North West Leicestershire Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North West Leicestershire's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 6.1 per 1,000 residents, 29.1% below the UK average of 8.6. This significant gap underscores the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national benchmarks. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 36.8% of all reported incidents (251 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (18.9%) and public order offences (9.5%). These figures suggest a focus on community safety initiatives, though the high proportion of violent crimes may reflect the area's demographic or environmental characteristics. Seasonal factors in July—peak summer, school holidays, and increased tourism—likely influenced crime patterns, with outdoor events potentially contributing to higher violent crime rates. However, the area's performance in reducing property-related offences, such as shoplifting (54% below UK averages) and burglary (26% below), indicates effective policing or community engagement efforts. The balance between violent and property crimes remains a key area for further analysis, particularly as local authorities monitor the impact of seasonal activities on public safety.

July 2025 saw a stark reduction in theft from the person, with incidents dropping from 17 to 6—a 64.7% decrease. This decline may be linked to increased police patrols or seasonal changes in outdoor activity patterns. Conversely, robbery incidents doubled, rising from 2 to 4 (+100%), suggesting a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas. Anti-social behaviour remained below the UK average, at 1.2 per 1,000 (23% below), possibly reflecting community engagement efforts or effective local policing strategies. Other crime also increased by 18.8%, from 16 to 19, though this category is not typically a major concern in the area. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns, with some categories showing marked improvement while others require closer attention.

North West Leicestershire's crime rate in July 2025 fell to 6.1 per 1,000 residents, a 10.8% decrease from June's 6.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced violent and property crimes observed over the past year. Daily crime reporting shows 22 incidents per day in July, a figure consistent with seasonal patterns but lower than the annual average. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 164 residents, reflecting a relatively low monthly exposure compared to the UK average. The population context highlights that crime rates remain well below national benchmarks, with violent crimes at 2.2 per 1,000 (28% below UK averages) and anti-social behaviour at 1.2 per 1,000 (23% below). These figures suggest a community where local initiatives or environmental factors may be contributing to sustained reductions in crime, though further analysis would be needed to confirm causal links.
