Glossop Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Glossop, 5 crimes were reported in November 2025 — a rate 31.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one reported crime for every 199 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (27 incidents, 29.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (19 cases) and public order offences (9 cases). These patterns align with the area's character as a built-up district within High Peak, where community interactions and local events may influence crime dynamics. November's shorter days and colder weather, combined with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to shifts in criminal activity. While violent crime remains the largest category, its rate of 1.5 per 1,000 is 42% below the UK average for this category, suggesting local factors may temper aggression or deterrence mechanisms are effective. The lower-than-average rates for shoplifting (37% below UK) and criminal damage (25% below) may reflect the area's smaller retail footprint or stronger community policing. However, anti-social behaviour slightly exceeds the UK average by 4%, linked to seasonal social gatherings or youth activity patterns. This data illustrates how crime rates in Glossop, while generally lower than national benchmarks, still reflect local rhythms and environmental conditions.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with a 400% increase in 'other crime' (from 1 to 5 incidents) and 100% rises in robbery and possession of weapons (both from 0 to 3). These spikes, though small in absolute terms, suggest emerging trends that may warrant closer monitoring. Conversely, burglary dropped 85.7% (from 7 to 1), possibly due to increased community vigilance or seasonal factors reducing opportunities for entry. Shoplifting also fell sharply by 68.2% (22 to 7), likely influenced by Black Friday's earlier sales period or improved retail security measures. Violent crime decreased by 41.3% (from 46 to 27).5 per 1,000 remains 42% below the UK average for this category. The breakdown reveals stark contrasts: while violence and sexual offences dominate, property crimes collectively account for only 38.5% of total incidents, compared to 53% nationally. This divergence may reflect Glossop's lower density and fewer commercial spaces. 'other crime' — a category encompassing fraud, harassment, and other non-specific offences — now exceeds the UK average by 87%, highlighting gaps in understanding or reporting practices. Residents might find the 37% below-average shoplifting rate particularly relevant, as it suggests local retailers may be adopting more effective theft prevention strategies.

Glossop's crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 in November 2025 marks a 30.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 7.2 per 1,000, indicating a meaningful short-term improvement. On a daily basis, this translates to approximately 3 crimes reported each day — a figure that, while modest, provides a tangible sense of frequency for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 199 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises risk within the community's demographics. With a population of 18,101, this rate suggests that the vast majority of residents are unlikely to directly experience crime. The 31.5% gap below the UK average underscores Glossop's relatively safer profile, particularly in categories like shoplifting (37% below) and criminal damage (25% below), which may reflect the area's smaller retail and industrial footprint. However, the 4% above-average rate for anti-social behaviour hints at challenges in managing community interactions during peak social periods like Bonfire Night. This comparison reveals a balance: while Glossop's crime profile is generally favourable, specific local conditions — such as its proximity to High Peak's natural areas or seasonal events — may still influence crime patterns in ways that require targeted attention.
