Odiham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Odiham's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 27.8% of the 18 total reported crimes. This category, which includes assault and sexual offences, remains 65% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, despite a 28.6% month-on-month decrease from seven to five incidents. The area's crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents is 54.8% below the national average, a position reinforced by consistently low rates across multiple categories. Anti-social behaviour, at five incidents (27.8% of total crimes), continues to be a significant concern, though it remains 15% below the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and Black Friday shopping, may contribute to increased anti-social behaviour and other theft. Other theft, which rose sharply by 100% to four incidents, now exceeds the UK average by 37%, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in unlicensed premises or vehicle security. The low overall rate, combined with specific category trends, illustrates a community that remains relatively safe but requires targeted attention to emerging patterns. The built-up nature of Odiham, with its mix of residential and commercial areas, may explain the balance between property-related crimes and more personal offences, though the exact interplay between local demographics and crime patterns remains to be fully understood.

November 2025 saw a sharp 100% rise in other theft, with four incidents reported compared to zero in October. This category, which includes theft from vehicles and unlicensed premises, now accounts for 22.2% of total crimes. Anti-social behaviour also surged to five incidents, a 100% increase from the previous month, despite remaining 15% below the UK average. Meanwhile, burglary dropped by 75% to one incident, the lowest monthly figure since at least 2023. Violence and sexual offences decreased by 28.6% to five incidents, though this rate remains 65% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The most significant UK comparison occurs in other theft, which is 37% above the national average of 0.5 per 1,000. Residents may find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a shift in local dynamics during the busy holiday season.

Odiham's crime rate in November 2025 rose 28.4% compared to October, moving from 2.6 to 3.3 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though notable, remains well below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 0.6 incidents per day over the month, a figure that provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 303 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the UK's broader context, Odiham's position as a low-crime community is reinforced by its consistent performance across multiple categories, including a 62% below average rate for criminal damage and arson. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with the month-on-month increase, the area's crime profile remains significantly safer than the national average, with only 18 total crimes reported to police in a community of 5,455 people.
