Charnwood Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Charnwood’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 19.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects a persistent trend of lower-than-average crime levels, particularly in categories such as violence and anti-social behaviour, which accounted for the largest shares of reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, contributing 34.7% of total crimes, though their rate (2.1 per 1,000) was 18% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, with a rate of 0.7 per 1,000 and a 34% deficit compared to the national figure. These reductions may be partially attributed to seasonal factors, such as the dimming of daylight in November, which could discourage outdoor activity and thus reduce opportunities for certain crimes. However, the data also reveals areas of concern, including burglary (0.4 per 1,000) and bicycle theft (0.2 per 1,000), which both exceeded UK averages by 33% and 233%, respectively. The latter’s sharp increase might be linked to the timing of Black Friday shopping, which could have incentivised theft in retail areas. Meanwhile, public order offences (0.5 per 1,000) were 6% above the UK average, a minor but notable deviation that may reflect local events or community interactions. These patterns illustrate the nuanced nature of crime in Charnwood, where some categories benefit from proactive measures while others require targeted attention. The overall context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, the pre-Christmas shopping rush, and the transition into darker evenings—adds layers of complexity to the crime picture, suggesting that both environmental and socioeconomic factors play a role in shaping local trends.

November 2025 saw a marked reduction in anti-social behaviour, with incidents falling by 34.2% to 131 from 199 in October. This decline, combined with a 57.1% drop in robbery cases (from 14 to 6), suggests a potential shift in community dynamics or the success of targeted interventions. While violent crime remained the most common category (34.7% of total incidents), its rate of 2.1 per 1,000 was 18% below the UK average, indicating a continued emphasis on addressing public safety concerns. A notable exception was burglary, which rose 33% above the UK average despite a 7.0% share of total crimes. Meanwhile, bicycle theft increased by 6.7% (30 to 32), a figure that is 233% above the national average, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night or the timing of Black Friday shopping. These contrasts illustrate the combination of local and national crime trends, with certain categories benefiting from sustained efforts while others require closer attention.

Charnwood’s November 2025 crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 19.5% decline from the previous month’s 7.4 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. This reduction aligns with broader patterns observed in the area’s crime profile, where property and violent crimes have historically balanced differently compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, 37 crimes were reported in November, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the local community. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 169 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the relatively low exposure to crime compared to other regions. This rate, while modest, underscores the effectiveness of ongoing local initiatives in maintaining public safety. The population context further reinforces that Charnwood’s crime statistics are proportionally lower than national benchmarks, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour and violence, which are both significantly below UK averages. These figures provide a tangible measure of security for residents, offering reassurance that crime prevention strategies are yielding measurable results.
