Goole Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Goole's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 9.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 26% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure underscores a persistent challenge for the area, though the breakdown of crime types reveals nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 43.9% of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Public order offences also spiked, reaching 11.2% of total crimes and 108% above the national average. These trends align with October's seasonal context, as darker evenings and Halloween events may contribute to increased public disorder. Anti-social behaviour, however, remained 37% below the UK average, suggesting effective community engagement strategies. The area's profile as a smaller built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire likely influences its crime patterns, with retail and public spaces serving as focal points for both violent and non-violent offences. While the overall rate remains elevated, the seasonal nature of certain crimes—particularly public order and anti-social behaviour—highlights the need for targeted interventions during periods of increased social activity.

Shoplifting in Goole fell by 50% in October 2025, with reported cases dropping from 28 to 14. This decline may reflect increased security measures or seasonal changes in retail activity. Conversely, drug-related crimes surged by 166.7%, rising from 3 to 8 incidents—a stark increase that could signal shifts in local drug markets or enforcement patterns. Public order offences also rose sharply, up 69.2% to 22 cases, placing Goole 108% above the UK average for this category. This spike coincides with Halloween events, which often see heightened public disorder. Anti-social behaviour remained 37% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or local initiatives in this area.

Goole's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 9.7 per 1,000 residents, a 4.9% increase from September's 9.2 per 1,000. This brings the monthly crime rate to 196 incidents over 31 days, averaging 6 crimes per day. When scaled to the local population of 20,320, this equates to one reported crime for every 104 residents during the month. While the increase is modest, it follows a seasonal pattern typical of October, with darker evenings and Halloween events potentially influencing public order and anti-social behaviour rates. The daily crime figure provides a tangible sense of local exposure, though it remains lower than the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Goole's crime profile, while elevated, is not extreme relative to national trends.
