Radlett Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 8,197, November 2025 saw 30 crimes reported, translating to a crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents—49.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure places Radlett among the safer built-up areas in the UK, a trend consistent with its suburban character within Hertsmere, where policing and community engagement may contribute to lower crime levels. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of the total (10 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (16.7%) and vehicle crime (16.7%). These figures suggest a balance between personal safety concerns and property-related issues, though both categories remain significantly below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and shorter daylight hours—may have influenced the crime profile. For instance, the sharp drop in shoplifting (from six to one incident) could be attributed to reduced foot traffic or heightened retail security during the post-Black Friday period. Conversely, the 100% increase in criminal damage and arson may be linked to Bonfire Night events, though this category still represents a small proportion of overall crimes. The data also highlights that vehicle crime, while not a major concern, is 50% above the UK average, reflecting local commuter patterns or parking vulnerabilities in the area. These trends underscore the interplay between seasonal activities and local demographics in shaping crime patterns, with Radlett’s relatively low overall rate indicating a combination of environmental factors and effective local policing.

November 2025 saw a sharp 83.3% decrease in shoplifting, with incidents falling from six to one—a drop that may reflect reduced foot traffic during Black Friday or increased retail security measures. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson rose by 100%, from two to four incidents, potentially linked to Bonfire Night activities. Violence and sexual offences also declined by 16.7%, though this category remains 53% below the UK average at 1.2 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, however, stood at 0.6 per 1,000—50% above the UK average—highlighting a localised concern for car-related incidents, tied to commuter parking patterns or increased vehicle thefts in residential areas. These shifts illustrate how seasonal events and community-specific factors can influence crime trends, with some categories fluctuating sharply while others maintain consistent performance relative to national benchmarks.

Radlett's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 3.7 per 1,000 residents, a 31.8% drop from the previous month’s rate of 5.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in similar suburban areas during late autumn, where seasonal factors such as shorter days and reduced outdoor activity may contribute to lower crime levels. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the course of November, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity. When scaled to the local population of 8,197, this equates to one crime occurring for every 273 residents during the month—a figure that underscores the relatively low exposure compared to the UK average. While this monthly aggregate provides context for residents, it is distinct from daily crime trends and should be interpreted alongside broader patterns, such as the notable reduction in shoplifting and burglary. The data also highlights that Radlett’s overall rate remains significantly below the UK average, with a 49.3% gap, suggesting a combination of local policing strategies and community dynamics that may play a role in maintaining this disparity.
