Henfield Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Henfield’s crime profile in November 2025 reveals a rare equilibrium between property and violent crimes, each contributing 33.3% of the total 21 reported incidents. This balance contrasts with the UK’s broader trend, where property crime typically dominates. At 3.5 per 1,000 residents, Henfield’s overall rate is 52.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a gap that highlights the area’s relative safety. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, occurred at a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 — 53% below the UK average — potentially reflecting the area’s character as a low-density built-up area with limited nightlife or commercial activity. Public order offences, however, stood at 0.7 per 1,000, 49% above the UK average, a disparity that may be tied to local events or community interactions. The seasonal context of November — marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and reduced daylight hours — likely influenced patterns, with darker evenings affecting both property and violent crime opportunities. Despite these factors, the low overall rate suggests Henfield’s built-up area within Horsham maintains a stable environment, where the interplay of residential density and limited commercial zones may contribute to the subdued crime levels. This balance between crime types, coupled with the UK-wide comparison, underscores the importance of localized factors in shaping Henfield’s unique profile.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with property and violent crimes each accounting for exactly 33.3% of total incidents — a balance that diverges from the UK’s usual dominance of property crime. Among the most striking changes was a 200% increase in other thefts, rising from one to three cases, while other crime and criminal damage and arson both doubled from zero to two and one respectively. This uptick in less common categories may reflect seasonal activities such as Bonfire Night or Black Friday shopping. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 80% compared to the previous month, and violence and sexual offences dropped by 53.3%, suggesting a potential reduction in incidents linked to earlier seasonal pressures. Public order offences, however, remained 49% above the UK average, a disparity that could be attributed to local community dynamics or event-related activity. For residents, the 52.1% gap between Henfield’s rate and the UK average remains a key benchmark for local safety.

Henfield's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 16.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.2. This decline, though modest, aligns with seasonal patterns typical of late autumn, when reduced foot traffic and darker evenings may dampen opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that reflects the low overall rate relative to the UK average. When scaled to the local population of 5,985, this translates to a monthly exposure of roughly one crime for every 285 residents — a statistic that underscores the relatively safe environment in Henfield compared to broader national trends. The population context further highlights how the low crime rate translates to a tangible sense of security for residents, with fewer incidents per capita than in most UK areas. This contrast is particularly notable when considering the UK’s overall average of 7.3 per 1,000, which Henfield’s figures are nearly half of.
