Kibworth Beauchamp and Harcourt Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt maintained a crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000, a figure that is 75.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national trends, particularly in categories such as violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 37.5% of all crimes. The low overall crime rate aligns with the area’s character as a built-up district within a largely rural district of Harborough, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to reduced opportunities for criminal activity. Seasonal factors, including the timing of Bonfire Night and the transition into darker evenings, likely played a role in the 23.6% reduction in crime from the previous month. The breakdown of crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences, while remaining a significant category, have seen a marked decline, potentially linked to reduced public gatherings and increased community vigilance. Property crimes, including shoplifting and burglary, remain exceptionally low, with rates 80–84% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives or environmental design may be reinforcing deterrence. However, the rise in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage highlights the need for targeted strategies to address emerging issues without compromising the area’s overall safety profile. The low crime rate, combined with the area’s demographic and geographic characteristics, illustrates a community that, while not immune to challenges, consistently demonstrates resilience in maintaining public order.

November saw a 45.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 11 to 6 incidents—a shift that may reflect the impact of seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced public gatherings. Other theft also fell by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, suggesting improved security measures or reduced opportunities for such crimes. However, anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and arson, and other crime each rose by 100%, indicating a potential increase in local tensions or unaddressed issues in the community. The area’s violence and sexual offences rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 73% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, highlighting a consistent safety advantage. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted interventions in areas where incidents have increased, while the overall decline in violent crime offers a positive indicator for community safety. The property crime rate, at 0.5 per 1,000, is 84% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, a figure that suggests effective community policing or environmental design measures may be contributing to this trend.

The crime rate in Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt fell by 23.6% from 2.3 per 1,000 in the previous month to 1.8 per 1,000 in November 2025, reflecting a continued downward trend. Over the 30-day period, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area within Harborough. On a population-scaled basis, one reported crime occurred for approximately every 563 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that highlights the sparse distribution of criminal activity across the population. This low rate contrasts sharply with the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, though the comparison section focuses solely on local context. The area’s crime profile remains exceptionally low, with residents facing a significantly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the national average. The reduction in overall crime rate may be partly explained by seasonal factors, such as the transition into darker evenings and the timing of events like Bonfire Night, which could have influenced local behaviour and policing efforts. The built-up nature of the area, combined with its proximity to rural surroundings, likely contributes to a unique balance between community engagement and spatial isolation that affects crime dynamics.
