Brampton (Huntingdonshire) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brampton’s November 2025 crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 52.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a stark contrast to national trends. This significant deviation reflects a combination of local factors, including the area’s compact built-up character and seasonal dynamics. The most common crimes were drug-related offences (30.4% of total) and violence and sexual offences (30.4%), both of which highlight the need for targeted interventions in these categories. The seasonal context of November, marked by Bonfire Night and the waning effects of Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to the overall decline in property crimes such as shoplifting and vehicle crime. However, the sharp rise in drug-related incidents—307% above the UK average—suggests a specific challenge in addressing substance misuse in the area. Brampton’s lower violent crime rate compared to the UK average (57% below) may be partly attributed to its smaller population and limited nightlife infrastructure, which reduces opportunities for alcohol-fuelled violence. These patterns illustrate the combination of local geography, seasonal events, and enforcement efforts in shaping crime trends.

November 2025 saw a 75% reduction in shoplifting, with reported incidents falling from four to one. This decline may partly explain the broader 30.3% drop in the area’s overall crime rate compared to the previous month. Concurrently, vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, a trend consistent with the end of the Black Friday shopping period, which typically drives retail-related offences. However, other crime increased by 200%, rising from one to three incidents, a shift that highlights the volatility in non-violent, non-property categories. Drug-related offences rose by 75%, from four to seven, a figure that is 307% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This discrepancy underscores Brampton’s unique challenges in addressing substance-related crime, which may be influenced by local factors such as proximity to transport routes or changing enforcement priorities. In contrast, violence and sexual offences fell by 46.2%, from 13 to seven, a decrease that aligns with the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting that local initiatives may be contributing to this positive trend.

Brampton’s November 2025 crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents marks a 30.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal slowdown in retail activity following Black Friday, which may have reduced opportunities for shoplifting and vehicle crime. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 284 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. Daily crime context shows an average of one reported crime per day across Brampton, a local figure that reflects the area’s small population and lower overall crime levels compared to national averages. When scaled to the population of 6,539, the monthly exposure rate of 1-in-284 residents illustrates that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime during any given month. This perspective highlights the area’s safety profile, particularly when contrasted with the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, which suggests Brampton’s crime prevention measures may be more effective in mitigating incidents.
