Kibworth Beauchamp and Harcourt Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime rate in Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt for April 2025 remained remarkably low, at 3.0 per 1,000 residents—61% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This built-up area, part of Harborough, continues to demonstrate a crime profile significantly safer than the national benchmark. The top two crime categories were violence and sexual offences (12 incidents, 44.4% of total) and property crimes (9 incidents, 33.3% of total), with violent crime rates at 1.3 per 1,000, 50% below the UK average. The seasonal context of April—Easter, spring weather, and increased outdoor activity—may have influenced patterns, though the overall stability in violent crime suggests that community dynamics or policing efforts are effective. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences, though lower than the UK average, showed a notable 200% increase in public order incidents, potentially tied to the Easter holiday’s impact on local gatherings. Vehicle crime and shoplifting, both rising from zero to three and one respectively, indicate a minor uptick in opportunistic crimes, linked to the spring season’s increased pedestrian and vehicular movement. The area’s low crime rate, despite these spikes, reinforces its status as a relatively safe environment, with property crimes and violent offences both significantly below national levels. This pattern may be attributed to the area’s smaller scale, quieter nature, and limited exposure to high-risk factors common in larger urban centres.

April 2025 marked a significant shift in specific crime categories, with public order offences surging by 200%—rising from one incident to three—likely linked to the Easter holiday’s increased foot traffic and community events. Shoplifting and vehicle crime both doubled from zero to one and zero to three respectively, suggesting a seasonal uptick in opportunistic thefts during spring. Meanwhile, burglary and other theft fell by 66.7% and 33.3%, respectively, indicating a possible reduction in targeted crimes. Violent crime remained stable, with the rate of 1.3 per 1,000 (44.4% of total crimes) sitting 50% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 25%, though it remains 77% below the UK average. These changes highlight a mixed picture: while public order and shoplifting spiked, other categories showed marked improvement. For residents, the drop in burglary is a notable positive, reflecting either improved security measures or a lower likelihood of such crimes in this quieter, built-up area.

April 2025 saw a slight decline in the area’s overall crime rate, falling from 3.1 to 3.0 per 1,000 residents—a 3.5% reduction. This continues a trend of relatively low crime levels compared to the UK average, which stood at 7.7 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged one incident per day over the month, a figure that reflects the small population and low overall activity in this built-up area. When scaled to the population of 9,002, the monthly exposure means that over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 333 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK average, which would equate to a much higher frequency in a comparable-sized area. The drop in burglary and other theft, combined with stable violent crime rates, suggests that community-focused policing and the area’s quieter nature may be contributing factors. These figures reinforce the perception of Kibworth Beauchamp and Harcourt as a relatively safe environment, where residents face far fewer risks than the national average.
