Moor Park Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 marked a complex shift in Moor Park's crime dynamics, with an 11.0% increase in the overall crime rate to 3.4 per 1,000 residents. This rate remains 55.8% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a gap that underscores the area's generally safer profile compared to national trends. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast between violent and property crime trends: violence and sexual offences accounted for 50% of all incidents, a category where Moor Park's rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 36% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime is a growing concern in the area, it remains relatively contained compared to broader national patterns. Property crimes, however, tell a different story—burglary, at 0.9 per 1,000, is 200% above the UK average, indicating a specific vulnerability in this category. The seasonal context of October, with its shorter days and Halloween-related activity, may have contributed to the rise in violent crime, as darker evenings could have increased opportunities for such incidents. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, doubling to 2 incidents, though this remains significantly below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, fell by 33.3%, a decrease that aligns with the UK's broader trend in this category. The interplay between these trends highlights the importance of understanding local factors, such as the built-up nature of Moor Park and its proximity to Three Rivers, which may influence crime patterns differently than more rural or urban areas. The relatively low overall crime rate, combined with the specific spikes in certain categories, suggests a need for targeted interventions in property crime prevention while maintaining efforts to address the rise in violence.

October 2025 saw a 100% rise in violence and sexual offences, with 10 incidents reported—double the September total. This surge, though not uncommon for the area, aligns with October's darker evenings and Halloween-related activity. Burglary rates also spiked sharply, increasing by 400% (from 1 to 5 incidents), a figure that exceeds the UK average by 200%. This anomaly may be linked to seasonal factors such as increased home occupancy during the school term, or temporary vulnerabilities in property security. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 33.3%, dropping from 3 to 2 incidents—a decrease consistent with the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, rising from 1 to 2 incidents, suggesting a possible correlation with increased foot traffic during the month. Residents might find the 100% increase in violent crime particularly concerning, as it contrasts sharply with the area's typically low violent crime profile.

Moor Park's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 11.0% compared to September, moving from 3.1 to 3.4 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in the crime profile. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 292 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in this built-up area. When placed against the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, Moor Park remains significantly safer, with its rate 55.8% below the national benchmark. This contrast is particularly striking in violent crime, where Moor Park's rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 36% below the UK average. However, the area's burglary rate is 200% above the UK average, highlighting a specific vulnerability. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is low, targeted interventions may be needed to address the disproportionate rise in property crimes.
