Rickmansworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences in Rickmansworth during November 2025 stood at 2.3 per 1,000 residents, 11% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This category, which accounted for 39.3% of all recorded crimes, marked a stark contrast to the area’s overall crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 — 19.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. The town’s crime profile reflects a balance between property and violent crime, with anti-social behaviour (11.9%) and other theft (10.4%) also prominent. Seasonal factors likely influenced these patterns, as November’s dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night may have contributed to fluctuations in public order offences. While retail-focused crimes such as shoplifting (10.4%) remained relatively low, the absence of theft from the person (0.7%) — 100% below the UK average — suggests effective local policing or community measures. Rickmansworth’s position as a commuter town within Three Rivers may also shape crime trends, with fewer instances of burglary (3.0%) compared to the UK average. However, the slight increase in vehicle crime (5.2%) and public order offences (8.2%) indicates ongoing challenges in managing traffic-related incidents and public spaces during colder months.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in Rickmansworth’s crime mix, with vehicle crime surging by 133.3% (3 → 7) — a likely reflection of increased traffic during Black Friday shopping. Public order offences also rose sharply, increasing by 120.0% (5 → 11), potentially linked to Bonfire Night events and extended evenings. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 54.3% (35 → 16), possibly due to heightened community engagement or seasonal changes in public activity. The town’s violent crime category remained below the UK average, with other theft and shoplifting rates also aligning closely with or under national benchmarks. A resident would find the 100% reduction in theft from the person (from 2 to 1) particularly noteworthy, as it suggests targeted efforts in high-risk areas. Meanwhile, the 18% increase in other theft (14 cases) compared to the UK average highlights a specific vulnerability in property crime management. These fluctuations underscore the need for adaptive policing strategies that address both seasonal spikes and persistent low-level offences.

Rickmansworth’s November 2025 crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 marked a 6.4% increase from the previous month’s rate of 5.5 per 1,000, reflecting a gradual upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day — a figure that, while low, indicates consistent local policing efforts. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 171 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than many comparable urban areas. This statistic, when contextualised with the town’s population of 23,086, suggests a relatively safe environment despite the rise in specific categories like vehicle crime. The comparison to the UK average further illustrates Rickmansworth’s position as a low-crime area, particularly in violent and anti-social behaviour categories. However, the 18% increase in other theft compared to the UK average highlights a need for targeted interventions. These figures, when viewed alongside the area’s commuter town dynamics, suggest that while systemic challenges persist, local strategies have effectively mitigated broader crime trends.
