Pocklington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Pocklington’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000, a figure that is 60.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s consistently low crime profile, which has been reinforced by a mix of crime types that deviate from national trends. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 37.5% of all crimes (12 incidents), yet this rate remains 57% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and extended dark evenings—may have influenced crime patterns, though the data suggests that community initiatives or local policing strategies have mitigated potential spikes. Public order offences (12.5%) and vehicle crime (12.5%) followed closely, with the latter’s rate matching the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.3 per 1,000, was 72% below the UK average, indicating a broader pattern of low-level disorder incidents. The overall crime mix reflects a balance between property and violent crimes, with property crimes (22 incidents) slightly outnumbering violent crimes (24 incidents). This equilibrium may be linked to Pocklington’s character as a built-up area within East Riding of Yorkshire, where urban planning and community engagement likely play a role in maintaining safety. However, the 25% above-average rate for other crime—a category that includes fraud and cyber offences—suggests that emerging threats may require closer monitoring.

November saw a 300% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This spike, though still low compared to the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, may reflect seasonal factors such as increased car usage during Black Friday shopping or changes in parking patterns. Conversely, violence and sexual offences dropped by 53.8%, from 26 to 12 incidents—a reduction that aligns with the area’s overall trend of being 57% below the UK average for this category. The breakdown also reveals a 200% rise in burglary, from 1 to 3 cases, which could be linked to holiday-related home security lapses. Other crime—such as fraud or cyber offences—doubled to 2 incidents, a category that is 25% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. This suggests a need for targeted awareness campaigns on emerging crime types that may be underreported or less visible in traditional policing metrics.

Pocklington's crime rate in November 2025 (2.9 per 1,000) reflects a 22.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000. This downward trend contrasts with the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s consistently lower crime profile. Daily crime data shows an average of one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of sustained community vigilance. When scaled to the population of 11,055, the monthly exposure equates to one crime occurring for roughly every 345 residents. This ratio is significantly lower than the UK average, which is not provided in the dataset. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that Pocklington remains a relatively safe area, with crime rates that are far below national benchmarks. However, the shift in crime types—such as the 300% increase in vehicle crime—warrants attention to emerging local patterns that may require targeted interventions.
