Wrecclesham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Wrecclesham's crime picture in November 2025, accounting for 45.5% of the 11 reported crimes. This category, at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, sits 77% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The area's overall crime rate of 1.3 per 1,000 residents marks an 82.2% deficit compared to the UK's 7.3 per 1,000, reflecting a stark contrast with national trends. Anti-social behaviour and other theft follow as the next most common categories, each contributing 18.2% of total crimes. The low crime rate may partly explain the area's relatively quiet November, though seasonal factors like dark evenings and Bonfire Night could have influenced reporting patterns. Wrecclesham's built-up character within the rural Waverley district likely contributes to its lower crime profile, with fewer high-traffic commercial zones than larger urban centres. The absence of major retail hubs or nightlife areas may help explain the absence of shoplifting and vehicle crime typically seen in more densely populated regions. However, the small number of incidents means patterns remain fragile, with a single incident capable of shifting proportions significantly. The month's proximity to Black Friday shopping may have inadvertently reduced retail crime through fewer footfall opportunities.

November 2025 saw a notable 100% increase in burglary and shoplifting, both rising from zero to one incident each. This contrasts with a 33.3% decline in anti-social behaviour, which dropped from three to two incidents. Violence and sexual offences, though still the most common category, fell by 16.7% from six to five incidents, maintaining their position 77% below the UK average. The shift in crime mix highlights a move towards property-related offences, with property crimes (4 incidents) now accounting for 36.4% of total crimes compared to 45.5% for violent crimes in the previous month. Other theft also rose sharply, doubling from one to two incidents. The area's property crime rate of 0.4 per 1,000 residents is 61% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, suggesting strong local deterrence factors. For residents, the 100% increase in burglary may warrant heightened vigilance during dark winter evenings. The drop in anti-social behaviour could reflect seasonal changes in community activity, though further analysis would be needed to confirm.

Wrecclesham's crime rate in November 2025 (1.3 per 1,000) represents a 15.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 1.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area's historically low crime profile, with 82.2% fewer incidents than the UK average. On a daily basis, the 11 total crimes reported over 30 days equate to roughly 0 crimes per day, a figure that would be meaningful to residents considering local safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 745 residents, a ratio that underscores the area's comparative safety. With a population of 8,193, this means the likelihood of being directly affected by crime is exceptionally low. The previous month's rate of 1.6 per 1,000 suggests a slight but consistent downward trend, potentially influenced by seasonal factors such as reduced foot traffic during darker evenings. The UK-wide context highlights Wrecclesham's status as an outlier in terms of safety, with its crime rates dwarfing even the most secure urban areas. While the monthly exposure figure provides a useful benchmark, it should be interpreted as a general indicator rather than a precise risk assessment for individuals.
