North Somerset Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in North Somerset, 7.4 crimes were reported in September 2025—a rate matching the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective offers a tangible sense of risk: a resident has a 0.74% chance of being directly involved in a crime during the month. The crime profile reveals a striking dominance of violent offences, which accounted for 40.7% of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that North Somerset's social fabric may be influenced by factors such as its coastal urban centres, where late-night activity and seasonal transitions—like the start of university terms—could contribute to heightened violence. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, was 15% below the UK average at 1.0 per 1,000, a statistic that may reflect the area's mix of rural and urban communities, where community policing or local initiatives could be playing a role. The seasonal context of September—back-to-school periods, university freshers, and the encroaching autumn—likely exacerbates tensions in nightlife areas, aligning with the 48% increase in public order offences compared to the UK average. These patterns, while consistent with broader national trends, highlight the area's unique vulnerabilities and strengths in managing crime.

September 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories. 'Other crime' surged by 128.6%, rising from 21 to 48 incidents—a spike that may relate to unclassified or emerging criminal activities not captured in standard categories. Concurrently, burglary increased by 44.7%, from 47 to 68 cases, a trend that could be influenced by seasonal factors such as university freshers arriving in the area. Conversely, vehicle crime decreased by 50% compared to August, with 51 incidents reported, significantly below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This drop may reflect reduced car theft during the transition from summer to autumn, when vehicle usage patterns shift. Residents might find the 50% reduction in vehicle crime particularly relevant, as it suggests improved security measures or fewer opportunities for such crimes in the area.

North Somerset's crime rate in September 2025 remained stable at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, a 1.2% decrease from August's 7.5 per 1,000. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 55 reported crimes, equating to a local figure of 1 crime for every 135 residents over the month. This monthly exposure provides context for residents: while the rate matches the UK average, the distribution of crime types reveals distinct local trends. For instance, violence and sexual offences were 16% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area's mix of urban and coastal environments where nightlife activity peaks during the summer-to-autumn transition. These statistics, while not directly comparable to national daily figures, offer a snapshot of how crime manifests in North Somerset's unique setting.
