Immingham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Immingham's crime rate of 8.7 per 1,000 residents placed it 19.2% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in maintaining public safety. The balance between property and violent crime reveals a nuanced picture: while violent crimes (32 incidents) narrowly outpaced property crimes (27 incidents), the nature of these crimes suggests distinct patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.6% of all recorded crimes, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 (21% above). This dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK's broader trend, where property crimes often dominate in similar-sized built-up areas. Anti-social behaviour (17 incidents) and public order offences (10 incidents) further skewed the profile, with both categories exceeding UK averages by 51% and 113% respectively. These figures align with seasonal factors in November, including the darker evenings of Bonfire Night and the commercial activity of Black Friday, which may contribute to increased public disorder and alcohol-related incidents. The data also shows a marked contrast in the distribution of crime types compared to other UK areas, where property crimes typically dominate. This imbalance may reflect Immingham's specific character as a built-up area with a mix of industrial and residential zones, where social interactions in public spaces and community dynamics could play a role in shaping crime patterns. While the overall rate remains concerning, the absence of significant spikes in property crimes compared to the UK average suggests that targeted policing or community initiatives might be mitigating some risks in that category. However, the persistent elevation of violent and anti-social crime indicates a need for sustained focus on addressing underlying social and environmental factors.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime categories, with burglary and vehicle crime both doubling from the previous month. Burglary, which had previously been limited to two incidents, rose to five (a 150% increase), while vehicle crime increased from one to two (100% increase). These jumps may be linked to seasonal factors such as the shorter daylight hours of November, which could make homes and vehicles more vulnerable to opportunistic offences. Conversely, shoplifting declined sharply by 57.1% (from seven to three incidents), reflecting reduced foot traffic during the post-Black Friday lull or increased policing in retail areas. The most striking anomaly was bicycle theft, which reached three incidents—a 400% increase over the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This could indicate a growing presence of cyclists in the area, due to changes in commuting patterns or infrastructure, or it may reflect a gap in local crime prevention strategies for non-motorised transport. Violent crime also showed a slight decrease (13.5% from 37 to 32 incidents), though it remained 21% above the UK average. This decline might be attributed to the timing of November, with the conclusion of university term-time activities reducing transient populations that could contribute to alcohol-fuelled violence. Residents should note that anti-social behaviour and public order offences continue to be major concerns, with the former 51% above the UK average and the latter 113% above. These figures suggest that community engagement initiatives or targeted interventions may be necessary to address the root causes of such incidents, particularly in areas with high public foot traffic or during events like Bonfire Night.

Immingham's crime rate in November 2025 (8.7 per 1,000) marked a 16.8% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.4 per 1,000, reflecting a growing challenge in maintaining public safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while not uncommon for similar-sized built-up areas, underscores the need for consistent policing efforts. When scaled to the local population of 10,380 residents, this translated to one reported crime for every 115 residents over the course of the month—a monthly exposure rate that, while not excessively high, remains a concern for a community of this size. Comparing this to the previous month's rate, the 16.8% increase suggests a potential shift in crime dynamics, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the colder weather and reduced daylight hours, which may deter outdoor activity while increasing the likelihood of indoor crime or alcohol-related incidents. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the relative proportion of crimes compared to the UK average, which in November stood at 7.3 per 1,000. While Immingham's rate is higher, the breakdown of crime types reveals that this is not due to a broad increase in all categories but rather a concentration in violent and anti-social crimes. This suggests that local conditions—such as the density of residential areas, the presence of public amenities, or the socioeconomic profile of the population—may play a role in shaping the specific crime profile. Residents should consider that while the overall rate is elevated, the nature of these crimes may differ from those in other parts of the UK, where property crimes often dominate. This distinction could inform local strategies for crime prevention, focusing on addressing the unique factors contributing to the current pattern.
