Rural Hinckley and Bosworth Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Rural Hinckley and Bosworth's November 2024 crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents stands at 46.1% below the UK average, highlighting the area's relative safety. This figure contrasts sharply with the national average of 7.6 per 1,000, a disparity that reflects the built-up area's characteristics within a predominantly rural landscape. The breakdown of crimes reveals a mix of property and violent offences, with vehicle crime emerging as the most significant category. At 1.3 per 1,000 residents, this rate is 195% above the UK average, suggesting localized factors such as increased traffic during Black Friday or seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Violence and sexual offences, though stable at 7 incidents, remain 61% below the UK average, potentially linked to the area's lower population density and community-oriented environment. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter daylight hours, high-traffic shopping periods, and community events—may have influenced patterns, with vehicle crime likely driven by increased road activity. This data underscores the area's generally low crime profile, though the sharp increase in vehicle crime deserves closer attention to local transportation dynamics.

Vehicle crime surged by 125% in November, rising from 4 to 9 incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 residents. This category, now accounting for 32.1% of all crimes, is 195% above the national rate, raising questions about local factors such as increased traffic during Black Friday or seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, violent crimes remained stable at 7, though this figure is 61% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The category of possession of weapons saw a 100% increase, with one reported incident—a rate 233% above the UK average. This anomaly may reflect isolated incidents rather than a broader trend. Other theft fell by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, a decline that could indicate improved security measures or seasonal shifts in criminal activity.

Rural Hinckley and Bosworth's crime rate rose by 47.5% compared to the previous month, moving from 2.8 to 4.1 per 1,000 residents. This shift aligns with seasonal patterns typical of November, a month marked by shorter evenings and high-traffic periods like Black Friday. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 1 incident per day over 30 days, reflecting a relatively low level of activity compared to urban areas. On a monthly basis, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 246 residents, a figure that underscores the area's overall safety profile despite the upward trend. While the population of 6,884 residents contributes to a lower absolute number of crimes, the rate increase suggests potential changes in local dynamics, such as increased movement during seasonal events. This context helps residents gauge risk relative to their immediate surroundings, where crime remains significantly below the UK average.
