Nuthall and Watnall Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Nuthall and Watnall’s crime rate in November 2024 stood at 3.7 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 51.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This significant gap underscores the area’s relative safety, though the month’s data reveals a combination of crime types and seasonal influences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 21.1% of all reported crimes, followed closely by anti-social behaviour (21.1%) and public order issues (13.2%). These figures align with the area’s likely profile as a residential community with mixed commercial zones, where public spaces and nightlife activity may contribute to anti-social incidents. November’s seasonal context—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and prolonged darkness—likely amplified certain crime patterns, such as the rise in robbery and burglary, though these increases remain modest in absolute terms. The low rate of property crime (3.7% of total crimes) contrasts with the UK average, where property-related offences typically dominate. This discrepancy may reflect the area’s lower density of retail or high-value assets, reducing opportunities for theft. However, the sharp rise in drug-related offences—doubling from zero to two cases—raises questions about local factors, such as transient populations or increased illicit activity during the month. Overall, the data illustrates a resilient community with a crime profile shaped by both geographic characteristics and seasonal rhythms, though residents should remain aware of the small but notable increases in specific categories.

November 2024 saw significant increases in three crime categories: robbery, burglary, and drug-related offences, each doubling from zero to one case. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened activity during the month’s darker evenings or Black Friday shopping period. Conversely, other theft and violence and sexual offences fell sharply—other theft dropped by 83.3% (from six to one case), while violence and sexual offences decreased by 42.9% (from 14 to eight cases). This shift suggests a temporary realignment in criminal activity, possibly linked to seasonal factors. The area’s violent crime rate (0.8 per 1,000) is 69% below the UK average, but other crime—such as drug offences—surpassed the UK rate by 76%. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly around areas with high foot traffic during the holiday season.

The crime rate in Nuthall and Watnall for November 2024 (3.7 per 1,000 residents) marks a 22.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as November’s darker evenings and reduced foot traffic in commercial areas may contribute to lower overall crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the month, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 272 residents. While this suggests a relatively low risk compared to the UK average, the small population of 10,323 means even minor fluctuations can impact individual risk perception. The monthly exposure statistic is particularly useful for residents assessing their personal safety, as it contextualises the frequency of crime within the community. This rate remains well below the UK average, highlighting the area’s consistent safety profile despite the recent increases in specific categories.
