Cranleigh Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cranleigh's November 2025 crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents places the area 53.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscoring its position as a relatively safe built-up area within Waverley. The breakdown of crimes reveals a significant focus on violent offences, which accounted for 53.7% of all reported incidents (22 cases), followed by shoplifting (17.1%) and anti-social behaviour (14.6%). These figures suggest a community where interpersonal conflicts and retail-related incidents dominate the crime profile, though the rates for these categories remain lower than national benchmarks. For instance, violent crime in Cranleigh is 30% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 53% below, reflecting a combination of local policing efforts and the area's character as a more tranquil residential zone. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as November's extended evenings and events such as Bonfire Night could influence patterns of public order offences. However, the overall crime rate remains stable, with no significant spikes in property crimes or theft from the person. This consistency, despite the seasonal context, hints at effective community strategies in mitigating crime during periods of heightened activity. The data also indicates that shoplifting, while rising slightly, remains at a level (0.6 per 1,000) that is 5% below the UK average, suggesting that targeted interventions in retail areas may be contributing to this outcome. These trends, when viewed alongside the area's demographic and geographic profile, illustrate a locality where crime prevention measures are likely integrated with local rhythms, such as the timing of shopping events and community engagement activities.

November saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with vehicle crime plummeting by 91.7% (from 12 to 1) and other theft decreasing by 33.3% (from 3 to 2). These reductions suggest potential improvements in vehicle security measures or increased police patrols in parking areas. Conversely, public order offences surged by 100%, rising from 1 to 2 incidents, possibly linked to Bonfire Night activities. Violence and sexual offences also increased by 57.1%, from 14 to 22 cases, though this category remains 30% below the UK average. Shoplifting rose slightly by 16.7% (from 6 to 7), which may be attributed to Black Friday shopping patterns. The data also reveals that anti-social behaviour, at 0.5 per 1,000, is 53% below the UK average, indicating a community environment where such disturbances are less frequent. These shifts in crime dynamics highlight both areas of progress and emerging challenges that require targeted attention.

Cranleigh's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 31.6% decline from October's 5.0 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with broader trends observed in the area, where community engagement initiatives and increased police visibility during peak shopping periods may have contributed to lower incidents. On a daily basis, the local figure of one crime reported per day highlights a relatively low frequency of criminal activity, though this remains a snapshot rather than a definitive measure of safety. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 291 residents over the course of November. This statistic, while illustrative of the area's overall safety, should be contextualised within Cranleigh's population size and the nature of crimes recorded. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the likelihood of encountering crime in Cranleigh remains significantly lower than the UK average, reinforcing the area's status as a safer-than-average locality. These figures, when combined with the month-on-month reduction, suggest a sustained effort in crime prevention that may be influenced by both local policing strategies and seasonal factors.
