Edwinstowe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Edwinstowe's November 2025 crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 stands 34.2% below the UK average of 7.3, reflecting a consistently lower-than-national-level profile. The area's crime mix shows a clear dominance of violent and sexual offences (26.9% share), followed by anti-social behaviour (23.1%) and criminal damage (11.5%). This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically account for a larger share. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended evenings—likely influenced the crime profile. Violence and sexual offences, though rising sharply by 250% month-on-month, still remain below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour's slight 4% excess over the UK rate may be tied to the area's built-up nature within Newark and Sherwood, where social interactions in public spaces are more frequent. The relatively low burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) suggests effective local security measures or a lower density of vulnerable properties. These figures indicate that while specific crime types can spike seasonally, Edwinstowe maintains a broader safety advantage over the national average, though targeted interventions may still be needed for rising categories.

Violence and sexual offences surged by 250% in November, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This jump, though alarming, still leaves the category 49% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 6 incidents, remained stable but edged 4% above the UK average. Other crime, with 3 reported incidents, stood 275% above the UK rate of 0.2 per 1,000—a disparity that could reflect local reporting practices or specific community dynamics. The month-on-month increase in criminal damage and arson (+200%) from 1 to 3 incidents may be linked to seasonal factors like Bonfire Night. Residents concerned about property safety might note that vehicle crime remained flat at 0.4 per 1,000, matching the UK average. These shifts illustrate the combination of local and national trends in crime reporting.

Edwinstowe's crime rate in November 2025 rose sharply from 2.2 per 1,000 in the previous month to 4.8 per 1,000, marking an 117% increase. This shift, though significant, remains well below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 1 incident per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may feel more tangible to residents. When scaled to the area's population of 5,377, this translates to one reported crime for every 207 residents over the course of the month. Such a monthly exposure rate provides context for community safety planning but does not capture the intensity of short-term spikes. The population-scaled perspective highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents, even as specific crime types saw dramatic fluctuations. This contrast between aggregate and category-level trends underscores the need for nuanced analysis of local crime patterns.
