Long Eaton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Long Eaton, 7.6 crimes were reported in November 2025—a rate 4.1% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly 10 crimes per day, with one in every 131 residents experiencing a reported incident over the month. The crime profile highlights a stark contrast between violent and property crime: 38.8% of all crimes were violence and sexual offences, 18.6% were shoplifting, and 14.1% were anti-social behaviour. These patterns align with November's seasonal dynamics, where darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night may contribute to higher rates of public disorder and violence. Shoplifting, in particular, saw a dramatic surge—122% above the UK average—likely linked to Black Friday shopping activity. While violent crime remains the dominant category, property crime rates for vehicle theft and burglary are lower than national averages, possibly reflecting the area's more compact, built-up nature which may deter vehicle-related offences. The data suggests a combination of local retail activity, community dynamics, and seasonal factors, with implications for how residents perceive and experience risk in their daily lives.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends, with bicycle theft rising 100% from zero to one incident—a stark anomaly that may reflect increased cycling during darker evenings. Public order offences surged 38.9% month-on-month, potentially tied to Bonfire Night events and the transition into winter, which often sees more outdoor gatherings. Meanwhile, robbery and burglary both fell sharply, with robbery dropping 85.7% (from seven to one incident) and burglary decreasing 50% (from six to three). These declines may indicate effective policing during peak shopping periods or a seasonal reduction in opportunities for such crimes. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, 17% above the UK average, with 113 incidents reported. This suggests that local factors—such as the area's built-up character and potential for late-night activity—continue to shape violent crime patterns. The sharp contrast between shoplifting's 122% above UK average and vehicle crime's 50% below highlights the area's unique exposure to retail-focused crime, driven by high street activity and Black Friday sales.

The crime rate in November 2025 (7.6 per 1,000) marked a 7.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.2 per 1,000, indicating a short-term downward trend. Over the course of the month, this translated to one reported crime for every 131 residents—a figure that, while slightly above the UK average, is manageable for a built-up area with a population of 38,186. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 10 crimes per day, a rate that residents might contextualise as relatively routine but still worth noting for those concerned about personal safety. The drop from 8.2 to 7.6 per 1,000 suggests that efforts to address crime in the area may have had some impact, though the rate remains marginally higher than the UK average. This comparison is particularly relevant for residents considering local safety relative to national benchmarks, as it highlights both the area's specific challenges and its alignment with broader trends. For instance, while shoplifting is significantly above the UK average, other categories like burglary and vehicle crime are well below, reflecting the area's distinct socio-economic and spatial characteristics.
