Calverton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Calverton's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 50.8% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 8.6 per 1,000 residents, the area exceeds the UK average by 17.8%, a significant divergence that highlights local challenges. The breakdown reveals a stark imbalance in crime types, with 32 violent crimes reported—nearly double the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson follow closely, contributing 14.3% each to the total. These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of November, when extended darkness and events like Bonfire Night may contribute to heightened tensions. Black Friday shopping, which often draws crowds to retail areas, could also influence the spike in anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. The area's built-up character within Gedling likely amplifies interactions in public spaces, creating environments where such crimes are more prevalent. While property crimes remain relatively low (15 incidents), the sharp rise in violent offences suggests a need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones. The data underscores the importance of understanding how local factors—such as lighting, public transport access, and community engagement—interact with broader crime trends to shape outcomes.

November 2025 saw a dramatic surge in criminal damage and arson, which increased by 350% compared to October, rising from 2 to 9 incidents. This jump, coupled with a 166.7% rise in violence and sexual offences (from 12 to 32), indicates a significant shift in the crime profile. The category of public order offences also doubled, with four incidents reported—marking the first recorded cases in the previous month. These trends place Calverton's violent crime rate 71% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, while criminal damage and arson are 126% above the national benchmark. Other theft remains 22% below the UK average, suggesting a contrast in crime patterns compared to other areas. For residents, the daily crime count of approximately two incidents per day serves as a tangible measure of local risk, emphasizing the need for community vigilance. The sharp increase in violent crimes may partly explain the elevated UK comparison figures, though the exact drivers require further analysis. The absence of significant changes in property crime—such as vehicle theft or burglary—highlights the divergence between violent and non-violent crime trends in the area.

Calverton's crime rate in November 2025 (8.6 per 1,000 residents) represents a 142.4% increase compared to October's rate of 3.5 per 1,000, underscoring a sharp upward trajectory. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualizes the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 117 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while not extreme, reflects the cumulative impact of the rise in violent offences. Given Calverton's population of 7,345, this translates to a tangible presence of crime in everyday life, particularly in areas where violent incidents and anti-social behaviour are concentrated. The comparison to the UK average also reveals stark contrasts: while the national rate for criminal damage and arson is 0.5 per 1,000, Calverton's rate is 1.2 per 1,000, a 126% deviation. This divergence highlights the area's unique challenges, potentially linked to its built-up nature and seasonal factors like Bonfire Night. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that, despite the overall rate being 17.8% above the UK average, the most significant disparities exist in specific crime categories, which may warrant localized strategies for mitigation.
