Earl Shilton Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a notable shift in Earl Shilton’s crime profile, with the overall rate of 5.5 crimes per 1,000 residents placing the area 24.7% below the UK average. This continued trend of lower-than-average crime rates reflects the area’s character as a built-up community within Hinckley and Bosworth, where commercial and retail activity may drive certain types of crime but also benefit from local policing efforts. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 31% of all reported crimes, though they were 34% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 19% of incidents, and was itself 6% below the national benchmark. The seasonal context of November—marked by the transition to darker evenings, the absence of major public events beyond Bonfire Night, and the early stages of Black Friday shopping—likely influenced patterns. For example, the drop in public order offences may be partly explained by reduced street-level activity during the month, while the increase in ‘other crime’ remains an anomaly requiring further analysis. Earl Shilton’s crime profile suggests a balance between routine local challenges and a generally safer environment compared to the UK as a whole.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in November 2025 was the 150% increase in ‘other crime’, rising from two to five incidents. This category, which includes non-specific or unclassified offences, saw an unprecedented jump. Conversely, public order offences fell by 90.9%, dropping from 11 to 1, a stark contrast that may reflect reduced activity during November’s darker evenings compared to October’s Bonfire Night. The category of ‘other theft’ also declined sharply, down 66.7% from nine to three incidents, possibly linked to seasonal retail patterns and the absence of large-scale events. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 31% of all crimes, though they were 34% below the UK average. This divergence underscores Earl Shilton’s distinct profile compared to the national trend, where such offences typically dominate. A resident would find the 1-in-183 monthly exposure rate particularly informative, illustrating the relatively low frequency of crime in this built-up area.

Earl Shilton’s crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 26.5% compared to the previous month, falling from 7.4 to 5.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area’s historically lower crime profile relative to the UK average, though seasonal factors likely played a role. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day during November, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area’s built-up character and proximity to Hinckley’s retail and commercial hubs. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 183 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, which typically sees one crime for every 136 residents. The reduction in public order offences—down 90.9% from October—suggests a potential seasonal effect, possibly linked to the absence of major events in November compared to the preceding month’s Bonfire Night. However, the sharp rise in ‘other crime’ by 150% remains an outlier, requiring further scrutiny to identify specific contributing factors.
