Beeston (Broxtowe) Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Beeston (Broxtowe)'s crime profile in June 2024, accounting for 30.8% of all reported crimes. This category saw a 47.5% increase from May, a rise that may align with the start of summer and extended daylight hours encouraging more outdoor activity. The overall crime rate of 7.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 8.5% below the UK average of 8.2, reflecting a consistently lower crime burden than national trends. Anti-social behaviour (22.5% of total crimes) and shoplifting (17.0%) follow as the next most frequent categories, though shoplifting rates in Beeston are 110% above the UK average. This discrepancy suggests local factors such as retail density or policing strategies may influence these figures. Seasonal patterns in June—longer evenings and the onset of summer tourism—could contribute to the rise in violence and sexual offences, though no direct causal link is confirmed. The area's relatively low burglary and vehicle crime rates (both below UK averages) indicate a safer environment for property compared to national benchmarks, due to community engagement or effective local policing.

June 2024 saw a dramatic 700% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 1 to 8 incidents. This surge may reflect heightened summer cycling activity or targeted thefts near transport hubs. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences jumped 47.5% compared to May, with 118 incidents reported—a figure 17% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell 38.6% to 86 incidents, linked to the start of the school term or reduced public gatherings. Shoplifting remains a local outlier, with rates 110% above the UK average. Residents may find the 1-in-134 resident monthly exposure rate (one crime per 134 residents) a useful benchmark for understanding risk. Vehicle crime also rose 36.4% to 15 incidents, though this remains 33% below the UK average. These shifts highlight a complex mix of seasonal influences and localized factors shaping crime patterns in Beeston (Broxtowe).

Beeston (Broxtowe)'s crime rate remained stable at 7.5 per 1,000 in June 2024, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no major fluctuations in overall crime levels.

Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 134 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is 10% lower than the UK average if extrapolated nationally. This statistic provides context for how frequently crimes occur in relation to the local population. With 51,231 residents, the area's crime burden is distributed across a moderate-sized community, where the 7.5 per 1,000 rate translates to 383 total crimes. This density of incidents per capita is lower than the UK average, suggesting that Beeston (Broxtowe) maintains a safer environment compared to many other areas. The stability in crime rates, despite fluctuations in specific categories, underscores the importance of ongoing local efforts in crime prevention.
