Rutland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rutland's crime rate in November 2025 remained low, sitting at 3.5 per 1,000 residents—52.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects the area's consistent position as a rural district with minimal urban density and strong community structures, which historically correlate with lower crime incidence. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.7% of all reported incidents, followed by vehicle crime (12.3%) and anti-social behaviour (10.3%). These figures align with Rutland's character as a largely rural area with limited high-traffic zones, though the prominence of violence-related crimes may indicate challenges in addressing interpersonal conflict in local communities. Seasonal factors in November, including the approach of Bonfire Night and Black Friday, likely influenced patterns of activity, with darker evenings potentially contributing to increased anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime. However, the overall crime rate's continued distance from the UK average suggests that Rutland's policing strategies and community engagement efforts remain effective in maintaining public safety. The relatively low incidence of property crimes—particularly shoplifting, burglary, and other theft—further reinforces the area's secure environment, though the 68% UK deficit in shoplifting cases may hint at limited retail density or effective local deterrents. As the month progresses into December, residents and authorities should remain vigilant, particularly regarding the spikes in weapon possession and anti-social behaviour, which may indicate emerging trends requiring targeted intervention.

November 2025 saw a stark rise in possession of weapons, with a 100% increase from zero to one reported incident. This spike, though statistically minor, warrants attention from residents and authorities alike, particularly in light of Bonfire Night's proximity. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 87.5%, rising from 8 to 15 incidents, a trend that may be linked to the festive season's increased social activity and darker evenings. Meanwhile, vehicle crime climbed by 28.6%, potentially reflecting heightened motorist activity during Black Friday shopping or seasonal travel. These increases contrast with declines in public order offences (down 53.8%), criminal damage and arson (down 42.9%), and other crime (down 40.0%), suggesting shifting patterns in local criminal behaviour. Rutland's violent crime rate—1.4 per 1,000—remains 46% below the UK average, illustrating the area's continued safety in this category despite the overall rise in certain offences.

Rutland's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, a 12.7% decrease from the previous month's 4.0 per 1,000. This reduction, while notable, must be contextualised against the area's consistently low crime profile compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, 5 crimes were reported across Rutland's 41,443 residents, translating to roughly one reported crime for every 284 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the rarity of crime in this rural district, where the population density and community cohesion likely contribute to lower incident rates. The contrast with the UK average—where Rutland's rate is 52.1% below the national figure—highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies and the area's demographic characteristics, such as its limited urban centres and strong sense of community. However, the slight month-on-month decrease does not eliminate the need for vigilance, particularly in light of seasonal factors that may influence specific crime types.
