Hucknall Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a mixed picture for crime in Hucknall, with some categories showing marked improvement while others rose sharply. The overall crime rate of 8.9 per 1,000 residents — 8.5% above the UK average — reflects a combination of local factors and national trends. Anti-social behaviour remained the most common category, accounting for 28.2% of all reported crimes, with its rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents 79% higher than the UK average. This could be linked to the area's built-up nature, where densely populated neighbourhoods and local amenities may contribute to such incidents. Shoplifting, the second most common category, saw a significant increase, with 75 incidents reported — 206% above the UK average. This suggests a potential connection to Hucknall's retail presence, though seasonal factors such as the start of summer may also play a role. The rise in possession of weapons, up 80% to nine incidents, highlights an emerging concern. By contrast, violent crime rates in Hucknall were 24% below the UK average, with 81 incidents reported — a figure that may reflect the area's relatively lower population density compared to major urban centres. The month's crime profile, while showing some troubling trends, also included notable decreases in robbery and public order offences, offering a nuanced picture of local safety dynamics.

June 2024 saw a 38.9% increase in shoplifting, with 75 incidents reported — the highest category after anti-social behaviour. This rise may partly explain the overall 8.5% increase in Hucknall's crime rate compared to the UK average. Bicycle theft surged by 400%, jumping from one incident to five, a dramatic shift that could reflect seasonal changes or local events. Conversely, robbery rates plummeted by 66.7%, dropping from three to one incident, marking one of the most significant decreases in the month. Public order offences also fell by 47.1%, from 17 to nine, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-related disturbances. While anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime type, its rate of 2.5 per 1,000 is 79% above the UK average, indicating a persistent challenge in this category. The sharp rise in possession of weapons — up 80% to nine incidents — deserves closer attention.

Hucknall's crime rate in June 2024 rose to 8.9 per 1,000 residents, a 2.4% increase from the previous month's 8.7 per 1,000. This places the area 8.5% above the UK average. Daily crime statistics show an average of 12 crimes reported each day in June, a figure that, while consistent with prior months, highlights the ongoing presence of crime in local life. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure means one reported crime occurred for roughly every 113 residents over the course of June — a metric that underscores the frequency of incidents relative to the area's size. This rate is higher than the UK average when considering specific categories such as anti-social behaviour and shoplifting, which are 79% and 206% above national figures respectively. However, the area also outperforms the UK in violent crime, with rates 24% below the national average. These contrasts suggest a combination of local factors and broader trends.
