Corby Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Corby’s crime profile in October 2025, accounting for 39.1% of all reported crimes—a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents, 35% above the UK average. This category alone contributes nearly 40% of the area’s total crime load, underscoring its role as the dominant driver of criminal activity. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, with 121 incidents recorded (1.8 per 1,000), 43% above the UK average. These figures align with Corby’s built-up area status, where high-density living and public spaces may amplify such incidents. Shoplifting, at 74 cases (1.1 per 1,000), is 75% above the UK average, likely influenced by the retail presence in the town centre. October’s seasonal context—darker evenings, the start of the winter season, and Halloween—may exacerbate these trends. The overall crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 is 19.5% above the UK average, highlighting Corby’s need for targeted interventions. While violent crime remains the primary concern, the mix of property and anti-social offences suggests a combination of factors, including the area’s urban character and seasonal dynamics. This data reinforces the importance of addressing both immediate public safety concerns and long-term community engagement strategies.

October 2025 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 3 to 6 incidents—a sharp upward trend that may reflect seasonal factors such as increased cycling during darker evenings. Robbery rates also climbed by 42.9%, from 7 to 10 cases, potentially linked to Halloween-related activity or heightened public spaces usage. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 45.8% (from 24 to 13), due to improved security measures or seasonal changes in household activity. Anti-social behaviour surged by 28.7%, reaching 121 incidents, a category that is 43% above the UK average. This spike aligns with the month’s darker evenings and seasonal events, which may contribute to increased public disturbances. Meanwhile, vehicle crime dropped by 26.3% (from 19 to 14), a decline consistent with lower levels of outdoor activity during colder weather.

Corby’s crime rate in October 2025 remained stable at 9.2 per 1,000 residents, a 1.9% increase from the previous month’s 9.0 per 1,000. This suggests a consistent level of criminal activity without significant spikes or declines. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 20 crimes per day over the 31-day period, reflecting a steady rhythm of incidents. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 109 residents over the course of the month—a figure that provides context for residents assessing their local risk profile. While the overall rate is slightly higher than the prior month, the stability indicates that no major shifts in criminal behaviour have occurred. This consistency may be influenced by Corby’s built-up area characteristics, where urban environments often maintain relatively steady crime patterns unless disrupted by external factors.
