Broxtowe Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Broxtowe’s crime rate in July 2025 was 7.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 15.1% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a generally safer environment than the national benchmark. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.2% of all crimes, followed by shoplifting (17.6%) and anti-social behaviour (16.9%). These figures align with seasonal trends typical of a mid-sized urban district during peak summer, when tourism and festivals amplify foot traffic in retail and leisure areas. The high proportion of violent crimes may partly explain the UK average’s gap, as such offences often dominate local crime profiles in areas with mixed residential and commercial zones. Meanwhile, shoplifting’s prominence—100% above the UK average—suggests retail hubs remain vulnerable to opportunistic theft, likely exacerbated by the influx of visitors during July’s festival season. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, may reflect community tensions in high-density housing areas or the challenges of managing public spaces during extended summer hours. These patterns underscore the combination of local geography, seasonal activity, and policing priorities in Broxtowe.

July 2025 saw sharp increases in vehicle crime (+68.2%), possession of weapons (+63.6%), and robbery (+44.4%) compared to June. Vehicle crime rose from 22 to 37 incidents, likely linked to increased road traffic during summer festivals and events. The surge in weapon possession—now 18 cases—may indicate heightened tensions in public spaces or unregulated gatherings. Robbery rates climbed from 9 to 13, potentially tied to the same factors driving vehicle crime. Conversely, bicycle theft fell by 60% (from 5 to 2), due to seasonal shifts in cycling activity or improved security measures. Drug-related crimes also dropped by 27.3% (from 22 to 16), which could reflect temporary reductions in illicit activity during the summer months. Shoplifting remains 100% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge for local retailers. These fluctuations illustrate how local crime profiles can shift rapidly in response to temporary factors like event attendance or policing focus, even as broader trends align with national benchmarks.

Broxtowe’s crime rate in July 2025 (7.3 per 1,000) marked a 13.3% increase from June’s 6.4 per 1,000.1% below the UK average. This monthly rise translates to roughly 27 crimes per day, a figure that may feel more pronounced in areas with concentrated retail or leisure activity. Over the course of July, one crime was reported for every 138 residents, a monthly exposure rate that sits in line with Broxtowe’s population density and urban character. While the 13.3% increase from June is notable, it must be contextualised within the broader trend of Broxtowe’s historically lower crime rates compared to national averages. The daily crime count of 27 is a useful metric for residents, offering a tangible sense of local risk levels. For instance, a family in Broxtowe might expect to encounter a crime once every 138 residents over a month, though this figure is distributed unevenly across neighbourhoods. The comparison to the UK average also underscores Broxtowe’s relative success in maintaining a safer environment, despite the month-on-month fluctuation. These statistics collectively illustrate a district where crime remains manageable but not static, shaped by both local conditions and broader national patterns.
