Calverton Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Calverton during September 2025 reveals a distinct profile shaped by the built-up area's characteristics and seasonal dynamics. With an overall crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents—28.4% below the UK average—the area's profile is marked by a balance between violent and non-violent offences. Violence and sexual offences (41% of total crimes) dominate, followed by anti-social behaviour (18%) and criminal damage and arson (12.8%). This distribution suggests a combination of factors, including the area's infrastructure and the transition into the academic year. The lower-than-average rates for violence and sexual offences (15% below UK average) may reflect the influence of returning students and community-focused initiatives. Conversely, the higher rate for criminal damage and arson (32% above UK average) could be linked to seasonal maintenance patterns or weather-related activities. Anti-social behaviour, which accounts for 18% of crimes, is also 15% below the UK average, indicating effective local management of public order issues. The seasonal context of September—marked by the start of the academic year and the transition into cooler weather—likely contributes to these patterns, though the exact mechanisms remain to be explored. This balance of crime types illustrates a community where violent crime is lower than national benchmarks, but property-related and disorderly offences require continued attention.

September 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 46.7% compared to the previous month, likely reflecting the return of students and the start of the academic year. Conversely, criminal damage and arson rose by 66.7%, potentially linked to seasonal weather changes or increased property maintenance activity. Other crime and theft from the person both doubled, indicating a shift in the balance of non-violent offences. The area's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.2 per 1,000) was 15% below the UK average, while criminal damage and arson (0.7 per 1,000) was 32% above. These variations underscore the need for targeted local responses, with residents advised to monitor specific categories like 'other crime' which saw a 100% increase. The daily crime count of one per day offers a tangible metric for assessing local safety trends.

Calverton's crime rate in September 2025 fell by 25.0% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.1 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the start of the academic year, a period when population movements and routines shift. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may help residents contextualise local safety. When scaled to the population of 7,345, the monthly exposure rate indicates that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 188 residents. This is a monthly aggregate, not a daily frequency, and does not compare directly to UK-wide figures. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate remains below the UK average, the distribution of crime types suggests a unique local profile shaped by factors such as the built-up area's infrastructure and seasonal transitions.
