Beeston (Broxtowe) Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Beeston (Broxtowe)’s crime profile in July 2025 revealed a combination of property and violent crime, with property crimes dominating in absolute numbers but violent crimes forming a larger share of the total. The overall crime rate of 8.1 per 1,000 residents placed the area 5.8% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect local factors such as community engagement or effective policing strategies. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (27.9%), shoplifting (24.9%), and anti-social behaviour (15.3%). These patterns align with seasonal dynamics: July, a peak summer month, saw schools out of session, tourism at its height, and festivals drawing crowds, all of which could contribute to increased public order issues and retail theft. Violence and sexual offences were 28% below the UK average, suggesting that local interventions—whether through community initiatives or targeted patrols—may have mitigated risks in this category. Conversely, shoplifting’s 208% above UK average highlights vulnerabilities in retail areas, exacerbated by high foot traffic or inadequate security measures. The area’s relatively low burglary and vehicle crime rates, both below UK averages, indicate that residential and automotive theft are not major concerns, though the 18% shortfall in criminal damage and arson may reflect a lack of reported incidents rather than inherent safety. As the summer season progresses, the balance between property and violent crime will likely shift further, influenced by ongoing events and the rhythm of local life.

July 2025 marked a 19.1% increase in overall crime rates compared to June, driven by sharp rises in robbery (+100%) and possession of weapons (+100%). These increases, though concerning, contrast with a notable 75% decline in bicycle theft, likely linked to summer holidays reducing cycling activity. The balance between property and violent crimes remained skewed: property crimes (189) outnumbered violent crimes (115), yet violent crimes accounted for 27.9% of total incidents—just below shoplifting’s 24.9% share. This mix highlights the area’s vulnerability to both opportunistic theft and incidents tied to public spaces. Shoplifting, at 2.0 per 1,000, stood out as 208% above the UK average, a statistic that may reflect the area’s retail density or seasonal foot traffic during peak summer months.

Beeston (Broxtowe) recorded a crime rate of 8.1 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, a 19.1% increase from the previous month’s rate of 6.8. This rise, though significant, still places the area 5.8% below the UK average. On a daily basis, approximately 13 crimes were reported each day, reflecting the area’s consistent level of activity. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 124 residents, a figure that contextualises the exposure of local residents to crime. With a population of 51,231, the rate remains relatively low compared to larger urban centres, though the recent uptick in specific categories—such as robbery and possession of weapons—suggests a need for targeted local vigilance. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate is manageable, the shifts in crime types demand closer attention from community and policing stakeholders.
