Moor Park Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Moor Park's December 2025 crime profile reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences comprising 50% of total reported incidents. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where such crimes account for 42% of all recorded offences. The area's overall crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents—55.7% below the UK average—suggests a combination of geographic and demographic factors that likely contribute to its safety record. As a built-up area within Three Rivers, Moor Park's relatively low crime rate may be influenced by its compact, residential character and proximity to larger urban centres. The dominance of violence and sexual offences (9 cases) over property crimes (6 cases) is unusual for a small built-up area, potentially reflecting local social dynamics or seasonal pressures. December's typical patterns—dark evenings, Christmas shopping activity, and empty homes during holidays—may have intensified interpersonal conflicts while reducing opportunities for property crimes. Vehicle crime, at 0.5 per 1,000, is 35% above the UK average, due to local parking patterns or increased vehicle visibility in residential areas. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and burglary rates are significantly below UK averages, indicating effective community management or lower population density. The data also highlights an anomaly in bicycle theft, which is 300% above the UK average, a figure that may require targeted local interventions given the holiday season's impact on cycling activity and storage practices.

December 2025 saw sharp increases in three categories: other theft, anti-social behaviour, and bicycle theft, each doubling from November's figures. This shift in crime mix suggests a seasonal influence, with the holiday period potentially contributing to unsecured property and increased foot traffic in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type (50% of total), but at 1.5 per 1,000, this rate is 42% below the UK average for the same category. Conversely, bicycle theft surged 300% above the UK average (0.2 vs 0.1 per 1,000), possibly linked to festive cycling activity or temporary storage challenges. The 66.7% drop in drug-related crimes from November to December may reflect seasonal patterns, though this is not explicitly tied to local factors. Residents should be aware that while overall crime remains low, the rise in bicycle theft highlights a specific vulnerability during peak holiday periods.

Moor Park's crime rate in December 2025 rose 12.4% from 2.7 to 3.1 per 1,000 residents compared to November. below the UK average. On a daily basis, 1 crime was reported per day over the 31-day period, a figure that translates to a local monthly exposure of 1 in 325 residents. This rate is exceptionally low when compared to the UK's overall average, reflecting Moor Park's status as a relatively safe built-up area. The population context further underscores this: with 5,842 residents, the monthly exposure metric suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly. While the increase from November is notable, the absolute numbers remain minimal, with just 18 total crimes reported in December. This consistency with the area's historical trend of low crime rates indicates that local factors—such as the built-up nature of Moor Park within Three Rivers—likely contribute to its sustained safety record compared to larger urban centres.
