesion or limited opportunities for crime—may contribute to this disparity from the data alone.
