Coxheath Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coxheath's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes, accounting for half of all reported incidents. This balance of crime types differs markedly from the UK average, where property crimes typically outnumber violent offences. The area's overall crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents is 42.5% below the national average of 7.3, highlighting a distinct local context. Violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, occur at a rate of 2.1 per 1,000—18% below the UK average—suggesting factors such as community cohesion or local policing strategies may contribute to this trend. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, is 53% below the UK average, potentially reflecting Coxheath's built-up area status within Maidstone, which may foster more structured social environments. Seasonal factors appear to influence patterns: the proximity of Bonfire Night likely amplified anti-social behaviour, while extended dark evenings may have deterred property crimes. Drug-related offences, though elevated in November, remain below the UK average, indicating a unique local dynamic. This crime mix illustrates Coxheath as a low-crime area with a specific emphasis on violent incidents, contrasting with the UK's broader distribution across property and violent crime categories.

November 2025 marked a significant shift in Coxheath's crime mix, with drug-related offences doubling from 2 to 4 incidents, a 100% increase. This rise contrasts with a 50% decrease in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 6 to 3 cases. The violent crime category, making up 50% of total incidents, remains 18% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, despite a seasonal spike in anti-social behaviour linked to Bonfire Night. Shoplifting incidents halved to 1 from 2, aligning with the area's 84% below UK average for this category. These shifts suggest a combination of local events and broader patterns, with the 100% increase in drug offences potentially reflecting heightened activity during the Black Friday shopping period, though no direct causal link can be confirmed.

Coxheath's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 9.2% decrease from the previous month's 4.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the broader seasonal trend of reduced outdoor activity as daylight hours shorten. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported every 30 days, translating to a local monthly exposure of one crime for every 240 residents. While this figure is lower than the UK average, it reflects the area's relatively low population density and limited commercial activity. The population-scaled perspective underscores that residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the national average, particularly in categories such as shoplifting and burglary, which are 84% and 67% below UK rates respectively. This context suggests that the built-up area's character, potentially shaped by its integration with Maidstone's broader infrastructure, contributes to a crime profile distinct from more densely populated urban centres.
