Quorndon Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Quorndon’s February 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents places it 25.4% below the UK average, a significant gap that reflects the area’s generally low crime profile. Property crimes dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 70% of all incidents, with criminal damage and arson making up 25.9% of the total. This category, at 1.3 per 1,000, is 171% above the UK average, indicating a localised issue that may stem from unmonitored public spaces or community tensions. Violent crimes.6 per 1,000, were 74% below the UK average, consistent with the seasonal context of February—a month characterised by reduced outdoor activity and limited social gatherings. The data also reveals a stark contrast in crime patterns: while property crimes such as vehicle theft and burglary remain elevated, violent crimes are subdued. This imbalance may be influenced by Quorndon’s built-up nature within Charnwood, where residential areas dominate and commercial activity is relatively limited. The absence of major transport hubs or nightlife venues likely contributes to the lower rates of violent crime compared to urban centres. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson suggests a need for targeted interventions in public spaces. February’s position as a winter month, with shorter days and colder temperatures, may have also played a role in shaping these patterns, though the exact drivers of the 600% increase in this category remain unclear.

February 2025 saw a dramatic 600% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one incident to seven. This spike, while unexplained, may reflect seasonal shifts or isolated incidents. Conversely, violence and sexual offences plummeted by 81.3%, from 16 to 3, a reduction that could be linked to colder weather reducing opportunities for such crimes. Other notable trends include a 100% rise in bicycle theft, bringing the rate to 0.2 per 1,000—300% above the UK average. This figure, though small, may point to vulnerabilities in local bike storage or security practices. Meanwhile, shoplifting increased by 100%, from one to two incidents, though it remains well below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted measures in areas such as public spaces and retail zones, where criminal damage and arson are concentrated.

Quorndon’s crime rate for February 2025 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a 9.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.5. This decline aligns with the seasonal context of February—a winter month marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—which may contribute to lower overall crime levels. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the persistence of localised issues. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 200 residents, highlighting the relatively low exposure compared to national averages. When scaled to Quorndon’s population of 5,412, this translates to a manageable risk profile for most residents. The reduction in violence and sexual offences by 81.3% suggests a possible seasonal or situational factor, such as colder weather deterring certain types of activity. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson raises questions about targeted vandalism or unaddressed community tensions, areas warranting closer attention.
