Enderby and Narborough Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate in January 2025 stood at 11.5 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 62% above the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This figure underscores a persistent challenge for local law enforcement, with the area's crime profile dominated by violence and sexual offences (34.1% of total incidents), shoplifting (17.4%), and anti-social behaviour (16.7%). The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period marked by reduced retail footfall and shorter days—may have contributed to the relative decrease in shoplifting, though this category remains far above national levels. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.9 per 1,000, are 55% above the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions in this area. Anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply in January, may reflect the challenges of winter months, when social isolation and limited outdoor activity can amplify tensions. The data also highlights that shoplifting in the area is 223% above the UK average, indicating a specific vulnerability that requires further scrutiny. While the overall crime rate remains concerning, the month's figures provide a nuanced picture of local dynamics, with some categories showing signs of decline amid broader challenges.

January 2025 saw a notable decline in shoplifting, with reported incidents dropping from 53 to 24—a 54.7% reduction. This decrease may partly reflect the post-holiday lull in retail activity and reduced footfall in local stores. Vehicle crime also fell sharply, with incidents dropping from six to one—an 83.3% decrease—potentially linked to shorter daylight hours deterring outdoor crime. In contrast, anti-social behaviour rose by 155.6%, jumping from nine to 23 incidents. This increase could be tied to the winter season, where confined spaces and reduced social opportunities may exacerbate tensions. Burglary also climbed by 50%, from six to nine, though this remains below the UK average for the category. Shoplifting in the area (2.0 per 1,000) is 223% above the UK average (0.6 per 1,000), highlighting a persistent challenge for local authorities.

Enderby and Narborough's crime rate in January 2025 (11.5 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 10.3% monthly decline from the previous month's 12.9 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as post-holiday periods often see lower retail footfall and fewer outdoor activities. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly four crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of January, one crime occurred for every 87 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the frequency of incidents within the population. While the overall rate remains significantly higher than the UK average, the month-on-month drop suggests that targeted efforts or seasonal lulls may have temporarily curtailed crime. The population context of 11,973 residents underscores the relative impact of these figures, with crime levels affecting the area compared to national benchmarks.
