Jaywick Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Jaywick's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 11.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 60.3% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This elevated rate is driven by a combination of factors, including a high incidence of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46.7% of all reported crimes. The area's crime profile reflects a combination of local dynamics, with anti-social behaviour and criminal damage and arson also contributing significantly to the overall rate. Seasonal factors may play a role in these patterns, as November's dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night could exacerbate certain types of crime, particularly those involving public spaces. The high rate of violence and sexual offences—5.5 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000—suggests that Jaywick faces specific challenges in addressing community safety. This may be linked to the area's demographic composition, as built-up areas within rural districts often experience higher rates of violent crime due to concentrated populations and limited policing resources. Meanwhile, the relatively low rate of shoplifting—0.2 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000—could indicate that local retail strategies or community engagement initiatives are effective in deterring such offences. The overall crime picture highlights the need for targeted interventions, particularly in reducing violent crime, while also leveraging successful practices in other categories to maintain the downward trend observed in some areas.

November 2025 saw a 300% increase in vehicle crime, rising from one to four incidents, a stark jump that may reflect seasonal changes or increased activity during dark evenings. Public order offences also surged by 100%, with three reported cases, a shift that could be linked to Bonfire Night events or heightened tensions in local spaces. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, dropping from eight to four incidents, due to increased community monitoring or seasonal factors. Violence and sexual offences, while still the most common crime type, decreased by 28.2% compared to the previous month, a decline that may indicate the effectiveness of local interventions or changes in community dynamics. Jaywick's rate of violence and sexual offences is 114% above the UK average, a figure that underscores the area's unique challenges. Meanwhile, shoplifting remained 68% below the UK average, suggesting that local retail strategies or community engagement may be mitigating this type of crime.

Jaywick's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 10.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 13.1 to 11.7 per 1,000 residents. This decline, though modest, reflects a broader shift in the local crime profile. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that highlights the persistent presence of criminal activity despite the downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 85 residents, underscoring the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 5,122. This monthly exposure rate provides context for residents, illustrating that while the overall rate has decreased, the impact of crime remains tangible. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that Jaywick's crime rate remains significantly higher than the UK average, a disparity that may be influenced by local factors such as demographic composition, economic conditions, or geographic vulnerabilities. This comparison invites further analysis of how local conditions interact with national crime patterns.
