Calverton Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, Calverton’s crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents stood 37.1% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, a figure that underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark imbalance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 43.8% of all reported incidents—nearly seven times the share of property crimes (6.3%). This dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences make up 26% of all crimes. The seasonal context of December, with its peak in Christmas shopping, party season, and prolonged dark evenings, likely contributes to this pattern. While the overall rate remains low, the prominence of violent crime suggests a need for targeted community engagement, particularly in areas where social gatherings and alcohol consumption may heighten tensions. Anti-social behaviour (1.0 per 1,000) and drugs (0.3 per 1,000) also feature prominently, though both are within or slightly above UK averages. The relatively low levels of vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) and public order offences (0.1 per 1,000) indicate that Calverton’s built-up environment may offer some natural deterrence to these types of crime. However, the surge in drug-related offences, which doubled from 0 to 2 incidents, highlights the need for continued monitoring of emerging trends. The area’s low crime rate, combined with its focus on violent crime, illustrates a community that is broadly safe but with specific vulnerabilities that warrant further attention.

December 2025 saw a 100% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 0 to 2 incidents, a stark contrast to the declines in other categories. Violent crimes accounted for 43.8% of total incidents, significantly outpacing property crimes (6.3%), a shift that may reflect seasonal patterns such as increased social gatherings during the festive period. Violence and sexual offences in Calverton (1.9 per 1,000) are 26% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (1.0 per 1,000) is 8% above the national rate. This mix highlights a combination of local factors and broader trends, with the area’s violent crime rate remaining lower than the UK average despite the surge in drug offences. The 77.8% drop in criminal damage and arson, from 9 to 2 incidents, aligns with seasonal patterns such as reduced outdoor activity during colder months.

Calverton’s December 2025 crime rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 49.2% drop from the previous month’s 8.6 per 1,000, reflecting a notable shift in local crime dynamics. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 230 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for residents in a way that aligns with broader population-scaled perspectives. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, underscoring Calverton’s relative safety compared to the national picture. Daily crime statistics show an average of one crime reported per day in December, a figure that, while low, remains consistent with the area’s historical patterns. The reduction in crime may be partly explained by seasonal factors, such as the closure of some retail outlets over the festive period. The contrast between the previous month’s elevated rate and December’s figures suggests a possible stabilisation in local policing efforts or community engagement initiatives, though direct causal links cannot be confirmed without further data.
