Burton Latimer Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Burton Latimer's crime mix in November 2025 reveals a distinct pattern that contrasts with national averages and reflects the area's seasonal rhythms. Violent crimes, particularly violence and sexual offences, dominate the crime profile, accounting for 45.8% of all reported incidents. This high proportion of violent crime, which sits at 2.1 per 1,000 residents—18% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000—suggests a unique local dynamic that may be influenced by factors such as the town's population density or community interactions. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, making up 29.2% of all crimes.3 per 1,000 is 23% above the UK average for this category. This divergence raises questions about local pressures that could be linked to the darker evenings of November or the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which might amplify community tensions. Property crimes, in contrast, remain relatively low, with only 6 incidents reported across the month. This includes a sharp drop in criminal damage and arson (down 60% from October) and vehicle crime (down 50%), which could be attributed to seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity or the timing of major shopping events like Black Friday. The overall crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000—38.4% below the UK average—positions Burton Latimer as a comparatively safer area, though the volatility in anti-social behaviour and other crime categories indicates that local challenges remain. This balance of crime types, combined with the area's specific seasonal context, offers a nuanced picture of how local conditions shape crime patterns in ways that may differ from broader national trends.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 133.3% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 6 to 14 incidents. This surge, combined with a 100% increase in both 'other crime' and 'other theft' categories, indicates a shift in the local crime mix. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 60%, and vehicle crime dropped by 50%, suggesting a possible reallocation of criminal activity. Violent crimes, which make up 45.8% of all incidents, remain significantly below the UK average for that category (2.1 vs 2.6 per 1,000), illustrating a stark contrast to national trends. Anti-social behaviour, however, is 23% above the UK average (1.3 vs 1.1 per 1,000), highlighting a local challenge that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as reduced daylight and the timing of events like Bonfire Night. These shifts offer residents a clear snapshot of how crime patterns can evolve rapidly over a single month.

Burton Latimer's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 33.1% compared to the previous month, moving from 3.4 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while notable, remains 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 2 crimes reported each day in November, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 222 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a concrete measure of how often residents might encounter crime in their local area. When viewed against the population of 10,656, the rate suggests that while crime is present, it is relatively infrequent compared to national benchmarks. The shift in crime types compared to October may reflect seasonal factors, such as the darker evenings of November and the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which can influence local activity patterns and, consequently, crime dynamics.
