Enfield Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Enfield, 9.4 crimes were recorded in November 2025, placing the area 28.8% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This rate translates to one in every 107 residents experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month, a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the everyday reality of living in a densely populated urban area. The top crime types were violence and sexual offences (25.4% of total), anti-social behaviour (21.7%), and vehicle crime (10.8%). These patterns align with Enfield's character as a major urban district with a mix of residential, commercial, and transport hubs. The prominence of anti-social behaviour, which was 89% above the UK average, may be linked to the area's high population density and the challenges of managing public spaces in a rapidly growing community. Meanwhile, vehicle crime rates—150% above the UK average—suggest vulnerabilities in car parks, motorways, and other transport corridors. Seasonal factors in November, including darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to fluctuations in crime types, with theft from the person rising sharply and bicycle theft declining. These dynamics reflect the combination of local geography, demographics, and seasonal rhythms in shaping crime patterns.

November 2025 saw a 47.4% increase in theft from the person, rising from 95 to 140 incidents. This jump, potentially linked to Black Friday shopping and darker evenings, underscores a growing risk for residents and shoppers. Conversely, bicycle theft fell sharply by 59.1%, from 22 to 9 cases, a decline that may reflect improved security measures or seasonal inactivity in cycling. Anti-social behaviour remained a significant concern, with rates 89% above the UK average, and vehicle crime 150% above the national average—both figures pointing to persistent issues in public spaces and transport hubs. Violence and sexual offences in Enfield were 7% below the UK average, a divergence that may reflect local policing efforts or demographic factors. These contrasting trends highlight the need for targeted strategies to address specific crime types while maintaining progress in others.

Enfield's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 9.4 per 1,000 residents, a 4.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 9.8 per 1,000. This slight decline suggests a stabilization in crime trends following a peak in October. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 107 residents, a figure that contextualizes the monthly exposure for local households. With 3065 crimes recorded across 30 days, that equates to an average of 102 crimes per day—a daily reminder of the persistent presence of criminal activity in the area. When compared to the UK average, Enfield's rate remains elevated, but the month-on-month dip indicates potential shifts in policing strategies or seasonal factors influencing crime patterns. The local population of 327,434 means that the crime rate translates to a higher absolute number of incidents than smaller communities, underscoring the need for targeted interventions in densely populated areas.
