Leyland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Leyland’s crime rate for November 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 17.8% below the UK average of 7.3. This continued trend of lower-than-national rates underscores the area’s relative safety compared to other parts of the country. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.2% of all incidents. This figure, though significant, was 3% below the UK average, a contrast to the national trend of higher violent crime rates in similar built-up areas. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category, contributing 23.6% of all crimes, though it remained 32% above the UK average, a reflection of the area’s social dynamics. The seasonality of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and reduced daylight—likely influenced crime patterns. For instance, the sharp rise in vehicle crime and robbery may be tied to increased traffic or opportunistic activity during the holiday season, while the decline in anti-social behaviour could indicate the impact of community efforts to manage public spaces. Overall, Leyland’s crime picture illustrates a balance between persistent challenges in violent crime and the influence of external factors such as weather and seasonal events on property-related incidents.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 100% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 4 to 8 incidents, marking the most significant month-on-month change in the area. This spike could be linked to seasonal factors, such as increased vehicle movement during Black Friday shopping or heightened activity in car parks due to colder weather. Concurrently, robbery cases jumped from zero to seven, a 100% rise, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in specific locations or times. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 42.7% (from 110 to 63), possibly reflecting the impact of targeted local initiatives or the natural ebb of seasonal events. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime category, accounting for 41.2% of all incidents, yet they remained 3% below the UK average. This contrast highlights Leyland’s unique crime profile, where violent crime is consistently lower than national levels but property-related crimes—such as shoplifting and vehicle crime—exhibit more pronounced fluctuations.

Leyland's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 13.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.9. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns often seen in the area, where colder weather and shorter daylight hours may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 9 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the built-up environment. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 166 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Leyland well below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This lower rate reflects the area’s population dynamics, with a mix of residential and commercial zones that may foster community engagement and deterrence mechanisms. While the overall crime rate remains stable compared to other months, the sharp fluctuations in specific categories, such as the 100% increase in vehicle crime, suggest that local factors—such as changes in parking patterns or enforcement activity—could play a role in shaping these trends.
