This performance underscores the area’s effectiveness in maintaining public safety, even during a month traditionally associated with heightened activity due to events such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping.

Public order offences, while contributing 15% of the total, were 43% below the UK average, suggesting that community engagement efforts may be mitigating disruptive behaviour. Anti-social behaviour, at 10% of incidents, showed an 81% deficit compared to the UK rate, a trend consistent with the area’s low-profile character and relatively stable social environment. Other theft, which constituted 5% of reported crimes, was 84% below the UK average, reflecting the area’s limited commercial activity and lower exposure to theft opportunities. Seasonal factors, including the dark evenings of November and the potential for increased social gatherings, may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall decline in rates suggests that local initiatives have successfully counteracted these pressures. The combination of low property crime and controlled violent incidents highlights a balanced approach to safety, with the area’s built-up nature within Harborough likely contributing to its distinct crime profile.

November 2023 saw a marked decrease in property crimes, with only one reported incident compared to 13 violent crimes. This stark imbalance reflects a shift in the crime mix, where violent offences dominate at 65% of the total, significantly below the UK average for this category (46% below). The month-on-month analysis reveals sharp increases in specific categories: public order offences surged by 200% (from 1 to 3), anti-social behaviour doubled (from 0 to 2), and other theft rose by 100% (from 0 to 1). These fluctuations may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which could have temporarily heightened tensions in public spaces. Meanwhile, the rate of violence and sexual offences (1.4 per 1,000) remains 46% below the UK average, suggesting that local measures targeting violent crime have had a measurable impact. For residents, the low property crime rate offers reassurance, particularly during the Black Friday shopping period, when such incidents typically rise in other areas.

The crime rate in Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt for November 2023 stood at 2.2 per 1,000 residents, marking a 12.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in the area, where sustained efforts in community policing and local initiatives may have contributed to the reduction. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity compared to other regions. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 450 residents, underscoring the relatively low risk of personal involvement in crime for individuals living in the area. This figure, when contextualised against the local population of 9,002, suggests that the majority of residents experience minimal direct interaction with crime. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that the area’s crime profile remains significantly distinct from the UK average, with a 70.7% reduction in overall rates.
