Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 30% of all crimes in November 2023 and remained 27% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with anti-social behaviour, which saw a 32.2% monthly decline to 124 incidents, and shoplifting, which dropped 22.9% to 74 cases—though shoplifting still exceeded the UK average by 27%. A striking anomaly was the 600% surge in theft from the person, rising from one to seven incidents, a figure that may signal increased vulnerability during dark evenings. Vehicle crime also fell by 21.7% to 36 cases, aligning with a broader trend of property crime declining relative to violent crime.

Broxtowe's November 2023 crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 7.4% decline from the previous month's 6.7 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 24 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of criminal activity in a localised timeframe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 162 residents, a monthly exposure rate that positions Broxtowe as comparatively safer than the UK average.

The decrease in anti-social behaviour and shoplifting—by 32.2% and 22.9% respectively—may partly explain the overall decline, though the sharp rise in theft from the person (+600%) indicates shifting patterns that warrant further local observation.
