Lutterworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Lutterworth's crime profile in November 2025 reveals a distinct balance of crime types that may reflect the area's character as a relatively small, built-up community within Harborough. With a crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents—28.8% below the UK average—the area demonstrates a consistently lower level of criminal activity compared to national trends. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.9% of all incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson (15.4%) and anti-social behaviour (12.3%). This distribution suggests a mix of interpersonal and property-related concerns, with the latter being influenced by local factors such as the presence of community spaces that may be vulnerable to vandalism. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, dark evenings, and the early shopping rush of Black Friday—may contribute to fluctuations in certain crime types. For instance, the high rate of criminal damage and arson (0.8 per 1,000) could be linked to the increased use of fireworks and the potential for property damage during public events. However, the area's lower violent crime rate compared to the UK average may be attributed to its smaller population and the absence of major urban features that typically drive higher rates of assault or sexual offences. The relatively low levels of burglary (0.6 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.5 per 1,000) further suggest that Lutterworth's compact nature and limited commercial density may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. These patterns illustrate how local geography, population size, and seasonal rhythms interact to shape the crime profile, even as broader national trends provide a contrasting backdrop.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 233.3% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from three to ten incidents. This surge contrasts sharply with a 21.4% drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 28 to 22. The shift in crime mix reflects a move towards property-related incidents, with property crimes (26) now outpacing violent crimes (22) for the first time this year. Lutterworth's violent crime rate (1.8 per 1,000) is 30% below the UK average, while criminal damage and arson (0.8 per 1,000) is 51% above the national figure. The 77.8% decrease in other theft, from nine to two incidents, suggests a possible reduction in petty crime in local retail areas. These changes may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the dark evenings of November and the timing of events like Bonfire Night.

Lutterworth's crime rate in November 2025 dropped to 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 5.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.5. This decline suggests a slight improvement in local safety, though the area remains significantly safer than the UK average of 7.3. On a daily basis, the community experiences approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area's relatively low overall crime rate. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 192 residents over the course of November—a statistic that highlights the manageable scale of criminal activity for the average resident. The population context further reinforces this, as Lutterworth's smaller size and lower density may contribute to the lower crime rate compared to larger urban centres. This combination of factors illustrates how local demographics and geographic characteristics can shape crime patterns, even within a broader national context.
