Eastwood Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Eastwood's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 8.6 per 1,000 residents, 6.2% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure places the area within the typical range for a built-up urban centre, where population density and infrastructure create both opportunities for criminal activity and the capacity for effective policing. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 26.4% of all reported incidents (43 cases), a rate of 2.3 per 1,000 that is 20% below the UK average. This discrepancy may reflect the area's relatively stable social fabric or the presence of community initiatives that mitigate violent conflict. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 22.1% of all crimes (36 cases) at a rate of 1.9 per 1,000—34% above the UK average. This suggests a need for targeted interventions in public spaces, particularly during the start of summer when outdoor activity increases. Shoplifting, at 17.8% of all crimes (29 cases), emerged as a significant concern, with its rate of 1.5 per 1,000 being 138% above the UK average. This anomaly may be linked to the area's retail presence and the seasonal influx of tourists or shoppers, which could create opportunities for opportunistic theft. The crime profile in June aligns with the transitional nature of the month: the longest days and the beginning of the summer season may have influenced both criminal and policing patterns, with some categories, such as anti-social behaviour, showing a marked increase that warrants further analysis.

Burglary in Eastwood surged by 350% in June 2025, jumping from two to nine incidents—a dramatic shift that outpaces other crime categories. This spike, combined with a 123% rise in shoplifting and a 300% increase in 'other crime' (unspecified but likely low-level offences), indicates a marked shift in criminal activity. Shoplifting in the area is 138% above the UK average, a figure that may partly reflect the presence of retail hubs or the seasonal influx of summer shoppers. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 35.3%, while public order offences dropped 33.3%, suggesting a possible reallocation of resources or changing community dynamics. The area's anti-social behaviour rate is 34% above the UK average, a persistent challenge that may be linked to the built-up nature of Eastwood, where social interactions are more frequent and concentrated.

Eastwood's crime rate in June 2025 rose 2.5% to 8.6 per 1,000 residents from 8.4 per 1,000 in May, marking a slight upward trend. This translates to roughly five crimes reported daily, a figure that, while consistent with the area's historical patterns, reflects the density of a built-up area within Broxtowe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 116 residents, a ratio that contextualises the impact of crime on local communities. This monthly exposure rate, though not directly comparable to UK-wide figures, aligns with the typical profile of urbanised areas where population concentration and infrastructure create opportunities for both crime and policing. The population scale of 18,970 residents means that individual incidents, while significant, are distributed across a relatively compact geographic footprint, potentially influencing local perceptions of safety.
