Broxtowe Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broxtowe's crime rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents in April 2025 places it 20.8% below the UK average, illustrating a consistently lower risk profile compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (27.2% of all reports), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and shoplifting (14.2%). This distribution suggests a combination of community dynamics and local infrastructure, with violence and anti-social behaviour likely influenced by social interactions in public spaces. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter celebrations and spring weather—may have contributed to increased outdoor activity, potentially affecting both the frequency of violent incidents and the visibility of anti-social behaviour. However, shoplifting's elevated rate (36% above the UK average) indicates a distinct challenge tied to retail environments, exacerbated by the heightened consumer activity during Easter. These patterns reflect Broxtowe's unique character as a mixed-use area with a balance of residential and commercial zones, where crime prevention efforts must address both community-based and commerce-driven factors.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in Broxtowe's crime profile. Burglary increased by 91.7%, rising from 12 to 23 incidents, a spike that may be linked to seasonal patterns or increased home occupancy during the Easter period. Conversely, theft from the person plummeted by 75%, falling from four to one case, potentially reflecting reduced foot traffic during Easter holidays. Shoplifting remained a persistent issue, with rates 36% above the UK average, a trend consistent with the retail activity associated with Easter shopping. Vehicle crime decreased by 26.1%, aligning with the broader UK trend of lower rates in Broxtowe for this category. These fluctuations highlight the interplay between seasonal events and local crime patterns, offering residents insights into areas requiring vigilance.

Broxtowe's crime rate remained stable in April 2025, matching the previous month's 6.1 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. On a daily basis, 23 crimes were reported, a figure that translates to a local resident encountering a crime roughly every 165 people over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, it reflects the area's broader trend of being 20.8% below the national figure. The population context further illustrates that Broxtowe's crime profile is shaped by its community size and local dynamics, rather than being driven by extreme outliers. These statistics provide a tangible sense of risk, allowing residents to contextualise their safety within both local and national benchmarks.
