Honley Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Honley, 3.1 crimes were reported in November 2025—a rate 57.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of 2 crimes per day for local residents, with over half of these incidents falling under violence and sexual offences. The data reveals a stark contrast between Honley's crime profile and national trends, with violent crimes accounting for 50% of all recorded offences, significantly higher than the UK average of 38% for this category. Seasonal factors may play a role in these patterns, as November brings darker evenings, Bonfire Night events, and Black Friday shopping activity, all of which could influence both the frequency and nature of crimes. Property crimes, while lower in absolute numbers, remain a concern with vehicle crime and shoplifting showing notable increases. The area's relatively low crime rate compared to the UK suggests a combination of community factors, local policing strategies, and the built environment's characteristics, though further analysis would be needed to confirm direct correlations. The breakdown shows that violent crimes are concentrated in this area, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences also occurring at rates far below national averages, indicating potential differences in social dynamics or policing priorities.

November 2025 saw a 200% increase in shoplifting incidents, rising from 1 to 3 cases. This jump coincides with the Black Friday shopping period. Vehicle crime also doubled compared to the previous month, with 6 incidents reported—this is 25% below the UK average for this category but represents a significant local spike. Conversely, other crime categories showed notable declines, including an 80% reduction in 'other crime' incidents and a 50% drop in other thefts, suggesting possible shifts in criminal activity patterns. The data also reveals that violent crimes remain the dominant category, with 29 incidents (50% of total crimes) recorded. This rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents is 38% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, indicating that while violent crime is prevalent locally, it is less so than nationally. The sharp contrast between Honley's crime mix and the UK's profile—where property crimes typically dominate—suggests a unique local context, possibly influenced by the area's demographics or community structures. Residents should note that while the overall crime rate remains low, the concentration of violent incidents may warrant specific attention.

Honley's crime rate in November 2025 (3.1 per 1,000 residents) remained stable compared to the previous month (3.2 per 1,000), with a 1.6% decrease—indicating a consistent level of criminal activity. When viewed through a daily lens, this translates to roughly 2 crimes per day across the built-up area, a figure that may seem high to some residents but is contextually low given the area's overall safety profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 322 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than many comparable UK towns and cities. This statistic provides a concrete benchmark for understanding risk: for the average resident, the chance of being directly affected by crime in November was minimal compared to national averages. The population context further highlights Honley's relative safety, with its 18,652 residents experiencing fewer crimes per capita than the UK average. While the rate is stable, the composition of crimes—particularly the dominance of violent offences—suggests that local factors may be influencing crime patterns differently than in other areas. This comparison underscores the importance of considering both absolute numbers and local context when assessing safety.
