Tendring Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Tendring recorded a crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 4.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure translates to a daily risk of approximately 37 crimes, or one reported incident for every 143 residents over the course of the month. The area's crime profile was dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 48.8% of all reported incidents—a rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents, 32% above the UK average. This category's prominence may be influenced by Tendring's role as a commuter hub, where high foot traffic in transport nodes and retail centres could contribute to higher rates of confrontational incidents. Criminal damage and arson followed, making up 8.7% of all crimes, with a rate of 0.6 per 1,000, 13% above the national average. This could reflect seasonal pressures, such as increased vandalism during Bonfire Night events. Anti-social behaviour, however, was 53% below the UK average, indicating effective community engagement or policing strategies in place. The month's seasonal context—dark evenings, Black Friday shopping, and the approach of winter—may have influenced crime patterns, with shoplifting rates (6.5% of total crimes) falling below the UK average by 21%. This could suggest that local retailers or residents are adopting measures to deter theft during the holiday period. The overall picture indicates a relatively stable crime environment, though the elevated rate of violent offences highlights areas for further attention.

November saw a 38.5% increase in possession of weapons, a rise that may reflect heightened tensions during the festive season or shifts in policing focus. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 44.4%, potentially linked to increased security measures around residential areas or changes in rider behaviour during colder weather. Vehicle crime rose by 24.0%, tied to the Black Friday shopping period and increased traffic in retail zones. Violent crimes in Tendring remain 32% above the UK average, with 3.4 per 1,000 residents affected—a rate that contrasts sharply with the UK's 2.6 per 1,000. This disparity may be influenced by local factors such as the area's demographic profile or the presence of high-traffic public spaces. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour incidents were 53% below the UK average, suggesting that community initiatives or effective policing strategies may be contributing to this lower rate.

Tendring's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 5.7% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.4 to 7.0 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in recent months, though the rate remains slightly below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, 37 crimes were reported across Tendring in November, a figure that contextualises the pace of activity in the area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while non-zero, reflects the relatively low overall crime rate compared to other parts of the UK. This statistic may help residents gauge their personal risk in relation to the population size, though local variations in crime distribution across neighbourhoods could influence individual experiences. The decrease from October suggests a possible stabilisation in crime trends, though month-on-month fluctuations are common in areas with seasonal activity patterns.
