South Holland Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

South Holland’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents places the area 17.8% below the UK average, marking a significant improvement in public safety. This rate is part of a broader trend that has seen the district consistently outperform national benchmarks, though the reasons for this divergence remain multifaceted. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 41.9% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and other theft (6.7%). These figures suggest that violent crime remains a central concern, potentially influenced by local demographics or environmental factors. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter evenings, the end of the holiday shopping season, and the timing of Bonfire Night—may have contributed to shifts in crime patterns. For instance, the sharp decline in vehicle crime could be attributed to reduced traffic and fewer opportunities for theft during the month. However, the persistent high rate of anti-social behaviour, which is 23% above the UK average, indicates a need for targeted interventions in areas where such incidents are concentrated. While the overall crime rate is a positive indicator, the breakdown reveals that certain categories, such as violence and anti-social behaviour, require continued attention. The lower-than-average rates for property crimes like burglary and shoplifting, which are 33% and 68% below UK levels respectively, suggest that local measures—whether through community policing, improved lighting, or increased surveillance—may be contributing to a safer environment. These findings highlight both the progress made and the challenges that remain in maintaining a secure community.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 69.7% decrease in vehicle crime, with reported incidents dropping from 66 in October to 20. This sharp decline may be linked to seasonal factors, including reduced traffic following the conclusion of Black Friday shopping and the onset of colder weather, which could deter vehicle-related offences. Conversely, robbery incidents surged by 150%, rising from 2 to 5 cases. This increase, though relatively small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened foot traffic during events such as Bonfire Night or local festivals. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent issue, with 127 incidents reported—23% above the UK average. This category’s elevated rate could be tied to the area’s community dynamics, including the impact of seasonal gatherings and public events. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson decreased by 45.1%, due to increased community engagement or police presence during the month. These fluctuations highlight the combination of local conditions and broader crime trends, with some categories showing marked improvement while others remain concerning.

South Holland’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 16.5% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.2 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as November’s shorter evenings and the conclusion of Black Friday shopping may have reduced opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 20 crimes per day, a figure that, while local to South Holland, provides a clear snapshot of crime frequency. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 167 residents, a rate that remains lower than the UK average. This monthly exposure metric underscores the relatively safer environment in South Holland compared to national trends, though this is a snapshot and does not account for fluctuations in population or local events. The drop in vehicle crime by 69.7% compared to October may be attributed to reduced traffic during the holiday season, while the 33.3% increase in burglary suggests a potential shift in criminal focus toward residential areas. These changes, when viewed in conjunction with the population-scaled perspective, highlight both the effectiveness of local measures and the need for continued vigilance in specific crime categories.
