Castle Donington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Castle Donington’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.4 per 1,000, a figure 39.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This marked disparity reflects the area’s unique demographic and geographic profile, shaped by its position as a built-up area within North West Leicestershire. The breakdown of crimes highlights a dominance of violent offences—specifically violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 43.2% of all reported incidents. These crimes occurred at a rate of 1.9 per 1,000, 26% below the UK average, a statistic that may be influenced by the area’s relatively stable community environment and targeted local policing efforts. Shoplifting and public order offences followed, each contributing 13.5% to the total, though shoplifting fell 5% below the UK average while public order offences exceeded it by 28%. This divergence suggests that while certain categories of crime are effectively managed, others—such as public disorder—require closer attention. The seasonal context of November, with its associated events like Bonfire Night and the commercial pressures of Black Friday, may have contributed to fluctuations in crime patterns. The relatively low overall rate, despite these seasonal factors, reinforces the area’s reputation as a safer-than-average location within the UK. This data, when combined with the broader socioeconomic context of Castle Donington, illustrates the combination of local initiatives, community engagement, and national trends in shaping the area’s crime profile.

November 2025 saw notable month-on-month increases in Other theft (+200%), Anti-social behaviour (+200%), and Burglary (+100%), reflecting a shift in crime dynamics. These spikes, though concentrated in specific categories, contrast with the overall stability of the area’s crime rate. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark divergence from the UK average: violence and sexual offences in Castle Donington were 26% below the national rate, while public order offences were 28% above. This contrast underscores the unique character of the area, where community-focused policing and local initiatives may contribute to lower violent crime rates. For residents, the sharp rise in Other theft and Anti-social behaviour serves as a reminder to remain vigilant, particularly in high-traffic areas. The increase in burglary, though modest, highlights the need for continued attention to property security. These trends, when contextualised with the seasonal factors of November—such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday—suggest that targeted interventions during high-risk periods could help mitigate future spikes.

Castle Donington’s crime rate in November 2025 rose by 12.1% compared to October’s 3.9 per 1,000, reaching 4.4 per 1,000. This upward shift, though modest, reflects local patterns influenced by seasonal factors. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population of 8,464 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 229 residents. This ratio is particularly noteworthy for a community of this size, suggesting that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly during the month. The population context further highlights that even with the 12.1% increase, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, which stands at 7.3 per 1,000. These figures, when viewed alongside the broader demographic and geographic profile of North West Leicestershire, illustrate a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime rates, despite the month-on-month fluctuation.
