Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,002 residents, 17 crimes reported in February 2025 equate to a crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 people — 71.6% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This places Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt among the safest areas in the country, with violent crimes accounting for the largest share of incidents (9 cases, or 52.9% of total crimes). The data illustrates a crime profile shaped by low overall activity, with property crimes comprising only 3 of the 17 reported incidents. Seasonal factors may partly explain this pattern, as winter months typically see reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in certain crime types. Violence and sexual offences, while the most common category, remain 57% below the UK average, a gap that is consistent with the area’s built-up, likely low-density nature. Public order offences and burglary also show significant underperformance compared to national averages, though the small numbers mean these figures must be interpreted cautiously. The absence of major spikes in any category suggests a stable, low-crime environment, though the limited data available means broader conclusions about the area’s safety must remain tentative.

February 2025 marked a notable shift in crime patterns, with public order offences doubling from one to two incidents — a 100% increase — and other crime categories rising from zero to one. This uptick in public order issues may reflect increased community activity during the winter season, though no definitive causal link is established. Conversely, anti-social behaviour incidents fell by 80% compared to January, from five to one, suggesting a possible seasonal lull in such disturbances. Violent crimes, which accounted for 52.9% of all incidents, remained 57% below the UK average, a stark contrast to national trends. The category of burglary also saw a 33.3% reduction, from three to two incidents, though it remained 26% below the UK average. These figures underscore the area’s consistently lower crime rates compared to the UK, with violent crime and public order issues emerging as the most prominent concerns in February.

February 2025 saw a 29.2% drop in the area’s crime rate compared to January, reflecting a downward trend that may align with seasonal patterns typical of winter months. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 530 residents — a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents relative to the area’s population of 9,002. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a statistic that, while seemingly high, must be considered in the context of the built-up nature of Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt. This daily rate contrasts sharply with the UK average, which is significantly higher, though direct comparisons are not provided for daily figures. The monthly exposure rate of 1-in-530 residents highlights the relatively safe environment in this part of Harborough, though this is a localised measure and not directly comparable to national statistics. The reduction in crime from the previous month may also be influenced by factors such as reduced outdoor activity during winter.
