Kingston upon Hull Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a city of 275,401 residents, November 2025 saw 2,902 crimes reported in Kingston upon Hull, translating to a crime rate of 10.5 per 1,000 people. This figure is 43.8% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, highlighting a significant divergence in local crime patterns. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43% of all reported incidents. Public order offences and shoplifting followed closely, contributing 9.8% and 9.2% respectively. These figures align with the area's character as a coastal city with a history of industrial activity, where high foot traffic in retail zones and nightlife areas may contribute to elevated rates of shoplifting and public disorder. Seasonal factors in November—such as Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and prolonged dark evenings—likely influenced the crime profile, with increased pedestrian activity in commercial areas potentially driving shoplifting and public order issues. The violent crime rate (4.5 per 1,000) was 75% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 43% below UK levels seen in anti-social behaviour (0.6 per 1,000). This discrepancy may reflect the city's urban density and the concentration of social services in certain areas, which could both increase exposure to violence and provide resources to mitigate anti-social conduct. The data underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones during periods of heightened activity.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to the previous month. Anti-social behaviour incidents fell by 35.2% (from 250 to 162), marking the most significant decline in any category. This reduction may be attributed to increased community engagement initiatives or seasonal changes in social activity. Bicycle theft also dropped by 31.7% (from 60 to 41), potentially reflecting heightened awareness during the Black Friday shopping period or improved security measures for personal property. Meanwhile, violent crimes remained high, with rates 75% above the UK average. The dominance of violence and sexual offences (43% of all crimes) contrasts sharply with the UK average, which sees such incidents account for around 2.6 per 1,000 residents. Public order offences, at 1.0 per 1,000, were 113% above the UK average, suggesting that the city's nightlife and retail sectors may be particularly prone to disorder during peak hours. Vehicle crime rates matched the UK average (0.4 per 1,000), indicating that local infrastructure and parking arrangements may be effectively mitigating this category. These findings highlight areas where targeted policing and community programs could yield measurable improvements, particularly in reducing violent crime and public disorder.

The crime rate in Kingston upon Hull for November 2025 (10.5 per 1,000) represents an 8.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 11.6 per 1,000, suggesting a gradual decline in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the city experienced approximately 97 crimes per day, a figure that would equate to one reported crime for every 95 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible context for residents, illustrating the frequency of criminal incidents in relation to the population size. When compared to the UK average, the city's crime rate remains substantially higher, with violent crime and public order offences being the most pronounced discrepancies. However, the reduction in anti-social behaviour and bicycle theft compared to October indicates that some crime trends may be stabilising. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the city's crime rate is elevated, the per capita impact is not uniformly distributed—residents in areas with higher retail and nightlife activity may face greater exposure to certain crime types. This comparison underscores the importance of localized strategies to address specific vulnerabilities, such as enhanced surveillance in high-traffic zones or community outreach programs to reduce public disorder.
