Thurmaston Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Thurmaston’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3. This improvement aligns with broader seasonal trends, as the area’s crime profile shifted from the heightened activity of October to a quieter period ahead of the Christmas holidays. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44.2% of all incidents (23 cases), followed by criminal damage and arson (19.2%, 10 cases) and burglary (11.5%, 6 cases). While violent crime rates in Thurmaston were 7% below the UK average, the area’s property crime categories showed mixed comparisons: criminal damage and arson were 89% above the national benchmark, while anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, and other theft categories were significantly below UK averages. This divergence may reflect local characteristics, such as the built-up area’s proximity to Charnwood’s natural spaces, which could contribute to higher incidents of arson during Bonfire Night, or its suburban layout, which may reduce opportunities for anti-social behaviour compared to denser urban environments. The balance between property and violent crime remained relatively even, with no single category dominating the overall rate. As November approached its end, the combination of shorter daylight hours and the pre-Christmas lull likely contributed to the observed reductions in anti-social and public order offences, though the increase in burglary suggests ongoing vulnerabilities in residential security that warrant attention.

November 2025 saw a marked reduction in anti-social behaviour, which dropped by 80% (15 to 3 incidents), alongside similar declines in public order (80%, 10 to 2) and other theft (71.4%, 7 to 2). These decreases may partly explain the overall 51.5% drop in the area’s crime rate compared to October, suggesting a potential seasonal calming of tensions in the built-up area. While property crimes (23 incidents) and violent crimes (23 incidents) remained evenly balanced, the category of criminal damage and arson stood out as 89% above the UK average (1.0 vs 0.5 per 1,000). This anomaly could reflect local factors such as the timing of Bonfire Night, which falls in November, increasing risks of fire-related incidents. Conversely, violence and sexual offences in Thurmaston were 7% below the UK average (2.4 vs 2.6 per 1,000), a statistic that may be influenced by the area’s suburban character and lower population density compared to major urban centres.

Thurmaston's crime rate in November 2025 fell sharply by 51.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 11.0 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the seasonal shift from the busy Halloween period to the quieter pre-Christmas phase, when community activity typically decreases. Locally, the average daily crime count stood at 2 incidents per day over 30 days, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile. When scaled to the population of 9,748, this translates to one reported crime for every 187 residents over the course of the month—a rate that highlights the area’s comparative safety. While this monthly exposure metric is lower than the UK average, the UK does not provide a comparable daily or monthly exposure figure for broader context. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that residents are statistically less likely to experience crime in Thurmaston than the national average, though local patterns in specific crime types remain distinct.
