Corsham Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Corsham's crime rate for November 2025 remains markedly lower than the UK average, with 3.3 crimes per 1,000 residents compared to 7.3 nationally—a gap of 54.8%. This continued divergence from national trends suggests a combination of local factors, including the area's rural character and limited urban density, which may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 48.5% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (15.2%) and public order offences (12.1%). These figures align with the seasonal context of November, a month marked by darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night, which may influence public order and anti-social behaviour patterns. Violent crime rates in Corsham are 38% below the UK average for this category, while anti-social behaviour is 53% below the national rate. This suggests that local policing strategies, community cohesion, or the built-up area's specific demographics may play a role in maintaining lower levels of these crimes. The relatively low property crime rate—only 6 incidents across the month—further underscores the area's distinct profile, contrasting with national trends where property crime often constitutes a larger share of total offences. The seasonal context of November, with its shorter daylight hours and community events, likely contributes to the mix of crime types observed. This data illustrates a consistent pattern of lower crime rates in Corsham compared to the UK, with violent and public order offences forming the core of the local crime picture.

November 2025 saw a 5.9% decrease in violence and sexual offences, from 17 to 16 incidents, marking a sustained reduction in this category. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 28.6%, falling from 7 to 5 reported cases, a shift that may reflect the impact of local initiatives or seasonal factors such as the winding down of university term activities. However, two categories rose: possession of weapons increased by 100% (from 0 to 1 incident), and vehicle crime doubled from 1 to 2 cases. These increases, though small in absolute terms, warrant attention, particularly as vehicle crime is 50% below the UK average and weapon possession is 43% above. The crime mix in Corsham remains heavily skewed towards violent and public order offences, with these categories accounting for 60.6% of all reported crimes—significantly higher than the UK average, where property crime typically dominates. This contrast highlights the area's unique profile, where community-based policing or the built-up area's characteristics may influence the types of incidents that occur. For residents, the 53% reduction in anti-social behaviour compared to the UK average offers a tangible indicator of local success in managing this category, even as smaller increases in other areas require monitoring.

Corsham's November 2025 crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents marks a 10.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.7, reflecting a continued downward trend. This monthly decline translates to a daily crime count of approximately 1 incident per day over the 30-day period, a figure that appears relatively low when compared to the area's population of 10,057. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 305 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average, though specific national comparisons for this metric are not available. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Corsham's residents face a crime risk that is less frequent than the national average, with the area's 54.8% deficit in the overall crime rate underscoring this disparity. This context is further reinforced by the fact that violent crime in Corsham is 38% below the UK average, and anti-social behaviour is 53% below, suggesting that local conditions—whether through community engagement, policing presence, or demographic factors—contribute to this lower risk profile. While the daily crime count may seem minimal, the absolute number of incidents (33) still requires attention, particularly in light of the small increases observed in certain categories. The combination of these figures illustrates an area where crime remains a low priority compared to national trends, but where targeted efforts may still be needed to address emerging patterns.
