Criminal activitiesHonicknowle had quite a notorious gang culture in the mid 2000s. On 18 April 2009, an Anti Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) was served to several senior members of the notorious Honicknowle Defence Regiment, which was at a time one of the biggest criminal organizations in the United Kingdom, banning them from associating until 19 May 2009. The de facto leader of the organization was also handed a prison sentence.[2] However, in recent years Honicknowle has, surprisingly, had quite a low rate of crime.[3] ReligionThe majority religion in Honicknowle is Christian. St. Francis of Assisi church located off Little Dock Lane is closest to Honicknowle Green. There is also a thriving Methodist Church.

Honicknowle Green celebrated November 5 or Guy Fawkes night with a traditional bonfire and large fireworks display, most of this display was organised and funded by local citizens. However, due to new local restrictions and regulations, there is no longer an annual bonfire.
