Cam's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3. This marked improvement reflects a broader trend of reduced violence and sexual offences, which fell from 19 incidents in the previous month to 11—a 42.1% decrease. The area’s crime profile remains shaped by seasonal factors, with Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings likely influencing patterns of public order and anti-social behaviour. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 29% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 23.7%, highlighting the persistent role of interpersonal disputes in local crime dynamics. The reduction in violent crime may align with increased community engagement during the festive season. Anti-social behaviour, while still below the UK average for most categories, rose sharply by 350% month-on-month, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic areas. The overall drop in crime rates aligns with Cam’s character as a largely rural built-up area, where community cohesion and lower population density typically correlate with lower crime levels. However, the sharp increase in anti-social behaviour underscores the challenges of managing social interactions in shared spaces during darker winter months.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 42.1% reduction in violence and sexual offences, bringing the count from 19 to 11—a significant shift in the area’s crime profile. This decline, coupled with a 40% decrease in burglary, suggests improved community safety measures or heightened police presence during the month. Conversely, anti-social behaviour surged by 350%, rising from 2 to 9 incidents, indicating a possible link to the closure of local venues or increased social gatherings during Bonfire Night. Public order offences also doubled, reaching 4 incidents, which may reflect the challenges of managing crowd behaviour in the area’s more populated zones. Cam’s rate for violence and sexual offences (1.3 per 1,000) is 49% below the UK average, highlighting a consistent strength in reducing serious crimes. However, burglary remains 33% above the UK average, pointing to vulnerabilities in residential security that warrant further attention. The 66.7% drop in other theft, from 3 to 1 incident, may be attributable to increased retail vigilance during Black Friday.

Cam’s crime rate in November 2025 remained stable compared to the previous month, falling slightly by 2.6% to 4.5 per 1,000 residents from 4.6. This small decline, while modest, reinforces the area’s position as one of the UK’s safest built-up regions. On a daily basis, Cam recorded approximately 1 crime per day in November, a figure that, when scaled to its population of 8,519 residents, equates to one reported crime for every 224 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which typically sees one resident affected by crime every 140 residents. The population context further underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community initiatives in maintaining low crime levels. However, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour and public order offences highlights the need for ongoing efforts to address transient social issues. For residents, the 38.4% gap between Cam’s crime rate and the UK average serves as a reminder of the area’s relative safety, though vigilance in managing emerging trends remains critical.
