Hucknall Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Hucknall's November 2024 crime rate of 8.0 per 1,000 residents marked a 5.3% increase above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure, while modest, reflects a built-up area's unique challenges amid seasonal transitions. The top three crime categories—violence and sexual offences (29.1% of all incidents), anti-social behaviour (17.9%), and criminal damage and arson (12.5%)—illustrate community tensions and property-related issues. The prevalence of violent crimes, which now account for nearly a third of all incidents, may be influenced by darker evenings and increased social gatherings during Bonfire Night. Anti-social behaviour, 26% above the UK average, could stem from Hucknall's compact urban layout, where concentrated populations may amplify disputes. Meanwhile, the high rate of criminal damage and arson (75% above UK levels) might be tied to the area's retail and commercial presence, which could attract vandalism during festive periods. Black Friday shopping may have contributed to shoplifting rates (1.0 per 1,000), though this remains 45% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—shorter days, colder weather, and cultural events—likely exacerbates these patterns, though further data would be needed to confirm direct correlations.

November 2024 saw a 200% increase in theft from the person, jumping from 1 to 3 incidents. This sharp rise, though still low in absolute terms, may signal heightened vulnerability during darker evenings or increased retail activity around Black Friday. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 53.3%, from 15 to 7, possibly reflecting seasonal shifts in illicit activity or improved policing focus. The area's anti-social behaviour rate stood at 1.4 per 1,000, 26% above the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000—a discrepancy that could be linked to Hucknall's built-up character and community dynamics. Possession of weapons increased by 150%, from 2 to 5 cases, a figure that may warrant closer attention given the 67% gap above the UK average. These fluctuations contrast with the 45% UK deficit in shoplifting, suggesting a combination of local retail patterns and national trends. Residents may find the 29.1% share of violent crimes (91 incidents) particularly noteworthy, as this category now dominates the crime profile.

Hucknall's crime rate in November 2024 rose to 8.0 per 1,000 residents, a 2.7% increase from October's 7.8 per 1,000. This places the area 5.3% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. Daily, Hucknall experienced approximately 10 crimes, translating to one reported crime for every 125 residents over the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the frequency of incidents in a community of 39,041. While the overall rate climbed, the mix of crime types shifted: violent crimes accounted for 29.1% of all incidents, compared to 17.9% for anti-social behaviour. This suggests a growing emphasis on personal safety concerns. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a consistent risk, though not at levels that would typically alarm locals. The rise in violent crimes may reflect seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and increased social activity around Bonfire Night, but further analysis would be needed to confirm this pattern. The comparison to the UK average highlights Hucknall's unique challenges, particularly in areas like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, which are higher than national benchmarks.
