Hucknall Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Hucknall's crime rate in June 2023 reached 10.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 18.8% above the UK average of 8.5. This figure reflects a persistent challenge for the built-up area within Ashfield, though the breakdown of crime types reveals a nuanced picture. Anti-social behaviour accounted for 29.2% of all reported crimes, making it the most common category, followed by violence and sexual offences (24.6%) and shoplifting (13.7%). These rates highlight a localised concentration of non-violent crimes, particularly in public spaces, which may be influenced by the area's character as a mixed-use residential and retail hub. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—likely contributes to patterns observed, such as the 12.7% increase in anti-social behaviour, which may be linked to extended daylight hours and increased social activity. However, the overall crime rate remains a cause for concern, with anti-social behaviour and shoplifting significantly exceeding UK averages. The relatively low rates of vehicle crime and other theft suggest a divergence from national trends, due to Hucknall's specific geography and infrastructure. While the area's crime profile is shaped by its proximity to Ashfield and the surrounding built-up environment, the combination of local factors and seasonal influences continues to define its security landscape.

June 2023 saw a marked reduction in 'other crime', which fell by 66.7% (from 9 to 3 cases), the most significant single-month decline in this category. This decrease, alongside a 57.1% drop in possession of weapons (from 7 to 3), suggests a potential shift in local dynamics. Conversely, anti-social behaviour increased by 12.7% (from 102 to 115 cases), a rise that may partly reflect the start of the summer season, when public spaces see increased foot traffic. Shoplifting also rose, with 54 cases reported—159% above the UK average—highlighting a persistent challenge in retail areas. The area's anti-social behaviour rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, 103% above the UK average, underscores a localised issue that warrants attention. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 52.6% (from 19 to 9 cases), a decline that could be linked to reduced commuter activity or seasonal factors. These fluctuations illustrate the combination of local conditions and broader crime trends.

Hucknall's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 10.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 6.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 10.8. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, the 394 total crimes reported over 30 days equate to approximately 13 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of criminal activity in the built-up area. When scaled to the local population, this translates to one reported crime for roughly every 99 residents over the course of June, offering a monthly snapshot of exposure. This rate, while still above the UK average, reflects a slight improvement in the area's overall crime profile. The population context further underscores that these figures represent a relatively small proportion of Hucknall's 39,041 residents, though the disparity between local and UK averages remains notable in specific crime categories. The reduction in overall crime rate, coupled with the daily and monthly metrics, provides a balanced view of the area's security landscape during this period.
