Kenilworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kenilworth’s November 2025 crime profile reveals a distinct balance between property and violent crime, with property-related incidents accounting for 41.8% of all recorded crimes compared to 28.4% for violent crimes. This divergence underscores the area’s unique crime dynamics, likely shaped by its built-up character within Warwick and seasonal factors such as shorter daylight hours and the post-Black Friday shopping period. The overall crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents places Kenilworth 58.9% below the UK average, a significant disparity that reflects the town’s relatively low exposure to crime. The most common crime category, violence and sexual offences, occurred at a rate 65% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour remained the second most frequent incident, albeit 34% below the national average. Seasonal context suggests that November’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night may have influenced patterns of anti-social behaviour and public order offences, though the 80% decline in shoplifting and public order incidents highlights the effectiveness of targeted measures or the natural ebb of seasonal retail crime. The absence of a major spike in violent crime, despite the lower overall rate, indicates that Kenilworth’s social fabric and policing strategies may be contributing to a safer environment, particularly in comparison to larger urban centres.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 700% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one incident to eight, a sharp contrast to the 80% decline in shoplifting and public order offences. This shift in crime type distribution highlights a growing focus on property-related offences, with property crimes accounting for 41.8% of all incidents compared to 28.4% for violent crimes. Bicycle theft doubled from one to two incidents, marking the only crime category in Kenilworth to exceed the UK average (67% above). Meanwhile, shoplifting, which had previously been a major concern, fell by 80% from 20 to 4 cases, possibly reflecting post-Black Friday spending patterns or improved retail security measures. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common crime, though its rate was 34% below the UK average. These fluctuations suggest a combination of seasonal factors and local enforcement efforts, with property-focused crimes likely influenced by the area’s built-up character and seasonal events such as Bonfire Night.

Kenilworth's November 2025 crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents marks a 27.9% decline from the previous month's rate of 4.2 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained trend of reduced incidents. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of criminal activity compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 331 residents, a monthly exposure rate that positions Kenilworth among the safer built-up areas in the UK. This statistic, when contextualised against the local population of 22,173, highlights the rarity of crime in everyday life for most residents. The reduction in crime aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as November’s shorter daylight hours and post-Black Friday shopping period may have contributed to a quieter crime profile. However, the persistent low rate also suggests the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the inherent characteristics of the area, such as its compact built-up nature and possibly lower population density compared to major cities.
