Ramsgate Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ramsgate's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a striking imbalance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 42% of all incidents. This dominance of violent crime—4.3 per 1,000, 67% above the UK average—contrasts sharply with the relatively low rate of vehicle crime, which stands at 0.3 per 1,000, 25% below the national average. The overall crime rate of 10.3 per 1,000, 41.1% above the UK average, underscores a localised challenge in addressing public safety concerns. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.6 per 1,000, also exceeds the UK average by 51%, suggesting a broader pattern of disorderly conduct that may be exacerbated by the area's seasonal rhythms. November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, likely contributes to the spike in violent and anti-social incidents, though the persistence of shoplifting—1.0 per 1,000, 59% above the UK average—points to ongoing retail crime pressures. The high proportion of violent crimes may reflect the area's character as a coastal town with a mix of residential and commercial zones, where late-night activity and transient populations could increase exposure to such incidents. The relatively low rates of burglary and vehicle crime, despite the area's built-up nature, suggest that local initiatives or environmental factors may be mitigating these risks. However, the sharp rise in burglary (100% increase from 8 to 16 cases) and bicycle theft (100% increase from 2 to 4 cases) indicates vulnerabilities in specific areas, such as parking lots or unsecured properties, that warrant further attention.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in specific crime categories, with burglary and bicycle theft both doubling compared to the previous month. This surge may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, which can heighten opportunities for theft. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 31.3%, a decline that contrasts with the UK average where vehicle crime remains stable. The crime mix also reveals stark disparities: violence and sexual offences dominate at 42% of all crimes, far exceeding the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This imbalance suggests a localised pressure on public safety that extends beyond typical regional patterns. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, with a 51% increase over the UK average, potentially reflecting the impact of dark evenings and seasonal events. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas, such as the town centre, where retail and nightlife activity may contribute to higher rates of violent and disorderly conduct.

Ramsgate's crime rate in November 2025 remained stable at 10.1 per 1,000, reflecting a 1.9% increase from the previous month. This suggests a relatively consistent pattern of crime activity, with no dramatic shifts in overall reporting. Daily crime statistics show an average of 14 crimes reported each day, highlighting the persistent nature of criminal activity in the area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 97 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. With a population of 41,981, this translates to a measurable but not overwhelming level of crime, particularly when compared to the UK average. The stability in the crime rate may partly explain the lack of significant spikes in specific categories, though the distribution of crime types reveals a combination of local factors and broader trends.
