Long Stratton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Long Stratton, 2 crimes were reported in November 2025 — a rate 72.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of less than 0.04% for any given resident, making it one of the safest areas in the UK for this month. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (50% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (16.7%) and other crime (16.7%). While the overall rate remains low, the seasonal context of November — with extended dark evenings, Bonfire Night events, and post-Black Friday shopping — may have influenced patterns. The dominance of violent crimes, despite a 33.3% month-on-month decline from 9 to 6 incidents, suggests persistent vulnerabilities in community safety that could be linked to the area’s small-town dynamics and limited public spaces for conflict resolution. The stark contrast with the UK average highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the area’s socio-economic profile, though further analysis would be needed to confirm causation. Anti-social behaviour remains significantly below the UK average (72% below), which may reflect the area’s tight-knit community structure or lower population density compared to urban centres. However, the rise in ‘other crime’ — which exceeds the UK average by 87% — warrants scrutiny, as this category often includes complex or unclassified incidents that could signal emerging trends.

November 2025 saw a 33.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 9 to 6 incidents — a shift that may reflect heightened community vigilance or the impact of targeted policing efforts around Bonfire Night. Conversely, ‘other crime’ increased by 100%, rising from 1 to 2 incidents, a category that, while exceeding the UK average by 87%, remains relatively low in absolute terms. This category’s surge could indicate underreported issues or a shift in criminal activity that deserves closer attention. Violent crimes in Long Stratton remain 61% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), a gap that likely reflects the area’s rural character and limited opportunities for large-scale violence compared to densely populated urban areas. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, is 72% below the UK average, suggesting that local social norms or community cohesion play a significant role in mitigating such incidents. For residents, the most concrete takeaway is the month-on-month decline in violent crime, which could be a positive indicator for long-term safety trends if sustained.

The crime rate in November 2025 (2.0 per 1,000) represents a 25.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.7, marking a downward trend that could be attributed to seasonal factors or improved policing. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 504 residents — a figure that, while statistically significant, translates to a very low personal risk for any individual. Daily crime counts in Long Stratton averaged roughly 0 incidents per day, underscoring the area’s overall safety compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable when considering the population of 6,046 residents, as it means the likelihood of encountering crime is exceptionally low. The comparison to the UK average further emphasizes Long Stratton’s status as an outlier in terms of safety, with violent crime rates 61% below national levels and anti-social behaviour 72% below. However, the 87% increase in ‘other crime’ over the UK average highlights a potential gap in data interpretation or an emerging trend that may require closer attention. These figures collectively suggest that while Long Stratton remains a secure place to live, the small but notable rise in certain categories could signal areas for targeted intervention.
