Broxtowe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Broxtowe's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 30.4% of all reported incidents. This category, at 2.1 per 1,000 residents, was 18% below the UK average, suggesting a relatively lower prevalence of violent crime compared to national trends. The area's overall crime rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents placed it 5.5% below the UK average, a position that may be influenced by its mix of urban and suburban characteristics. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.0 per 1,000, followed closely as the second most common category, while shoplifting emerged as a striking outlier, recording 75% more incidents than the UK average. This anomaly could be attributed to the proximity of retail hubs and the heightened foot traffic during the Black Friday shopping period. The seasonal context of November—marked by dark evenings and the Bonfire Night celebrations—may have contributed to increased opportunities for anti-social behaviour and public order offences. However, the relatively low rates of violent crime and vehicle crime suggest that community-focused initiatives and local policing strategies may be effectively mitigating some risks. The interplay between these factors illustrates the nuanced nature of crime patterns in Broxtowe, where urban dynamics and seasonal fluctuations shape the monthly profile.

November 2025 saw a 220% increase in burglary, rising from 15 to 48 incidents, marking a significant departure from previous trends. This surge may be linked to seasonal factors such as the Black Friday shopping period, which can heighten opportunities for property crime. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 17.2%, potentially reflecting reduced outdoor activity during colder evenings. Shoplifting remained 75% above the UK average, with 131 cases reported, highlighting a persistent challenge in retail areas. Meanwhile, possession of weapons surged by 275%, from 4 to 15 incidents, a stark anomaly that may indicate shifts in local dynamics or unaddressed security gaps. These contrasting trends illustrate the combination of seasonal pressures and specific community vulnerabilities.

Broxtowe's crime rate rose by 13.9% in November 2025 compared to October's 6.1 per 1,000, reflecting a notable shift in local crime dynamics. On average, 26 crimes were reported daily, translating to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 145 residents. This figure underscores the density of incidents relative to the population, though it remains below the UK average. The increase aligns with seasonal factors such as dark evenings and the Black Friday shopping period, which may have heightened opportunities for certain offences. The local context also includes a mix of urban and suburban areas, where retail zones and public spaces could contribute to the observed trends. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the sharp rise in specific categories like burglary and possession of weapons suggests targeted pressures that warrant closer attention to local conditions.
