Oadby Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Oadby’s crime rate for November 2025—4.5 per 1,000 residents—places it 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3, a stark contrast to the national picture. This discrepancy highlights the area’s broader safety profile. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 46.3% of all reported incidents, with 50 cases recorded. This figure, while a significant portion of the total, remains 18% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, at 9.3% of the total, but this rate is 62% below the UK average—a notable achievement. The presence of violent crime, however, may be influenced by seasonal factors: November’s dark evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night could contribute to increased incidents. Meanwhile, burglary and other property crimes are well below national levels, with burglary at 0.3 per 1,000 (matching the UK average) and other thefts at 0.3 per 1,000 (41% below the UK rate). These figures suggest that Oadby’s relatively low property crime rates are partly due to its built-up character, where public spaces are more frequently monitored and community engagement may deter opportunistic offences. The contrast with the UK average also underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives in addressing specific crime types, though the rise in violence and sexual offences raises questions about how to maintain this safety record amid seasonal pressures.

November 2025 saw a 16.3% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 43 to 50 cases. This shift may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and the darker evenings that extend into the early hours. Conversely, anti-social behaviour plummeted by 47.4%, from 19 to 10 incidents—a drop that could reflect reduced public gatherings or effective policing around high-profile events. The category of 'other crime' also rose by 33.3%, with four incidents reported, though this remains a small proportion of the total. Oadby’s burglary rate (0.3 per 1,000) matches the UK average, while drug-related crimes (0.3 per 1,000) are 11% above the national figure. These variations illustrate the nuanced crime profile, where some categories align with national trends while others diverge significantly.

Oadby's crime rate for November 2025 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents, a 10.7% decline from the previous month’s rate of 5.0. This reduction underscores a consistent trend in recent months, though the area remains safer than the UK average. On a daily basis, the 108 reported crimes over 30 days translate to roughly four crimes per day, a figure that, while not negligible, reflects the area’s overall low crime profile. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of one crime per 223 residents highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to national benchmarks. This context is critical for residents: while the area’s crime rate is well below the UK average, the slight uptick in violence and sexual offences—now at 50 cases—merits attention. The drop in anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, may reflect seasonal factors such as reduced evening activity during November’s shorter days or successful local initiatives targeting disruptive behaviour.
