Borrowash Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Borrowash's November 2025 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents places the area 46.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a figure that underscores its relative safety compared to national trends. The crime profile reveals a significant dominance of violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 64.3% of all reported crimes, with 18 incidents recorded. This category, while still slightly below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 (Borrowash: 2.5 per 1,000), highlights the persistent challenge of addressing personal safety in the built-up area. Property crimes, though fewer in number, showed a 200% increase in burglaries, rising from one to three incidents, a shift that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the dark evenings of November and the heightened retail activity associated with Black Friday. The overall crime mix, with violent offences comprising 64.3% of the total, contrasts with the UK average where property crimes typically dominate. This divergence could reflect local characteristics, such as the social dynamics of a built-up area within Erewash, where community interactions and urban density may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of November, with its Bonfire Night celebrations and the transition to darker evenings, likely plays a role in the increased prevalence of violent incidents, which may be exacerbated by the concentrated population of Borrowash. While the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average, the month-on-month increase and shifts in crime types necessitate a nuanced approach to local policing and community engagement to address emerging patterns.

November 2025 saw a 200% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to three incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000 (Borrowash's rate: 0.4 per 1,000), suggests potential vulnerabilities in local property security. Other crime and drug-related offences both doubled from zero to two and one respectively, marking a stark shift in the crime mix. Violence and sexual offences remained 3% below the UK average at 2.5 per 1,000, a figure that may reflect local policing efforts or community dynamics. The balance of violent crimes (64.3% of total) over property crimes (35.7%) indicates a shift in criminal activity, with violent offences dominating the landscape despite the overall rate remaining well below national levels. These changes highlight the importance of targeted interventions in areas experiencing sudden spikes, such as the rise in burglary which may be linked to seasonal factors like increased retail activity during Black Friday.

Borrowash's November 2025 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 47.3% increase from the previous month's rate of 2.6 per 1,000, reflecting a notable upward trend. This rise, though still significantly below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscores the need for continued vigilance. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 257 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure to crime for local households. This translates to roughly one crime per day across Borrowash's population of 7,207, a pace that, while low by national standards, shows a shift in local patterns. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a 1-in-257 chance of experiencing a reported crime within the month, a statistic that, while manageable, highlights the importance of community engagement in maintaining safety. Comparisons to the UK average further illustrate Borrowash's relative security, with its overall rate remaining 46.6% below the national figure despite the month-on-month increase.
