Hucknall Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hucknall's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, 3.7% below the UK average of 8.1. This marks a consistent improvement in public safety, with the area's overall crime profile showing a shift toward lower levels of violent crime and property crime. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 28.3% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (20.4%) and shoplifting (12.2%). The decline in violent crime is particularly noteworthy, with a 24.6% month-on-month reduction from 114 to 86 incidents. This decrease may be attributed to the start of the summer season, which typically sees increased police patrols and community events that deter criminal activity. However, the area's anti-social behaviour rate remains 13% above the UK average, suggesting ongoing challenges in managing public order. Shoplifting, which is 59% above the UK average, saw a 30.2% drop from May, a trend that could reflect improved retail security measures or seasonal changes in consumer behavior. The crime mix also shifted slightly, with property crimes now accounting for 36% of total incidents, down from 42% in the previous month. This balance between violent and property crime highlights the combination of factors influencing local crime patterns, including the built-up nature of Hucknall and its proximity to Ashfield's urban core. As the summer progresses, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to understanding the long-term impact of seasonal and environmental factors on crime rates.

June 2025 saw a notable 30.2% decrease in shoplifting, with incidents dropping from 53 to 37. This reduction may reflect heightened retail security measures or seasonal changes in consumer behavior. Conversely, robbery rates surged by 100%, rising from 3 to 6 incidents—a sharp increase that warrants attention. Violent crime also declined by 24.6%, with violence and sexual offences falling from 114 to 86, a drop that positions Hucknall 23% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent issue, with rates 13% above the UK average. The crime mix shifted slightly, with property crimes accounting for 36% of total incidents (down from 42% in May) and violent crimes rising to 28.3% of the total. Residents may find the 30.2% drop in shoplifting particularly significant, as it suggests targeted interventions may be effective in retail areas. However, the doubling of robbery rates highlights the need for continued vigilance in high-risk zones.

Hucknall's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 10.0% compared to May, dropping from 8.7 to 7.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the annual trend of reduced crime during summer months. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 10 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the built-up nature of Hucknall and its proximity to Ashfield's urban core. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 128 residents over the course of June. While this monthly exposure rate is lower than the average for similarly sized areas, it remains a key metric for residents assessing local safety. The drop in overall crime rate suggests a potential correlation with increased community engagement during the summer season, though can be confirmed without further data. This figure also highlights the importance of considering both absolute and relative crime statistics when evaluating public safety trends.
