Clayton-le-Moors Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Clayton-le-Moors recorded a crime rate of 9.0 per 1,000 in November 2025, placing it 23.3% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure, while stable compared to the previous month, highlights the area’s ongoing challenge in maintaining a crime rate below national benchmarks. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 41.6% of all incidents—44% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 24.7%, a rate 108% above the national average, suggesting a persistent issue with community disorder. The seasonal context of November, marked by Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely contributed to fluctuations in specific crime categories. For instance, the sharp 200% increase in criminal damage and arson may be partly attributed to the timing of Bonfire Night. Conversely, the 58.8% drop in vehicle crime offers a glimmer of progress, potentially reflecting improved security measures or reduced opportunities for such offences. The area’s crime profile reflects the challenges of a small built-up area within Hyndburn, where limited resources and high concentrations of population in specific zones may exacerbate certain types of crime. The interplay between local demographics, seasonal events, and the built environment likely shapes these patterns, though further analysis would be required to confirm direct causal links. As the year progresses, monitoring these trends will be critical to assessing the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives in addressing persistent issues such as violence and anti-social behaviour.

November 2025 saw a significant 58.8% decrease in vehicle crime, a notable reduction from 17 to 7 incidents. This decline, while welcome, contrasts with sharp increases in criminal damage and arson, which rose by 200% to 9 incidents. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 15.4%, aligning with a broader trend of reduced disorder-related offences. However, the area continues to struggle with violent crime, where violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.6% of all reported crimes—44% above the UK average. The spike in criminal damage and arson may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, though no definitive causal link can be established. Other theft decreased slightly by 16.7%, offering a small but positive sign amid otherwise mixed trends. Residents may find the drop in vehicle crime particularly reassuring, as it suggests potential improvements in local security measures or increased awareness around parked vehicles during the month.

Clayton-le-Moors' crime rate in November 2025 remained stable at 8.9 per 1,000 compared to the previous month, reflecting minimal month-on-month fluctuation. Daily crime statistics indicate an average of 3 crimes reported each day, a figure that, while consistent with recent trends, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in the area. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime was reported for every 111 residents over the course of November, a ratio that highlights the frequency of incidents relative to the local population. This figure, though not directly comparable to national averages due to the absence of UK-wide daily or monthly exposure data, provides a clear snapshot of the area’s crime profile. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the area’s relatively small size, the crime rate remains higher than the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted local interventions or community engagement strategies to address underlying factors contributing to the disparity.
