Hinckley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The balance between property and violent crime in Hinckley during November 2025 reveals a nuanced picture of local dynamics. With 133 violent crimes reported compared to 127 property crimes, the area’s crime profile shows a slight lean towards violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 39.2% of all incidents. This dominance of violent crime, despite an overall rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents—11% below the UK average—suggests a complex interaction between community factors and seasonal pressures. The month’s timing, with Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, may have influenced patterns, particularly in public spaces where anti-social behaviour (10.9% of total crimes) and public order offences (8.0%) were notable. Meanwhile, burglary (10.3% of total crimes) stood out as significantly higher than the UK average, with 35 incidents reported compared to the national rate of 0.3 per 1,000. This discrepancy could reflect local vulnerabilities in residential areas or unmet demand for property crime prevention. The relatively low rates of shoplifting (5.3%) and theft from the person (0.6%) contrast with the UK average, indicating effective policing in retail zones or a lower incidence of opportunistic theft. Seasonal factors, such as reduced daylight and the proximity of winter holidays, may have contributed to a higher proportion of violent incidents, though this remains consistent with broader UK trends. The data highlights the need to address specific vulnerabilities, such as burglary, while maintaining efforts to manage the broader spectrum of violent crime.

November 2025 saw stark shifts in crime trends, with burglary rates surging by 66.7% (from 21 to 35 incidents), the most significant increase across all categories. This jump, which places Hinckley’s burglary rate at 133% above the UK average, suggests a pressing concern for residential security, possibly linked to seasonal vulnerabilities such as increased home occupancy during the festive period or gaps in local policing. Conversely, theft from the person plummeted by 60% (from 5 to 2 incidents), a decline that may be attributed to heightened awareness around Black Friday shopping or targeted measures in high-risk areas. The violent crime category, while slightly higher than property crimes, remained 1% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000), indicating a persistent challenge in managing incidents in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour, however, was 34% below the national average (0.7 vs 1.1 per 1,000), a figure that could reflect successful community engagement or a lower prevalence of disruptive activity in local neighbourhoods. For residents, the burglary increase underscores the importance of securing homes, particularly as the month’s dark evenings and festive events may heighten risks. These fluctuations highlight the need for tailored interventions that address both rising property crime and the enduring presence of violent incidents.

Hinckley’s crime rate in November 2025 (6.5 per 1,000 residents) marked a 4.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.8, a slight but notable downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 11 crimes per day, a figure that, while manageable, underscores the persistent nature of local crime. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 154 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when contextualised against Hinckley’s population of 52,175, illustrates the scale of incidents relative to the community. This figure is particularly relevant for residents considering the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the disparity between Hinckley and the UK average, where the area’s burglary rate is 133% above the national figure. This contrast may be influenced by local factors such as the presence of older housing stock or a lack of targeted prevention strategies for property crime. Meanwhile, the slight decrease in overall crime rate compared to October suggests that some interventions or seasonal factors—such as the transition into the winter months—may have contributed to a temporary reduction in incidents. These comparisons provide a benchmark for understanding how Hinckley’s crime profile aligns with both national trends and local challenges.
