Enfield Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Enfield, 9.4 crimes were reported in November 2025, placing the area 28.8% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime for every 10 residents over the course of the month, though this figure varies by crime type and location. The most common offences were violence and sexual offences (25.4% of total crimes), anti-social behaviour (21.7%), and vehicle crime (10.8%). These patterns may partly explain the seasonal context of November, which includes dark evenings, Black Friday shopping, and Bonfire Night events. While violence rates are 7% below the UK average, anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are significantly higher, with anti-social behaviour 89% above the national average and vehicle crime 150% above. The high prevalence of anti-social behaviour may be linked to the area's urban density and the concentration of retail and residential zones, which can amplify public disorder during peak shopping periods. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, could reflect the presence of commuter parking and high-value car ownership in the district. These factors illustrate how the crime rate translates into everyday risk, with residents in high-traffic areas likely facing more frequent exposure to property-related offences.

November 2025 saw a 47.4% increase in theft from the person, rising from 95 to 140 incidents. This surge, which is 150% above the UK average, suggests heightened vulnerability during Black Friday shopping and evening hours. Concurrently, burglary increased by 17.8% (163 to 192), a 100% jump above the UK average. These figures may reflect the combination of seasonal foot traffic and the timing of major sales events. In contrast, bicycle theft dropped by 59.1% (22 to 9), potentially due to reduced outdoor activity in colder weather. Possession of weapons also fell by 23.5% (17 to 13), a 100% decrease below the UK average, though this may be an anomaly or linked to temporary enforcement actions. The crime mix shows a stark contrast: property crimes (1278) account for 41.7% of all reported incidents, while violent crimes (779) make up 25.4%. This imbalance, with property crime rates 33% higher than the UK average, underscores the need for targeted measures in high-risk zones. A resident might find the 150% above UK average for theft from the person particularly relevant, as it highlights the need for personal vigilance during shopping events.

Enfield's November 2025 crime rate of 9.4 per 1,000 residents marked a 4.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 9.8 per 1,000, suggesting a slight short-term decline. However, this rate remains 28.8% above the UK average, indicating persistent challenges compared to the national profile. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 102 crimes per day, a figure that, while local-specific, provides context for the frequency of incidents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 107 residents, a monthly exposure that, while not daily, illustrates the cumulative risk for individuals living in the area. This exposure is higher than the UK average, which would see one crime for every 137 residents in a similar timeframe. The population context also matters: with 327,434 residents, Enfield's scale means that even minor shifts in crime rates can affect large numbers of people. For example, the 89% above UK average for anti-social behaviour translates to 666 incidents, a figure that, when divided by the population, highlights the disproportionate impact on local communities compared to the national average. These comparisons reinforce the need for targeted interventions in areas where Enfield's profile diverges significantly from the UK norm.
