Bailrigg Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bailrigg's crime profile in December 2025 reveals a stark contrast to national trends, with its overall rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents placing it 82.9% below the UK average. This exceptionally low figure reflects the area's broader safety record, though seasonal factors have introduced targeted risks. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.9% of reported crimes, a category where Bailrigg's rate (0.5 per 1,000) is 81% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 28.6% of total incidents, also remains significantly lower than the national benchmark. The small number of theft from the person and public order offences—each comprising 14.3% of incidents—highlights the influence of December's festive season. The month's dark evenings, empty homes during holidays, and increased foot traffic in retail areas likely contributed to these specific spikes. While the overall crime rate remains historically low, the data underscores the need for vigilance in high-traffic zones and during late-night hours. This pattern is consistent with other low-crime built-up areas where seasonal events temporarily disrupt usual safety dynamics. The absence of property crimes in December—a stark departure from the 1.8% share typically seen in similar areas—suggests either improved security measures or the transient nature of certain crime types during the holiday period.

December 2025 marked a significant rise in theft from the person, doubling from zero to one incident—a 100% increase. This spike coincides with the Christmas shopping peak, when crowded retail areas and dark evenings may heighten opportunities for opportunistic theft. Public order offences also rose by 100%, likely linked to increased social gatherings during the festive season. While anti-social behaviour fell by 33.3% (from 3 to 2 incidents), this decline contrasts with the UK average, where anti-social behaviour remains 57% below national levels. Violent crimes decreased by 25% (from 4 to 3).5 per 1,000 is still 81% below the UK average for this category. Residents should remain vigilant in high-traffic areas and during evening hours.

Bailrigg's crime rate in December 2025 fell sharply to 1.2 per 1,000 residents, a 68.1% decrease from November's 3.9 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the UK's safest built-up zones, with its rate 82.9% below the national average. Daily crime statistics show no reported incidents in December, reflecting the low overall rate. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 807 residents, illustrating the rarity of incidents in this area. While the population-scaled perspective suggests minimal risk, the increase in theft from the person and public order offences highlights specific vulnerabilities during the festive season. These figures contrast with the UK average, where theft from the person remains 33% higher nationally, suggesting local factors may influence this particular category.
