Fremington Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Fremington’s crime profile in October 2025 reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes over property-related incidents, a pattern that diverges from the UK average. With a total crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents—57.1% below the national figure—the area demonstrates a marked contrast to broader trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 70.6% of all crimes, a share significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.7 per 1,000). This imbalance suggests a local dynamic where interpersonal conflict or community tensions may play a role, though seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween could also contribute. Anti-social behaviour, though a smaller proportion (11.8%), rose sharply by 100% compared to the previous month, linked to the seasonal transition and increased social gatherings. The UK average for anti-social behaviour (1.3 per 1,000) is 68% below Fremington’s rate, indicating a localised challenge in managing such incidents. Meanwhile, property crimes—burglary, criminal damage, and arson—remained low, with burglary at 0.2 per 1,000 (33% below the UK average) and criminal damage at 0.2 per 1,000 (64% below the UK average). This suggests that while Fremington’s built-up nature may increase exposure to certain risks, its overall infrastructure or community networks may act as a buffer against more severe property-related crime. The area’s low crime rate, coupled with its violent crime focus, illustrates a community where social cohesion and policing efforts appear to mitigate broader national trends, though targeted interventions may be needed to address the surge in anti-social behaviour.

October 2025 saw sharp increases in anti-social behaviour (+100%), criminal damage and arson (+100%), and 'other crime' (+100%), while burglary fell by 50%. These shifts highlight a notable imbalance between property and violent crime, with the latter dominating at 70.6% of total incidents. Violent crime in Fremington (2.3 per 1,000) is 14% below the UK average for this category, suggesting local factors may temper its prevalence. Conversely, 'other crime'—which includes incidents not falling into standard categories—exceeds the UK average by 18%, pointing to a unique pattern that warrants further exploration. Residents may find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly noteworthy, as it aligns with the season’s darker evenings and Halloween activities, which can heighten social tensions in smaller communities.

Fremington's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 54.8% compared to the previous month, reflecting a shift in local activity patterns. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 308 residents, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. Daily crime counts averaged one per day, a figure that contextualises the scale of activity against Fremington’s population of 5,235. This translates to a monthly exposure of 1-in-308 residents encountering crime, a statistic that, while specific to Fremington, highlights the rarity of incidents in comparison to national trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with the month-on-month increase, Fremington remains significantly safer than the UK average, with its overall rate 57.1% below the national figure. This contrast suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may play a role in sustaining lower crime levels despite seasonal fluctuations.
