North Yorkshire Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Yorkshire's overall crime rate in November 2025 was 5.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 28.8% below the UK average of 7.3. This performance reflects a combination of effective policing, community engagement, and the area's geographic and demographic characteristics. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.1% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (23.1%) and criminal damage and arson (7.8%). While the rate of violent crime is 22% below the UK average, anti-social behaviour remains 13% above the national benchmark, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in public order management. Seasonal factors, such as the dark evenings of November and the impact of Bonfire Night, may have influenced patterns in anti-social behaviour and public order offences. The area's lower rates of vehicle crime (75% below the UK average) and theft from the person (100% below) could be attributed to its rural nature, where fewer opportunities for such crimes exist. However, the rise in robbery cases highlights a potential vulnerability in certain areas, linked to the timing of Black Friday shopping and increased foot traffic. The interplay of these factors underscores the importance of adapting crime prevention strategies to local conditions while maintaining vigilance against emerging trends.

November 2025 saw a 72.7% increase in robbery cases, rising from 11 to 19. This sharp rise may partly explain the overall increase in violent crime, which itself grew by 5.7% compared to the previous month. Burglary also rose by 13.8%, reflecting a shift in property crime trends. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 33.3%, dropping from six to four cases. This decrease aligns with the seasonal context of November, where shorter evenings and reduced foot traffic in retail areas may contribute to lower opportunities for such crimes. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, comprising 39.1% of all crimes, but they were 22% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, however, exceeded the UK average by 13%, indicating a localised challenge in managing public order. The stark contrast between categories—such as the 75% reduction in vehicle crime compared to the UK average—highlights the diverse nature of North Yorkshire's crime profile.

North Yorkshire's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 2.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.3. This slight decline suggests a stabilising trend in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 110 crimes per day, reflecting a consistent level of activity over the month. When considering the population, this translates to one reported crime for every 193 residents over the course of November, a figure that provides context on the monthly exposure to crime. This rate is lower than the UK average, but the comparison section focuses on the local context rather than national benchmarks. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the overall rate being below the UK average, the distribution of crimes across different categories reveals distinct patterns. For instance, anti-social behaviour remains a significant concern, while vehicle crime and theft from the person are far below national levels. This contrast underscores the unique characteristics of North Yorkshire's crime profile, shaped by its mix of rural and urban landscapes.
