Barrowford Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Barrowford for November 2025 reveals a distinct profile compared to the UK average, shaped by local dynamics and seasonal influences. With a crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents—24.7% below the UK’s 7.3—the area demonstrates a relative safety advantage. However, the distribution of crime types tells a different story: anti-social behaviour dominates at 50% of all incidents, far exceeding the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000 (155% higher). This suggests a concentration of low-level disorder, potentially linked to community-specific pressures or policing strategies. Violence and sexual offences, though lower than the UK average (27.8% of total crimes vs 2.6 per 1,000 nationally), remain a significant portion of the crime mix. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and shorter days—may have influenced patterns: shoplifting, for instance, rose sharply as consumers flocked to retail outlets. Meanwhile, burglary. of total crimes, saw a 200% increase from one to three incidents, tied to holiday-related disruptions or increased home security concerns. These trends illustrate how local factors and national averages intersect, with Barrowford’s profile reflecting both a generally safer environment and pockets of persistent challenge in managing anti-social behaviour.

November saw a 200% increase in burglary, rising from one to three incidents—a sharp upward trend that may be linked to seasonal factors such as darker evenings and holiday-related activity. Shoplifting also doubled, reaching two incidents, potentially influenced by Black Friday shopping activity. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 41.2%, dropping from 17 to 10, a decline that may reflect the impact of seasonal events like Bonfire Night, which can deter outdoor activity. Anti-social behaviour, the most common category, remains 155% above the UK average at 2.7 per 1,000, suggesting a persistent challenge in community engagement or local enforcement priorities. Meanwhile, vehicle crime and other theft categories fell below UK rates by 50–61%, indicating areas where Barrowford’s policing or environmental factors may be more effective. These shifts highlight the combination of local dynamics and national trends.

Barrowford's November 2025 crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents marks a 7.6% decrease from the previous month’s 5.9, reflecting a continued trend of relative stability. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime every 30 days, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 184 residents over the course of November, illustrating the scale of risk in a population of 6,609. This monthly aggregate provides a clearer picture of long-term patterns than daily fluctuations, which can be influenced by short-term events. The population-scaled perspective shows that Barrowford’s crime rate remains lower than the UK average, with the 24.7% deficit highlighting a consistent safety advantage. However, the distribution of crime types—particularly the spike in anti-social behaviour—suggests that localised factors may be influencing specific categories more than others.
