Edwalton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a continuation of Edwalton's consistently low crime profile, with a total crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents — 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure places the area firmly within the safest localities nationally, reflecting a pattern that has persisted across multiple reporting periods. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.8% of all recorded crimes (7 incidents), a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 — 53% below the UK average for this category. This suggests a localised focus on interpersonal crime, potentially influenced by seasonal factors such as the darker evenings of November and the social dynamics associated with Bonfire Night. The second most common category, criminal damage and arson (2 incidents), had a rate of 0.4 per 1,000 — 25% below the UK average, while other crime (2 incidents) showed an anomaly, being 150% above the UK average for this category. The seasonal context of November — with its associated events and reduced daylight — likely contributes to patterns observed in violent crime and public order incidents. The overall crime rate, while low, does not preclude targeted efforts to address specific categories such as other crime, which showed a notable deviation from national norms.

The month-on-month comparison reveals a 33.4% decrease in the overall crime rate from 4.2 per 1,000 in October to 2.8 per 1,000 in November, indicating a marked improvement in public safety. This decline was driven by significant reductions in several categories: criminal damage and arson fell by 60.0% (from 5 to 2 incidents), other crime dropped by 33.3% (from 3 to 2 incidents), and anti-social behaviour also decreased by 33.3% (from 3 to 2 incidents). However, three categories saw notable increases: public order, burglary, and vehicle crime all rose by 100.0% from zero incidents in October to one each in November. This shift in crime mix may reflect the influence of seasonal events such as Black Friday shopping, which could have heightened opportunities for vehicle-related crimes, or the timing of Bonfire Night, which might have contributed to public order incidents. The category of violence and sexual offences, while remaining the most common, was 53% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), suggesting that local measures or community dynamics are effectively mitigating more severe forms of crime. For residents, the stability in violent crime rates despite the seasonal context offers a reassuring indicator of ongoing safety.

Compared to the previous month, Edwalton's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 33.4%, from 4.2 to 2.8 per 1,000 residents — a drop that translates to 16 fewer crimes recorded over the 30-day period. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day in November, a figure that, while seemingly low, provides a concrete reference point for residents assessing local safety. When considering the monthly exposure, the data shows that over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 361 residents — a ratio that highlights the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity in the area. This statistic, when contextualised against the local population of 5,770, underscores the effectiveness of community policing or other local deterrents. The UK average crime rate of 7.3 per 1,000 in November serves as a stark contrast, with Edwalton's figure being 61.6% lower. This disparity may be attributed to the area's character as a built-up locality within Rushcliffe, where residential density and community engagement could play roles in crime prevention. While the absolute number of crimes remains small, the comparison with the UK average reinforces the notion that Edwalton represents a safer microcosm within the broader national context.
