Polesworth and Dordon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 8,599 residents, Polesworth and Dordon recorded 33 crimes in November 2025—a figure equivalent to one crime for every 261 residents over the course of the month. This translates to a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 people, placing the area 47.9% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (13 incidents, 39.4% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (7 incidents, 21.2%) and vehicle crime (5 incidents, 15.2%). These figures align with the seasonal context of November, a month marked by darker evenings, Bonfire Night, and the onset of Black Friday shopping. The high proportion of violent crimes may be consistent with the area’s character as a built-up district within North Warwickshire, where social interactions in public spaces could contribute to such incidents. However, the significant underperformance compared to the UK average in categories like anti-social behaviour (25% below) and shoplifting (68% below) suggests effective local measures or community engagement reducing opportunities for these crimes. Vehicle crime, though a notable increase, remains a small share of the overall rate, influenced by seasonal factors such as increased vehicle use for shopping or travel. The overall low crime rate, despite the spike in vehicle crime, reinforces the area’s position as a relatively safe place compared to the national average.

November 2025 saw a 150% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This sharp rise may partly explain the shift in the crime mix, with property crimes (12) now slightly outpacing violent crimes (13) for the first time this year. Violent crimes, however, remain 42% below the UK average at 1.5 per 1,000 residents. Other thefts fell by 83.3%, from 6 to 1, a decline that could reflect heightened awareness around Black Friday shopping. Public order offences also dropped by 80%, from 5 to 1, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-related incidents during Bonfire Night. Vehicle crime’s surge above the UK average (50% higher) highlights a specific vulnerability, linked to increased anti-social behaviour or unsecured vehicles during darker evenings. These fluctuations illustrate the dynamic nature of local crime patterns and the need for targeted interventions.

In November 2025, Polesworth and Dordon recorded a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents, a 42.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 6.6 per 1,000. This drop aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months, though the rate remains significantly lower than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a figure that translates to roughly one reported crime for every 261 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate places the area among the safest in the UK, with the population-scaled perspective highlighting the relatively low frequency of crime relative to the local population. While the daily crime count is a useful metric for residents assessing immediate risk, the monthly aggregate offers a broader context for understanding long-term trends. The contrast between the local rate and the UK average underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies and community engagement efforts, though further analysis is needed to confirm the exact factors contributing to this sustained low crime environment.
