Haslemere Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences emerged as the dominant crime category in Haslemere during November 2025, accounting for 30.2% of all reported incidents. This category, while significant locally, remained 53% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, illustrating a marked divergence from national trends. The area’s overall crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000—47.9% below the UK’s 7.3—positions it among the safest in the country, a pattern consistent with its character as a low-density built-up area within Waverley. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences followed, each contributing to a broader picture of community-focused crime that contrasts with the UK’s higher rates of property-related incidents. Seasonal factors, including the dark evenings of November and the residual effects of Black Friday shopping, may have influenced patterns. The relatively low incidence of vehicle crime (50% below the UK average) and burglary (67% below) further reinforces the area’s safety profile, possibly linked to its smaller population and limited retail presence compared to major urban centres. This data suggests a community where local policing and environmental factors likely contribute to sustained low crime rates, even during periods of heightened seasonal activity.

November 2025 saw a 300% increase in 'other theft' cases, rising from one to four incidents—a sharp contrast to the 75% drop in burglary, which fell from four to one. This shift suggests a possible reallocation of criminal activity away from residential properties toward less secure targets. Meanwhile, shoplifting decreased by 61.5%, potentially linked to the waning impact of Black Friday shopping. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, comprising 30.2% of all crimes, but their rate (1.2 per 1,000) was 53% below the UK average. This disparity underscores Haslemere’s unique profile, where violent crime is significantly underrepresented compared to national trends. The 100% increase in theft from the person—a rare occurrence—raises questions about transient activity patterns, though no direct links to seasonal factors like Bonfire Night are evident in the data.

Haslemere's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 40.3% compared to the previous month, reflecting a marked decline in reported incidents. This reduction positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents—nearly half the national average. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite seasonal factors. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 263 residents, a statistic that highlights the area’s overall safety profile. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the 11,301 residents of Haslemere experienced a crime rate that is consistently lower than the UK average, suggesting a combination of local policing strategies, community engagement, and the area’s character as a low-density built-up zone. The drop in property crimes, particularly shoplifting and burglary, aligns with the end of high-traffic periods like Black Friday, though this connection remains speculative without further data.
