Earl Shilton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 10,641 residents, Earl Shilton recorded 59 crimes in June 2025, translating to a crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 people. This figure is 32.1% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a significant deviation that underscores the area’s relative safety compared to the national context. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 52.5% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.9%) and other theft (8.5%). The crime profile for Earl Shilton in June 2025 reflects a pattern consistent with its built-up character within a commuter belt, where structured environments and regular pedestrian movement may contribute to lower crime rates. The slight increase in violent crime compared to the UK average (2.9 per 1,000 vs 2.9 per 1,000) is statistically negligible but suggests the area may experience localized pressures. Anti-social behaviour, however, was 51% below the UK average, linked to community engagement initiatives or the area’s proximity to Hinckley, which may foster stronger social cohesion. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role, as June’s longer days and the onset of summer tourism may have increased community vigilance, reducing opportunities for property crimes. This aligns with broader trends in similar areas, where increased daylight and public presence correlate with lower reported incidents. The data also highlights a shift in crime types, with violent offences dominating over property-related crimes, a trend that may reflect the area’s demographic composition or the effectiveness of local policing strategies. These patterns suggest that Earl Shilton’s crime profile is shaped by a combination of geographic, seasonal, and community-specific factors, rather than a singular cause.

June 2025 witnessed a 100% increase in ‘Other crime’ (from 1 to 2 incidents) and a 50% rise in ‘Criminal damage and arson’ (from 2 to 3). Conversely, burglary fell sharply by 75% (from 4 to 1), while shoplifting dropped by 40% (from 5 to 3). These changes reflect a broader shift in the crime mix, with violent crimes (52.5% of total) remaining the largest category, but property-related offences declining. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.9 per 1,000) was 1% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (0.7 per 1,000) was 51% below the national figure. This contrast highlights how local factors, such as community policing or seasonal tourism, may influence specific crime types. Residents may find the 40% drop in shoplifting particularly relevant, as it could indicate improved security measures or reduced foot traffic during June’s early summer period. The 75% decline in burglary, despite the area’s built-up nature, suggests possible improvements in property security or changes in offender behaviour during the month.

June 2025 saw Earl Shilton’s crime rate drop to 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a 24.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.3. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as summer’s longer days and increased community activity may contribute to a more visible and active public presence, deterring crime. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 2 crimes reported each day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 180 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which is not directly comparable due to the absence of national daily or monthly exposure data. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, for every 1,000 residents, the area experienced fewer crimes than the UK average, with violent crimes and anti-social behaviour forming the largest share of reported incidents. These figures suggest a relatively stable environment compared to the broader UK context, though local factors such as community engagement and seasonal tourism may play a role in maintaining this trend. The area’s built-up character within a commuter belt likely contributes to this stability, with infrastructure and regular foot traffic reducing opportunities for certain crime types. However, the slight increase in ‘Other crime’ may indicate gaps in enforcement or shifting patterns that warrant further observation.
