Groby Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Groby's crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents placed it 53.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime for every 287 residents over the course of the month. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all reported crimes, followed by burglary (12.5%) and public order offences (12.5%). This pattern contrasts with national trends where property crimes typically dominate. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended dark evenings—may partly explain the elevated share of violent crimes compared to other months. While violent crime rates in Groby were 34% below the UK average for this category, burglary rates were 18% above the national figure, suggesting local factors such as residential density or policing priorities could be influencing these patterns. The relatively low overall crime rate compared to the UK average indicates Groby's built-up area within Hinckley and Bosworth may benefit from a combination of community cohesion, effective local policing, or demographic characteristics that reduce opportunities for crime. However, the 50% share of violent offences highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where interpersonal conflicts may be more prevalent during the darker evenings of late autumn.

November 2023 saw a 50% increase in violence and sexual offences compared to October, rising from 8 to 12 incidents. This jump coincided with the timing of Bonfire Night and the pre-Christmas shopping period, when increased foot traffic and social gatherings may heighten opportunities for such crimes. Burglary also rose by 50%, with three incidents reported in November compared to two in October, though this remains below the UK average rate for the category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 71.4%, declining from seven to two incidents, potentially reflecting the impact of local enforcement efforts during key events. Public order offences also dropped by 25% compared to the UK average, though their relatively low incidence in Groby may be attributable to the area's character as a smaller built-up district with fewer public spaces that typically host large gatherings. Groby's violent crime rate was 34% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors—such as the absence of major nightlife districts or higher levels of community engagement—may be contributing to this disparity. However, the 18% above-average burglary rate indicates areas for further scrutiny, particularly as property crime trends often correlate with housing density and economic conditions.

Groby's crime rate in November 2023 was 3.5 per 1,000 residents, a 7.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.8 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, suggests a stabilisation in local crime patterns after a slight uptick in October. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day in November, a figure that may appear significant in isolation but must be contextualised within the broader population of 6,878 residents. Over the course of the month, this translated to one reported crime for every 287 residents—a rate that is lower than the UK average when considering the national figure of 7.5 per 1,000. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents of Groby face a substantially lower risk of experiencing crime compared to the average UK citizen, with the 53.3% gap between local and national rates underscoring the effectiveness of local policing or the area's demographic profile. However, the disparity in burglary rates—18% above the UK average—highlights a specific vulnerability that may warrant targeted interventions. These figures, while offering reassurance about overall safety, also indicate the need for a nuanced approach to crime prevention that addresses the particular challenges of property crime in this built-up area.
