Hucknall Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Hucknall, 6.7 crimes were reported in August 2025—17.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to roughly one crime for every 149 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (32.8% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.6%) and shoplifting (10.3%). August’s peak holiday season likely influenced patterns, with empty homes increasing burglary risk and tourist activity potentially driving shoplifting. Violence and sexual offences in Hucknall were 23% below the UK average, consistent with a built-up area’s generally lower exposure to violent crime compared to more densely populated urban centres. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, remained 4% below the UK average, possibly reflecting local community engagement initiatives or effective policing in public spaces. Shoplifting, however, rose 11% above the national average, a trend that may be linked to Hucknall’s retail presence and seasonal foot traffic. These figures illustrate how local characteristics—such as the area’s mix of residential and commercial zones—interact with broader seasonal dynamics to shape crime profiles.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 433.3% increase in 'other crime' reports, rising from 3 to 16 incidents. This category, which includes a range of non-specific offences, jumped far above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000 (150% below Hucknall’s rate). Meanwhile, theft from the person fell 66.7% month-on-month, from 3 to 1 incident, and robbery dropped by the same percentage, from 6 to 2. These decreases may reflect heightened police visibility during August or a seasonal lull in opportunistic crimes. Public order offences also declined sharply, down 52.2% to 11 incidents—though this remains 48% below the UK average. Shoplifting rates in Hucknall were 11% above the national average, a contrast to the significant drop in theft-related crimes. This suggests that while some categories saw marked reductions, others, particularly those tied to retail environments, remained elevated. Residents may find the 11% above-average shoplifting rate particularly relevant, as it highlights the need for vigilance in commercial areas during peak holiday periods.

Hucknall’s crime rate in August 2025 fell 25.6% compared to the previous month’s 9.0 per 1,000, marking a significant downward trend. Over the course of the month, 262 crimes were reported—roughly 8 per day, a figure that provides a tangible sense of daily risk. When scaled to the area’s population of 39,041, this means one reported crime occurred for every 149 residents, a monthly aggregate that contextualises the likelihood of encountering crime in everyday life. This rate is lower than the UK average, reflecting Hucknall’s position as a built-up area with potentially stronger community cohesion and policing resources. The previous month’s rate of 9.0 per 1,000 suggests that August’s decline may be part of a broader seasonal pattern, with summer holidays reducing certain types of crime while others, like shoplifting, remain elevated. The contrast between Hucknall’s 6.7 per 1,000 and the UK average of 8.1 underscores the area’s relatively safer profile, though localised factors such as retail density and tourism continue to influence specific crime categories.
