Corby Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Corby’s crime rate stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.8% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors, with the month’s events—Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the encroaching darkness of winter—likely influencing patterns of criminal activity. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.7% of all incidents (189 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (14.0%) and shoplifting (11.5%). This balance between violent and property crimes is particularly noteworthy, as both categories contributed nearly equally to the total crime count (186 property crimes and 189 violent crimes). The rise in shoplifting, which was 43% above the UK average, may be attributed to the heightened retail activity during Black Friday, while the spike in theft from the person (3 incidents) could indicate opportunistic criminal behavior during crowded shopping periods. Conversely, the decline in anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences compared to October suggests that local policing strategies or community initiatives may have had an impact. The seasonal context of November, with its shorter days and colder nights, may also have influenced the visibility and frequency of certain crimes, such as public order offences, which remained above the UK average by 6%. These patterns highlight the need for ongoing analysis of how seasonal and economic factors shape crime trends in Corby, a built-up area within North Northamptonshire that likely experiences fluctuations tied to both local demographics and national retail cycles.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in Corby’s crime profile, with theft from the person surging by 100% (from 0 to 3 incidents), a sharp rise that could be linked to the timing of Black Friday shopping. Concurrently, burglary increased by 92.3% (13 to 25), suggesting potential vulnerabilities in residential security during the month. In contrast, anti-social behaviour fell by 38.8% (from 121 to 74), possibly reflecting a combination of seasonal changes and community-focused initiatives. The balance between property and violent crimes remained strikingly close, with 186 property crimes and 189 violent crimes reported. This near parity contrasts with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which were 9% below Corby’s rate (2.6 vs 2.8 per 1,000). Shoplifting, at 0.9 per 1,000, was 43% above the UK average, highlighting the impact of retail activity during the month. These shifts underscore the need for targeted strategies to address emerging risks, such as the sudden rise in theft from the person, while leveraging the decline in anti-social behaviour as a potential model for further reduction.

Corby’s crime rate in November 2025 (7.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 14.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 9.2 per 1,000, reflecting a notable shift in local crime dynamics. This decline aligns with the month’s seasonal context, as darker evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night may have influenced patterns of outdoor activity and policing focus. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly 18 reported crimes each day in November, a figure that translates to one crime occurring for every 128 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible sense of risk for residents, though it remains lower than the peak seen in October. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while Corby’s rate is above the UK average, the downward trend suggests potential improvements in local safety measures or community engagement efforts. Comparing this to the previous month’s data, the drop in violent crimes by 22.2% (from 243 to 189) and anti-social behaviour by 38.8% (from 121 to 74) indicates a possible response to targeted interventions or natural fluctuations in criminal activity.
