Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of trends in reported violent crime in Eastleigh constituency in the last 12 months.

Hampshire police recorded 3,350 violence against the person offences in Eastleigh in 2024/25, a 3% fall compared with the previous year (3,446 offences). This included one offence of homicide.

We are progressing towards this Government’s mission to make our streets safer. But we are not complacent and recognise there is much more to do, which is why we will continue to work across-government to tackle violent crime including our ambition to halve knife crime and violence against women and girls in a decade.
