Nuneaton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Nuneaton recorded 836 crimes across its population of 94,927 residents, translating to a crime rate of 8.8 per 1,000 — 20.5% above the UK average of 7.3. This figure places the area firmly in the upper tier of regional crime statistics, though the breakdown reveals a nuanced picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.6% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (20.2%) and criminal damage and arson (8.0%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a mid-sized town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where public spaces and local amenities may contribute to certain crime types. The seasonal context of November — marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended evening darkness — likely influenced the volume of crimes, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. Shoplifting was 5% below the UK average, a deviation that may be attributed to increased security measures during the holiday shopping period. However, the sharp rise in possession of weapons (62.5% month-on-month) and criminal damage and arson (45.7% increase) indicates emerging challenges. These spikes, combined with the area’s existing elevated crime rate, suggest that local authorities may need to reassess strategies for addressing both persistent and evolving criminal trends.

November 2025 saw a 62.5% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 8 to 13 incidents. This spike aligns with the darker evenings of November, which may limit visibility and increase opportunities for concealed activities.

This shift in crime mix suggests a greater focus on property-related incidents, with violence and sexual offences (34.6% of total crimes) remaining the most common category. Shoplifting in Nuneaton was 5% below the UK average, a rare positive deviation that may reflect the impact of Black Friday shopping, where retailers could have implemented stricter security measures.

Nuneaton's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 8.6% compared to the previous month, falling from 9.6 to 8.8 per 1,000 residents.

The population context further illustrates the impact: with 94,927 residents, even a relatively small number of crimes can affect a significant portion of the community. These statistics provide a clear snapshot of the area’s monthly exposure, offering residents a tangible measure of their risk profile.
