Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Enderby and Narborough's crime profile in November 2023 reveals a stark contrast between property and violent crime, with property-related offences dominating the monthly tally. At 9.1 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area's rate is 21.3% above the UK average, a figure that highlights the need for targeted interventions. The breakdown of crimes shows that property crimes—57 in total—accounted for over half of all incidents, significantly outpacing the 34 violent crimes recorded. This imbalance may be influenced by the area's character as a built-up district within Blaby, where retail and commercial activity could drive shoplifting and other property-related offences. Seasonal factors also play a role, with November's dark evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night contributing to increased crime in certain categories. For instance, shoplifting rose to 23 incidents, 245% above the UK average, which may be linked to Black Friday shopping activity or targeted retail areas. Meanwhile, violent crime, though lower in volume, remained 8% above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences making up 31.2% of all crimes. This suggests that while property crime dominates, violent crime remains a persistent concern. The data also shows that certain categories, like anti-social behaviour, are 71% below the UK average, indicating potential strengths in local community management or policing efforts. However, the sharp rise in drug-related incidents—doubling from one to two cases—raises questions about emerging trends, though the small sample size limits definitive conclusions. The month's context, including the timing of holidays and seasonal changes, may further influence these patterns, though direct causation cannot be confirmed without additional data.

November 2023 saw a notable shift in crime composition, with property crimes accounting for 57 incidents—over 52% of the total—compared to 34 violent crimes. This imbalance may reflect seasonal factors such as increased retail activity during Black Friday or heightened security measures in response to local patterns. Among property crimes, shoplifting surged to 23 incidents, 245% above the UK average, indicating a potential link to holiday shopping or targeted retail areas. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 70% (from 10 to 3), possibly due to reduced vehicle movement during darker evenings or improved parking security. Violent crime, though lower than property crime, remained 8% above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences comprising 31.2% of all crimes. This suggests that while property crime dominates, violent crime remains a persistent concern. The 100% increase in drug-related incidents—rising from 1 to 2—raises questions about local enforcement or shifting patterns, though the small number limits definitive conclusions.

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate in November 2023 stood at 9.1 per 1,000 residents, a slight 2.7% decrease from the previous month's 9.4 per 1,000. This marginal decline suggests some stabilization in local crime patterns, though the rate remains higher than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately four crimes per day, reflecting a consistent level of activity despite the month-on-month dip. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 110 residents, a figure that underscores the monthly exposure to crime for local households. While this rate is lower than the daily frequency of crimes in some larger urban areas, it remains a key consideration for residents. The population context—11,973 residents—means that each individual faces a calculated risk, though the overall numbers do not indicate a sharp increase in danger. This perspective highlights the need for ongoing community awareness and local policing efforts to address persistent issues.
