Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The built-up area of Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt continued to demonstrate a markedly low crime rate in November 2024, with an overall rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents—78.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure places the area in stark contrast to the national landscape, where crime remains a more persistent concern. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.7% of all incidents (5 out of 14), though this category saw a sharp decline of 70.6% compared to the previous month. The area’s crime profile is characterised by its dominance of property offences, which made up 57.1% of total crimes (8 out of 14), with criminal damage and arson contributing 21.4% (3 out of 14). Seasonal factors in November, such as the transition to darker evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night, may have influenced local patterns, though the overall trend remains one of stability. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, meaning the area’s rate of 0.6 per 1,000 is 77% below the national benchmark, underscoring the effectiveness of local policing or community dynamics in mitigating violent incidents. Despite the low overall rate, the area’s small population (9,002 residents) means that even minor fluctuations in crime can have a visible impact on residents’ perceptions of safety. The absence of major commercial hubs, transport networks, or high-density housing may contribute to the area’s consistently low crime profile, though further analysis would be required to confirm this hypothesis.

November 2024 saw a 70.6% decrease in violence and sexual offences, falling from 17 incidents in the prior month to 5. This decline is consistent with the broader trend of reduced violent crime in the area, which remains 77% below the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, other theft rose by 100% (0 → 1) and vehicle crime also increased by 100% (1 → 2), though both remain well below their respective UK averages. The crime mix shifted further towards property offences, which now account for 57.1% of all crimes (8 out of 14), compared to 35.7% for violent crimes. This shift may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased retail activity during Black Friday and the reduced visibility of public spaces during dark evenings. Criminal damage and arson remained at 21.4% of total crimes, a figure 47% below the UK average, suggesting that local efforts to deter vandalism have had a measurable impact.

Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt recorded a crime rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents in November 2024, a 54.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.4 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader trend of declining crime in the built-up area, which has maintained a consistently low profile compared to national averages. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 reported crimes per day over the month, reflecting the area’s minimal criminal activity. On a monthly basis, one crime occurred for every 643 residents, a figure that contextualises the low exposure to crime for local residents. This rate is particularly notable when compared to the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s distinct security profile. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that crime remains a rare occurrence in this community, with no significant spikes in any category. The combination of low population density, limited commercial activity, and the absence of high-traffic areas may contribute to this pattern, though the exact interplay of factors remains unclear.
