Huthwaite Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Huthwaite’s crime rate stood at 9.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 31.5% above the UK average of 7.3. This rate translates to one reported crime for every 104 residents over the course of the month, a figure that may feel more tangible when considered through the lens of daily life. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.3% of all incidents—nearly double the UK average for this category. This spike in violent crime aligns with the seasonal context of November, which includes darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night, potentially increasing opportunities for such incidents. Shoplifting and criminal damage followed closely, each contributing 11.5% of total crimes, with both categories significantly exceeding UK averages. The contrast between Huthwaite’s profile and the national picture suggests a built-up area with a higher concentration of retail spaces and public areas, where interactions may be more frequent and thus more prone to conflict or disorder. While the overall rate remains elevated, the breakdown of crime types offers insight into how local dynamics—such as the timing of Black Friday shopping and the seasonal shift in daylight hours—might influence patterns of criminal activity. direct causation, but the alignment with November’s specific rhythms makes it likely that these factors contribute to the observed trends.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with other theft rising by 300% and possession of weapons doubling compared to October. These jumps, though not reflected in overall crime type shares, highlight sudden spikes that may warrant closer attention. The category of other theft, which now accounts for 7.7% of total crimes, rose from one incident to four—a threefold increase that could be linked to the Black Friday shopping period, when retail areas see higher foot traffic and potential for opportunistic theft. Similarly, the doubling of weapons possession cases may be connected to seasonal factors. In contrast, vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour both declined, with anti-social behaviour falling by 50% to two incidents. This drop may reflect the quieter pace of life in November compared to the summer months, or changes in community engagement efforts. The category of violence and sexual offences, already significantly above the UK average, remained the most prevalent type, suggesting that the area’s crime profile is dominated by interpersonal conflicts rather than property-related offences. This mix of increases and decreases illustrates the volatility of crime rates in a small built-up area, where a single incident can shift statistics dramatically.

Huthwaite’s crime rate in November 2025 rose sharply from 5.9 per 1,000 in October to 9.6 per 1,000—a 62.5% increase that underscores a growing concern for residents. This rate translates to roughly two crimes reported per day, a figure that, while not alarmingly high in absolute terms, may feel more pressing in a small community where incidents are more visible. Over the course of the month, the average resident faced a 1-in-104 chance of being directly affected by a crime, a statistic that, when scaled to the area’s population of 5,420, highlights the tangible impact of these numbers on daily life. Compared to the UK average, Huthwaite’s violent crime rate is 60% higher, a disparity that may reflect the area’s compact nature, where public spaces are more concentrated and social interactions more frequent. The contrast with UK-wide trends is particularly stark in categories like criminal damage and arson, which are 108% above the national average. These figures suggest that local factors—such as the presence of older housing stock or the density of communal areas—may contribute to higher rates of property-related offences. While the overall rate remains elevated, the fluctuation between months illustrates the challenges of maintaining consistent crime prevention strategies in a dynamic environment.
