Beeston Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Beeston (Broxtowe) maintained a crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents in October 2025, 13.0% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, while stable compared to the previous month, masks underlying shifts in crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 28.8% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (19.2%) and shoplifting (18.9%). The seasonal context of October—marked by darker evenings, Halloween, and the clocks going back—likely influenced these trends. Reduced daylight hours may have contributed to the rise in violent crimes, as outdoor activities diminish and indoor spaces become more isolated. Similarly, the drop in shoplifting could be attributed to the end of the summer retail season, though the rate remains significantly higher than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, though slightly above the UK average, appears to be concentrated in areas with higher foot traffic, such as local parks and public transport hubs. The area’s suburban character, with a blend of residential and commercial spaces, may explain the persistence of property-related crimes, even as overall rates remain lower than national benchmarks. These patterns suggest that while Beeston is generally safer than the UK average, targeted measures may be needed to address specific risks, particularly in areas where robbery and theft have shown volatility.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 350% increase in robbery cases, rising from 2 to 9 incidents. This surge, though still low in absolute terms, signals a troubling trend that could reflect heightened vulnerability in specific locations. Concurrently, other theft crimes rose by 118.2%, with 24 cases reported—nearly double the previous month’s count. This category, though below the UK average, demonstrates a significant local fluctuation that may warrant targeted prevention efforts. Meanwhile, shoplifting cases fell by 27.8% to 65, a decline that contrasts with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Shoplifting in Beeston remains 106% above the UK benchmark, suggesting that retail areas may still be at risk despite the drop. The volatility in robbery and theft figures highlights the need for residents to remain vigilant, particularly in high-traffic zones where such crimes are more likely to occur.

Beeston (Broxtowe) recorded a crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents in October 2025, a marginal 1.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.8 per 1,000. This stability contrasts with the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, positioning the area 13.0% below the national benchmark. On a daily basis, 11 crimes were reported across 31 days, translating to roughly one crime for every 149 residents over the month. While this figure remains consistent with recent trends, the distribution of crime types reveals notable shifts. The sharp rise in robbery—jumping from 2 to 9 cases—highlights a specific risk area requiring attention. These numbers, when viewed alongside the population context, underscore that while Beeston is generally safer than the UK average, certain crime categories demand closer scrutiny. The monthly exposure statistic, though low, serves as a reminder that crime remains a tangible concern for residents, particularly in areas where specific incidents have spiked.
