Frinton-on-Sea Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Frinton-on-Sea’s November 2025 crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents places it 47.9% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the area’s overall safety. This coastal resort, known for its tranquil environment and seasonal tourism, recorded 20 total crimes—a stark contrast to the national average of 7.3 per 1,000. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45% of all incidents, though this category remained 34% below the UK average. Shoplifting, however, emerged as a notable outlier, with seven incidents reported—106% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This spike may be attributed to the timing of Black Friday shopping, which often sees increased foot traffic in retail areas. Seasonal factors, including Bonfire Night and shorter daylight hours, likely influenced crime patterns. Anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime both saw significant declines, possibly linked to the holiday season’s quieter atmosphere. The data suggests that while Frinton-on-Sea’s crime profile is generally safe, targeted efforts—such as community policing during peak shopping periods—may be necessary to address specific anomalies like the shoplifting spike. The area’s low crime rate, combined with its seasonal characteristics, illustrates a community that, while not immune to crime, benefits from a combination of geographical isolation and proactive local measures.

November 2025 saw a 50% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from six to nine incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, raises questions about local factors such as seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Conversely, anti-social behaviour plummeted by 85.7%, from seven to one incident—a decline that may reflect heightened community vigilance during the festive period. Vehicle crime also dropped by 80%, from five to one, potentially linked to reduced traffic during the holiday season. Shoplifting rates in the area are 106% above the UK average, with seven incidents reported. This anomaly may be tied to Black Friday shopping activity, though the small number of cases suggests targeted efforts by local businesses or police to deter such crimes. The shift in crime mix—property crimes (shoplifting) now outpacing violent crimes—illustrates a change in the local crime profile, though the overall rate remains exceptionally low.

Frinton-on-Sea’s November 2025 crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents represents a 33.4% decline from the previous month’s 5.7 per 1,000. This drop aligns with seasonal patterns, as shorter days and colder weather may reduce outdoor activity, indirectly limiting opportunities for certain crimes. Over the 30 days of November, the area recorded an average of one crime per day—a figure that, while low, underscores the sporadic nature of criminal activity in this coastal community. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate means that one reported crime occurred for every 265 residents, a statistic that contextualises the low frequency of incidents relative to the area’s size. This contrasts with the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting Frinton-on-Sea’s consistently lower crime profile. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that residents here experience significantly fewer crimes than the national average, though localised spikes—such as the 50% rise in violence and sexual offences—require further attention.
