Werrington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Werrington’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents places it 65.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscoring its position as a significantly safer area compared to national trends. The breakdown of incidents reveals a stark contrast between violent crimes, which accounted for 56.3% of total reported crimes (9 incidents), and property-related offences, which contributed just 6.3% (1 incident). This imbalance suggests that violent crime remains the dominant concern.4 per 1,000 is 46% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, the timing of Bonfire Night, and the post-Black Friday shopping period—likely influenced the crime pattern. For example, the 100% increase in shoplifting incidents may align with the surge in retail activity during this period, while the significant drop in anti-social behaviour could reflect reduced public gatherings as evenings grow darker. The area’s overall crime profile, characterised by a low rate and a sustained decline, is consistent with the characteristics of a largely rural built-up area within the Staffordshire Moorlands, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to lower crime rates. However, the minor divergence in public order offences—6% above the UK average—suggests that local enforcement priorities or specific events, such as Bonfire Night, could have temporarily elevated this category. These dynamics illustrate the combination of seasonal factors, local demographics, and policing efforts in shaping the area’s crime profile.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in shoplifting incidents, rising from zero to one reported case, a shift consistent with the timing of Black Friday shopping. This contrasts with an 83.3% decline in 'other crime' and an 80% drop in anti-social behaviour, both of which fell from six to one incident. The violent crime category remained the most prevalent, contributing 56.3% of total crimes.4 per 1,000 was 46% below the UK average. Public order offences, at 0.5 per 1,000, were 6% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, indicating a minor divergence in this category. For residents, the significant drop in anti-social behaviour offers a tangible indicator of improved local conditions, though the rise in shoplifting may warrant closer attention to retail security measures. The decrease in 'other crime' and anti-social behaviour suggests that community policing initiatives or seasonal factors—such as reduced public gatherings during colder weather—could have contributed to the decline. These shifts highlight the area’s evolving crime profile, with property-related offences remaining rare but violent crime continuing to dominate the local incident mix.

Werrington’s November 2025 crime rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents represents a 56.8% decline from the previous month’s 5.9 per 1,000, indicating a sustained reduction in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per 30 days, equating to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 396 residents. This figure underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the local population. When contextualised against the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, Werrington’s crime rate remains 65.8% below, reinforcing its status as a significantly safer area. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that the likelihood of experiencing a crime in Werrington is markedly lower than the national average. However, local factors such as seasonal patterns—such as the darker evenings of November—and community engagement efforts may influence this dynamic. The combination of a declining trend and a low overall rate suggests that the area’s crime profile is stabilising, though continued monitoring of specific categories like public order and anti-social behaviour is warranted to ensure sustained improvements. The daily crime context provides a tangible measure of safety, as residents can expect fewer than one incident per month per 400 people, a statistic that contrasts sharply with the UK’s higher rates.
