Kingswinford Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kingswinford’s crime rate for November 2025 stood at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 41.1% below the UK average of 7.3. This marked improvement reflects a sustained trend in the area’s crime profile, particularly in violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 40% of all crimes. These incidents, at 1.7 per 1,000 residents, were 34% below the UK average, a figure consistent with the area’s lower population density and the presence of community-focused initiatives. Vehicle crime, the second most common category, rose slightly to 0.7 per 1,000 residents, though this remained 75% above the UK average, likely influenced by the area’s proximity to major transport routes and commuter activity. Seasonal factors also played a role: the decline in shoplifting by 61.5% may be linked to the post-Black Friday lull in retail activity, while the drop in anti-social behaviour (63.6%) could reflect the impact of local enforcement during Bonfire Night. However, the sharp rise in possession of weapons—up 500% from one to six cases—raises questions about targeted interventions, though this category remains below the UK average by 43%. The overall pattern suggests a balance between localized pressures and broader systemic factors, with the area’s built-up nature and historical infrastructure contributing to both opportunities for crime and the capacity for community-driven prevention.

November saw a 61.5% decrease in shoplifting, from 39 to 15 incidents, marking one of the most significant monthly declines. This drop may partly explain the overall 10.5% reduction in the area’s crime rate. Conversely, possession of weapons surged by 500%, rising from one to six incidents—a stark contrast to the usual trend. Theft from the person also increased sharply, tripling from one to four cases, though this remains well below the UK average. The crime mix shifted notably: while violence and sexual offences accounted for 40% of all crimes, property crimes (vehicle crime, burglary) collectively made up 35.9%, reflecting a slight increase in property-related incidents compared to the previous month. Violence and sexual offences in Kingswinford were 34% below the UK average, a consistent pattern that may be influenced by the area’s lower population density and community-focused policing strategies.

Kingswinford's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 10.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 4.8 to 4.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area’s crime statistics over recent months. On a daily basis, the local rate translates to approximately seven crimes reported each day, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 234 residents over the course of November—a rate that remains significantly lower than the UK average. The population context further underscores this: with 51,421 residents, the scale of the monthly total (220 crimes) highlights the manageable nature of crime in this built-up area. This consistency in low rates, even amid seasonal fluctuations, suggests a stable environment where community efforts and policing may be effectively mitigating risks.
