Hinckley and Bosworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hinckley and Bosworth’s crime rate in November 2025 remained 26% below the UK average at 5.4 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a consistent trend of lower-than-national crime levels. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.5% of all recorded incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 11.6%. These figures, while concerning, are significantly below the UK averages for both categories—violence and sexual offences were 22% below the national rate, and anti-social behaviour was 43% below. The seasonal context of November, marked by dark evenings and the Black Friday shopping period, likely contributed to fluctuations in crime patterns. While the overall rate remains stable, the data reveals a worrying upward trend in specific crime types. For instance, burglary saw a sharp increase of 45.2%, potentially linked to the influx of shoppers and the associated increase in foot traffic around retail areas. Similarly, shoplifting rose by 33.3%, suggesting that the heightened consumer activity during this period may have created opportunities for opportunistic theft. These increases contrast with a notable decline in anti-social behaviour, which fell by 33.6%, due to the implementation of targeted community initiatives or increased police presence during the month. The relatively low levels of property crime compared to the UK average—particularly for burglary and vehicle crime—suggest that the area may benefit from effective crime prevention strategies. However, the rise in certain categories, such as burglary and shoplifting, indicates that residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The interplay between seasonal factors and local crime dynamics underscores the importance of continued monitoring and adaptive policing strategies to address emerging trends. As the month progressed, the combination of darker evenings and the commercial activity associated with the festive season likely played a role in shaping the crime profile, highlighting the need for ongoing community engagement and targeted interventions to maintain the area’s current level of safety.

November 2025 saw a 45.2% increase in burglary cases, rising from 42 to 61, a shift that may be linked to the heightened retail activity around Black Friday. Similarly, shoplifting rose by 33.3%, with incidents climbing from 27 to 36, suggesting a potential correlation with seasonal shopping patterns. Meanwhile, 'other crime' increased by 55.6%, indicating a broadening of criminal activity beyond traditional categories. These increases contrast with a 33.6% drop in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 110 to 73—a trend that could reflect targeted policing efforts or seasonal changes in public behaviour. The area’s burglary rate of 0.5 per 1,000 residents is 67% above the UK average of 0.3, highlighting a specific vulnerability in property crime. Residents should be particularly cautious in areas with high foot traffic during peak shopping periods, as these may be prime targets for opportunistic crimes.

Hinckley and Bosworth’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 10.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 6.0. This downward trend, though modest, suggests a continued stabilization in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 21 crimes per day over the month—a figure that, while specific to Hinckley and Bosworth, offers a tangible snapshot of local activity. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 186 residents over the course of November, a ratio that places the area well below the UK average. The population context further underscores the relatively low exposure to crime compared to national benchmarks, though residents should remain vigilant as seasonal factors like dark evenings and Black Friday shopping may influence specific crime types. These figures, while encouraging, must be viewed alongside the month-on-month shifts in crime categories, which reveal nuanced changes in local patterns.
