Hinckley and Bosworth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile in Hinckley and Bosworth for July 2025, accounting for 39.9% of all reported incidents. With a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 26.7% below the UK average of 8.6, underscoring systemic differences in criminal activity. This dominance of violent crime aligns with the area's characteristics as a commuter belt suburb with a mix of urban and rural elements, where public spaces and transport hubs may contribute to higher exposure. The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and festivals—likely amplifies risks associated with alcohol-fuelled incidents and public gatherings, consistent with the 293 reported violent crimes. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also feature prominently, at 14.6% and 9.1% of total crimes respectively, reflecting the impact of summer tourism and nightlife activity. Property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime are lower than the UK average, possibly due to effective community policing or fewer commercial targets in the area. However, the surge in theft from the person and burglary highlights vulnerabilities during periods of increased foot traffic and unsecured property. These patterns suggest a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas during summer months, while the overall rate remains a testament to the area's relative safety compared to national benchmarks.

July 2025 saw a 100% increase in theft from the person, rising from 0 to 5 incidents, a significant jump that could reflect heightened vulnerability during summer festivals or crowded events. Burglary also surged by 77.8%, with 32 incidents reported, potentially linked to increased property visibility during warmer evenings. Meanwhile, possession of weapons fell by 25.0%, a decline consistent with targeted policing efforts or reduced demand during the summer months. Violent crimes in the area remain 18% below the UK average, with 2.5 per 1,000 residents compared to the national 3.0 rate. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.9 per 1,000, is 42% below the UK average, suggesting effective community engagement strategies. These figures highlight a combination of seasonal factors and local interventions that may be shaping the crime profile.

Hinckley and Bosworth's crime rate rose 16.0% in July 2025 compared to 5.4 per 1,000 in June, reflecting a shift in criminal activity patterns. On average, 24 crimes were reported daily during the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for every 159 residents, illustrating the monthly exposure rate in a population of 116,682. This ratio, while below the UK average when scaled, highlights the localised impact of crime. The increase in violent crime and property offences aligns with seasonal factors such as extended daylight hours and summer festivals, which may partly explain the uptick in reported incidents. Despite the rise, the overall rate remains 26.7% below the UK average, suggesting systemic differences in policing, demographics, or community resilience that warrant further analysis.
