Earls Barton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Earls Barton’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3. This relatively low rate, despite the month’s seasonal challenges, underscores the area’s unique characteristics. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (52.9% of total incidents), followed by criminal damage and arson (11.8%) and public order offences (8.8%). These figures may be influenced by November’s specific rhythms: the lead-up to Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the early onset of winter darkness. While the high proportion of violent crime is concerning, it is tempered by the area’s performance in other categories. Other theft, for instance, was 41% below the UK average, and anti-social behaviour incidents were 72% lower. This suggests that while certain aspects of the local crime profile align with national trends—such as the rise in violence—others diverge significantly. The seasonal context may partly explain the spike in violent crime, as darker evenings and crowded events could increase opportunities for such incidents. However, the overall rate remains well within the UK’s lower end, reflecting a community that, despite its challenges, maintains a relatively safe environment.

Violence and sexual offences surged by 200%, rising from 6 to 18 incidents—a stark increase that outpaces the UK average by 9%. This spike may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which can heighten tensions in community spaces. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 75%, from 8 to 2 cases, marking one of the most significant declines in the dataset. This reduction could reflect heightened local efforts during the month or a natural dip in incidents during the winter season. Vehicle crime also dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1, a change that may align with reduced outdoor activity as evenings grow darker. Other theft was 41% below the UK average, suggesting a relative safety in this category despite the overall rise in violent crime. These contrasting trends highlight the complexity of local crime dynamics.

The crime rate in November 2025 rose to 5.3 per 1,000 residents, a 78.9% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.0. This upward shift, though significant, remains 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may offer reassurance to residents. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 188 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while not negligible, reflects a relatively low frequency compared to broader national trends. The population of 6,375 further contextualises these figures, illustrating that even with the month-on-month rise, the absolute number of crimes remains modest. This suggests that local factors, rather than systemic issues, may be influencing the current trajectory.
