Hemsworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The most striking development in Hemsworth's crime profile for November 2025 was the 100% surge in bicycle theft, a category that saw a single incident in October escalate to two in November. This unexpected spike stands in contrast to the broader trend of declining crime rates, which fell by 26.4% compared to the previous month. While the overall crime rate of 10.8 per 1,000 residents remains 47.9% above the UK average of 7.3, the composition of crimes tells a nuanced story. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.9% of total incidents, a rate that is 52% above the UK average, and shoplifting (1.6 per 1,000) is 154% above the national benchmark. These figures suggest that Hemsworth's built-up area faces particular challenges in retail crime and public safety. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and shorter evenings—may have influenced some patterns, though the sharp rise in bicycle theft appears unconnected to these factors. The area's crime profile reflects a mix of persistent issues, such as high rates of public order offences and criminal damage, alongside some positive trends, like the 80% drop in robbery cases. This complex picture underscores the need for targeted interventions that address both the specific vulnerabilities of Hemsworth and the broader regional context.

Hemsworth's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 26.4% compared to the previous month, dropping from 14.7 to 10.8 per 1,000 residents.

On a daily basis, the month saw an average of three crimes reported each day, highlighting the persistent need for community vigilance. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 93 residents, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in this built-up area. While this rate is lower than the 14.7 recorded in October, it still reflects a level of activity that is higher than the UK's broader context. The population of 9,535 residents means that each resident is statistically more likely to encounter crime than the national average, though the drop from October indicates some temporary moderation in criminal activity.
