Eastwood Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Eastwood's crime rate in November 2025 reached 10.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 37% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors, with violent and property crimes dominating the landscape. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 26.8% of all crimes (51 incidents), a rate of 2.7 per 1,000 that is 5% above the UK average. Shoplifting, at 22.1% of total crimes (42 incidents), is 249% above the UK average, likely driven by the heightened retail activity associated with Black Friday. Burglary, though less frequent, surged to 12.1% of total crimes (23 incidents), a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 that is 300% above the UK average. These patterns are consistent with Eastwood's character as a built-up area within Broxtowe, where high foot traffic and commercial activity may contribute to elevated property crime rates. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter daylight hours, Bonfire Night, and the Christmas shopping period—likely exacerbates these trends. The increase in violent crimes, despite a 12.1% month-on-month decline, suggests persistent challenges in maintaining public safety. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour. still accounts for 10% of total crimes, indicating ongoing issues with community conduct. The area's proximity to urban centres and its status as a commuter hub may further explain the higher-than-average rates of shoplifting and burglary. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in retail zones and during evenings, as the combination of seasonal events and local demographics creates an environment conducive to certain types of crime.

This surge, coupled with a 200% rise in possession of weapons (from one to three cases), signals a worrying shift in criminal activity. Public order offences also surged by 150%, reaching 20 incidents, likely influenced by the darker evenings of November and events like Bonfire Night. While violent crimes decreased slightly by 12.1% (from 58 to 51), the rate of 2.7 per 1,000 remains 5% above the UK average. Shoplifting, at 42 incidents (2.2 per 1,000), is 249% above the UK average, highlighting the vulnerability of retail areas during Black Friday shopping.

Eastwood's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 10.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 21.9% increase from the previous month's rate of 8.2 per 1,000. This upward trend positions the area 37% above the UK average, a significant deviation that warrants attention. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of six reported crimes per day in Eastwood, underscoring the frequency of incidents within a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 100 residents, a monthly exposure figure that highlights the persistent nature of crime in this population. While the UK average provides a benchmark, Eastwood's data must be contextualised within its own demographic and geographic profile. The population of 18,970 residents living within a built-up area likely contributes to higher concentrations of property and violent crimes compared to more rural or dispersed communities. This contrast with national averages suggests local factors, such as proximity to retail hubs or high-traffic zones, may amplify the visibility of certain crime types. Residents should consider these figures in conjunction with local patterns, as the monthly exposure rate reflects a direct experience of crime that may not align with broader national trends.
