Earls Barton Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Earls Barton's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 61% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends highlights the area's relatively secure environment. Anti-social behaviour (8 incidents, 42.1% of total crimes) emerged as the most prevalent category, followed by violence and sexual offences (6 incidents, 31.6%) and vehicle crime (2 incidents, 10.5%). While anti-social behaviour remained slightly above the UK average for this category (1.3 per 1,000), violent crime in Earls Barton was 66% below the national rate. The seasonal context of October—shorter days and Halloween—may have influenced patterns, though the overall low crime rate suggests community resilience. Vehicle crime, which rose sharply by 100% compared to September, may reflect increased local traffic or changes in parking habits. The area's built-up character within North Northamptonshire, combined with its low population density (6,375 residents), likely contributes to its distinct crime profile. These figures underscore a community that, despite occasional spikes, maintains a markedly safer environment than the UK average.

October 2025 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 0 to 2 incidents—a notable shift requiring further attention. Anti-social behaviour rose by 14.3% (7 to 8 incidents), though it remained just 3% above the UK average for this category. Violent crime fell by 14.3% (7 to 6 incidents), continuing a downward trend that places Earls Barton 66% below the national rate for violence and sexual offences. Burglary dropped sharply by 66.7% (3 to 1 incident), suggesting improved security measures or seasonal factors. The area's vehicle crime rate (0.3 per 1,000) was 29% below the UK average, a contrast to its anti-social behaviour rate, which was only 3% above the national figure. Residents might find the low burglary rate particularly reassuring, as it was 33% below the UK average. These shifts highlight a combination of local conditions and national trends, with October's darker evenings and Halloween likely influencing anti-social behaviour rates.

Earls Barton's October 2025 crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents marked a 29.7% decline from the previous month's rate of 4.2 per 1,000. This reduction, despite the seasonal context of shorter days, suggests effective local crime prevention efforts. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 1 crime per day over 31 days—a figure that, while low, reflects the small population size. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of October, one reported crime occurred for every 336 residents, a statistic that underscores the area's safety relative to its size. Comparing this to the UK average, Earls Barton's overall crime rate was 61% lower, a gap that widened from previous months. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, even with occasional spikes in anti-social behaviour, the area's crime burden remains significantly lighter than national benchmarks. This contrast is amplified by the fact that violent crime, which accounts for 31.6% of total incidents, was 66% below the UK average. These figures illustrate a community that, despite its built-up nature, maintains a crime profile far more favourable than the national average.
