Bulkington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bulkington’s overall crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 28.8% below the UK average of 7.3. This marked improvement reflects a broader trend in the area’s efforts to maintain public safety, though seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping the figures. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, contributing 37.5% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 18.8% and criminal damage and arson at 15.6%. These patterns align with the area’s character as a mixed-use built-up district, where community engagement initiatives and local policing strategies may have contributed to the sustained reduction in overall crime. The month’s context—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended evening darkness—may have influenced certain crime types, though the data suggests that targeted interventions have mitigated potential spikes. Violent crime rates in Bulkington (2.0 per 1,000) were 22% below the UK average, a figure that could be linked to the area’s relatively stable residential demographics and the presence of local support services. However, the rise in criminal damage and arson—though not yet at concerning levels—underscores the need for continued vigilance during periods of heightened community activity. The interplay between seasonal events and local crime trends remains an area for ongoing analysis, with the data illustrating that while Bulkington is safer than the national average, specific challenges persist in certain categories.

November 2025 saw significant declines in several crime categories, with burglary and drugs-related offences dropping by 66.7% compared to the previous month. This reduction in burglaries, which fell from three to one, may reflect the impact of targeted patrols or improved community awareness campaigns. Similarly, the sharp 66.7% decrease in drugs-related crimes could indicate the effectiveness of local enforcement strategies or a natural fluctuation in illicit activity. However, not all trends were positive: criminal damage and arson increased by 150%, rising from two to five incidents, a jump that may be partly explained by the timing of Bonfire Night and the increased use of open spaces for celebratory activities. Vehicle crime also rose by 100%, from one to two incidents, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 18.8% of all crimes, saw a 6% decrease compared to the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives to address nuisance behaviour have had some success. For residents, the most immediate insight is the marked improvement in burglary rates, which may provide reassurance that proactive measures are having a tangible effect on property crime. The contrast between declines in violent crime and the rise in certain property-related offences highlights the need for a balanced approach to crime prevention, focusing on both immediate safety concerns and long-term community engagement.

Bulkington’s crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 in November 2025 represents a 20.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.5 per 1,000, underscoring a sustained period of improvement in the area’s safety metrics. On a daily basis, the 32 total crimes reported over 30 days equate to roughly one crime per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the ongoing need for vigilance in a built-up area with a population of 6,150 residents. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure rate indicates that one crime occurred for roughly every 192 residents during the month—a statistic that, while not alarmingly high, serves as a reminder that even low crime rates can have a tangible impact on individual communities. This rate is particularly notable when compared to the UK average, where the national monthly exposure would be significantly higher. The contrast between Bulkington’s performance and the UK average is most striking in violent crime, where the area’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000 is 22% below the national figure. This suggests that local policing strategies, community cohesion efforts, or demographic factors may be contributing to the area’s relative safety. However, the increase in criminal damage and arson—despite remaining below the UK average—indicates that certain challenges persist, particularly during months with heightened seasonal activity. For residents, these figures offer both reassurance and a call to remain engaged in local safety initiatives, ensuring that the downward trend in overall crime continues.
