Calverton Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In October 2025, Calverton recorded a total of 26 crimes, yielding a crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents—54.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure places the area among the safer built-up regions in the UK, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour comprising the majority of incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 46.2% of all crimes (12 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (19.2%, 5 incidents) and other theft (11.5%, 3 incidents). The seasonal context of October, marked by darker evenings and Halloween, may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall reduction in violent crime compared to the previous month suggests a potential alignment with reduced social activity. The area's relatively low crime rate could be attributed to its smaller population size and lower foot traffic compared to larger urban centres. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.7 per 1,000) is 40% higher than Calverton's rate, indicating a consistent trend of lower violent crime in the area. While direct causal links, the seasonal transition from autumn to winter may have played a role in the month-on-month shifts, with Halloween-related activity contributing to a temporary increase in anti-social behaviour before a subsequent decline. The low rates of property crime, particularly burglary (0.1 per 1,000) and theft from the person (0.1 per 1,000), further reinforce the area's safety profile, though the 100% increase in burglary warrants monitoring for potential local factors.

The most significant month-on-month change in October 2025 was a 25% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which dropped from 16 to 12 incidents. This decline, coupled with a 60% reduction in criminal damage and arson (from 5 to 2), suggests a possible seasonal influence linked to shorter evenings and reduced outdoor activity. Conversely, burglary saw a 100% increase, rising from 0 to 1 incident, while other theft rose by 50% (from 2 to 3). These shifts highlight a combination of crime types, with property-related offences increasing despite an overall drop in the total crime rate. Calverton's violence rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents is 40% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, a disparity that could reflect the area's lower population density and potentially fewer high-traffic zones compared to larger urban centres. The 50% rise in other theft may signal increased vulnerability in residential areas during the darker evenings of October.

Calverton's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, a 33.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.3 per 1,000. This reduction places the area well below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, 26 total crimes were reported over 31 days, equating to roughly one crime per day. This frequency translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 283 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. The drop in violent crime by 25% compared to September 2025, alongside a 60% decline in criminal damage and arson, suggests a shift in crime patterns that warrants closer examination. These figures contrast with the UK's broader trends, where Calverton's rates for violence and anti-social behaviour remain lower than national averages, reinforcing the area's relatively safer profile despite the small number of reported crimes.
