Charnwood Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Charnwood’s overall crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a 19.2% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.3. This performance underscores a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime levels, reflecting the area’s broader safety profile. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.7% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.7%) and shoplifting (8.7%). These figures align with the seasonal context of November, a time when darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night may influence crime patterns. While violent crime remains the dominant category, its rate of 2.1 per 1,000 is 18% below the UK average, suggesting effective local initiatives or community engagement. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average by 34%, may be linked to the area’s mix of urban and rural environments, where public spaces require ongoing management. Shoplifting, at 0.5 per 1,000, is also below the UK average, reflecting strong retail security measures or lower foot traffic during the post-Black Friday period. The data illustrates a balanced approach to crime prevention, though the seasonal shift toward darker evenings could contribute to increased incidents in the coming months.

November 2025 saw significant decreases in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour dropping by 34.2% (199 → 131) and robbery plummeting by 57.1% (14 → 6). These reductions suggest potential success in targeted interventions, such as community policing or local initiatives addressing public disorder. Criminal damage and arson also fell by 30.7% (127 → 88), possibly linked to seasonal factors like the end of the festive shopping period reducing opportunities for such crimes. However, bicycle theft rose by 6.7% (30 → 32), a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, where Charnwood’s rate is 233% above. This discrepancy may reflect a growing cycling culture or gaps in bike security awareness. The crime mix also shows a clear split between property and violent crime, with property crimes accounting for 454 incidents (40.6% of total) and violent crimes at 388 (34.7%). This balance contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate, indicating a unique local dynamic. For residents, the sharp drop in robbery rates offers a tangible reassurance of improved safety, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or commercial zones.

Charnwood’s November 2025 crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 represents a 19.5% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.4, highlighting a consistent downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 37 crimes per day, a figure that, while not negligible, remains below the UK average when scaled to population size. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 169 residents, a ratio that places Charnwood among the safer local authority districts in the UK. This monthly exposure is particularly significant when compared to the UK average, where the equivalent figure would likely be higher. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that Charnwood’s crime prevention efforts are effectively mitigating risks, even as the area navigates seasonal challenges. For instance, the 34% reduction in anti-social behaviour compared to the UK average suggests that local strategies—such as community engagement or environmental design—may be more impactful than national benchmarks. However, the 33% above-average burglary rate (0.4 per 1,000) raises questions about specific vulnerabilities, possibly tied to housing stock or rural areas where burglaries are more common. These comparisons provide residents with context to assess their personal risk and understand how Charnwood’s profile diverges from broader UK trends.
