Great Glen Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Great Glen's November 2025 crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents marked a significant improvement compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, with the area recording 42.5% fewer crimes than the national figure. This performance, particularly in violent crime categories, underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community engagement efforts. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent crime type, accounting for 39.1% of all incidents, yet this rate was 38% below the UK average—a disparity that may reflect the area's relatively small population and lower population density compared to major urban centres. Other theft and burglary were the second and third most common categories, with the former showing a marked increase in November. Seasonal factors appear to influence these trends, as the timing of Black Friday shopping and the onset of darker evenings may have contributed to fluctuations in retail-related crimes. Despite these variations, the overall crime profile remains markedly safer than the UK average, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences both recording substantial decreases. This pattern is consistent with the built-up area's character, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity may contribute to lower crime rates compared to larger cities.

November saw a 200% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to three incidents. This surge, though small in absolute terms, reflects a significant shift in property crime trends. Other theft also rose sharply, with a 150% increase from two to five incidents, marking a stark contrast to the previous month's figures. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 66.7%, declining from three to one incident, a drop consistent with the broader decrease in anti-social behaviour and public order offences. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, contributing 39.1% of all crimes, yet this rate was 38% below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, with retail-focused offences like theft and burglary showing particular volatility in response to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping.

Great Glen's crime rate in November 2025 rose 14.8% from 3.6 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents compared to the previous month. This increase, though notable, still places the area 42.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day across the 30-day period, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 239 residents in November, illustrating the sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. While the rate has increased from October, the population-scaled perspective underscores that residents remain significantly less likely to experience crime compared to the national average. This context is crucial for residents assessing local safety, as the area's crime profile continues to diverge from broader UK trends.
