Buckley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Buckley, 4.7 crimes were reported in November 2025, placing the area 35.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for roughly every 215 residents, a statistic that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50.8% of all incidents (33 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.9%) and criminal damage and arson (10.8%). These figures highlight a local profile where interpersonal conflicts and property-related issues dominate, a pattern consistent with smaller built-up areas where community dynamics and local infrastructure may influence crime trends. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the onset of darker evenings likely contributed to the fluctuations observed, with criminal damage and arson rising sharply by 133.3% compared to the previous month. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (43% below UK) and vehicle crime (75% below UK) suggest that local efforts—whether through policing, community initiatives, or environmental design—may be effectively mitigating certain types of crime. However, the 87% gap in 'other crime' above the UK average indicates a specific challenge requiring targeted attention. This data illustrates the combination of local conditions and national trends, offering both reassurance and a call for sustained engagement in maintaining Buckley’s relatively low crime profile.

November 2025 saw a notable 13.2% decrease in violent crimes, dropping from 38 to 33, a shift that may partly explain the overall reduction in the area’s crime rate. Conversely, criminal damage and arson surged by 133.3%, rising from three to seven incidents, a sharp increase that stands out against the broader trend. This uptick may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which typically sees spikes in property-related offences. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 43.8%, declining from 16 to 9, reflecting a reduction in public gatherings as the month progressed. Meanwhile, the category of 'other crime' remained 87% above the UK average, a disparity that highlights a unique local challenge not seen nationally. For residents, the most immediate takeaway is the 35.6% gap between Buckley’s crime rate and the UK average—a figure that, while encouraging, requires sustained attention to avoid regression.

Buckley’s November 2025 crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents marked an 8.5% decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.1, reflecting a continued downward trend. This reduction aligns with a local context where daily crime activity averaged two incidents per day, a figure that, while modest, remains a tangible reminder of the risks faced by residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 215 residents, a metric that contextualises the scale of risk in a way that directly relates to the population. This monthly exposure figure, though low compared to national averages, underscores the importance of community vigilance and local policing efforts. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that Buckley’s crime rate is significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting that local factors—such as community engagement or specific policing strategies—may be contributing to this relative safety. However, the consistency of this lower rate must be monitored to ensure it is not a temporary anomaly.
