Bidford-on-Avon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a significant shift in Bidford-on-Avon’s crime profile, with an overall crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 residents—9.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This improvement, despite an 113.5% increase in the monthly rate compared to October, reflects the area’s continued performance in keeping crime below national levels. The most striking feature of the month was the dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 70.2% of all reported crimes (33 cases). This category’s rate of 4.7 per 1,000 far exceeded the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, an 83% disparity that raises questions about local factors influencing such trends. Seasonal context—such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday—likely contributed to heightened activity, though the area’s lower property crime rates (9 cases, or 1.3% of total) suggest effective measures in addressing theft and burglary. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, meanwhile, remained below UK averages by 43% and 13%, respectively, illustrating a mixed picture where some categories benefit from local strategies. The data hints at a combination of seasonal events and community dynamics, with the sharp rise in violence and sexual offences potentially linked to increased social interactions during the month’s events. However, the overall rate’s resilience against the UK average underscores Bidford-on-Avon’s relative success in maintaining safety despite these pressures.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 11 to 33 incidents—a jump that outpaced all other categories. This surge, coupled with a 200% rise in other theft (from 1 to 3 cases) and a 100% increase in public order offences (from 0 to 1), suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour remains 43% below the UK average, while burglary and robbery are 67% and 9% below, respectively, indicating persistent strengths in addressing property-related crimes. The breakdown shows a stark contrast between violent crime trends and property crime trends, with the former dominating the local crime picture. For residents, the 200% rise in violence and sexual offences is a critical data point, warranting attention to community safety measures in the coming months.

Bidford-on-Avon’s crime rate in November 2025 rose sharply from 3.1 to 6.6 per 1,000 residents, marking an 113.5% increase compared to the previous month. This surge, while notable, still places the area 9.6% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Locally, the monthly exposure figure reveals that over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 151 residents—a statistic that, while low, highlights the sudden spike in activity. Daily crime counts averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 7,098, underscores the disproportionate impact of the month’s specific events. The shift from October to November appears to reflect seasonal pressures, with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping likely contributing to heightened activity in certain crime categories. However, the area’s overall rate remains below the UK average, suggesting systemic factors—such as community engagement or policing strategies—may be sustaining lower baseline rates despite the recent uptick.
