Rushmoor Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Rushmoor recorded a crime rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 5.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 24 crimes per day — a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the frequency of incidents in the area. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (268 cases, 36.5% of total), vehicle crime (107 cases, 14.6%), and shoplifting (97 cases, 13.2%). These patterns may partly reflect seasonal factors, such as the increased foot traffic during Black Friday shopping and the darker evenings of November, which can heighten vulnerability. Violence and sexual offences remained the largest category, likely driven by the area's mix of residential and commercial zones, where late-night activity may contribute to incidents. Vehicle crime's 150% above-UK-average rate could be linked to the high number of retail premises and commuter traffic in the district. Meanwhile, shoplifting's 43% above-UK-average rate may be influenced by the retail sector's prominence during the festive season. The relatively low rate of anti-social behaviour (53% below the UK average) and burglary (33% below) suggests that community-focused initiatives or environmental design features may be effective in reducing these categories. However, the sharp rise in vehicle crime and robbery highlights the need for targeted interventions during peak shopping periods. For residents, these figures illustrate that while the overall risk is lower than the national average, certain crime types demand attention, particularly those tied to seasonal activity and local infrastructure.

November 2025 saw sharp fluctuations in specific crime categories. Vehicle crime surged by 122.9%, jumping from 48 to 107 incidents — a rate of 1.0 per 1,000, 150% above the UK average. This spike may partly reflect increased traffic during Black Friday sales or heightened vehicle-related activity in retail zones. Robbery also rose dramatically, with a 140% increase from 5 to 12 cases. Theft from the person fell by 71.4%, from 7 to 2 incidents — a drop that could indicate improved public awareness or targeted policing efforts during the month. Other crime rose 116.7%, with 13 incidents reported, while anti-social behaviour dropped 43.2%, from 95 to 54. These shifts highlight the uneven nature of crime trends, with some categories responding to seasonal factors while others decline. For residents, the 122.9% jump in vehicle crime offers a concrete example of how specific events can influence local crime patterns.

Rushmoor's crime rate in November 2025 rose 6.0% from the previous month, moving from 6.6 to 6.9 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, aligns with seasonal shifts typical of late autumn. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 24 reported crimes each day — a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 144 residents, illustrating the scale of exposure for the population. While the overall rate remains 5.5% below the UK average, the distribution of crime types reveals distinct patterns. For example, vehicle crime surged to 1.0 per 1,000, more than double the UK average for this category. This suggests that local factors, such as increased traffic during Black Friday shopping or seasonal roadworks, may have contributed to the rise. The daily crime count, while a local statistic, offers a tangible measure of how frequently incidents occur — a useful benchmark for residents assessing their personal risk.
