Nuthall and Watnall Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Nuthall and Watnall’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 47.9% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure, though historically low, reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 28.2% of incidents, though this type saw a 45% monthly decline. Other theft emerged as the second most frequent category, contributing 12.8% of total crimes, with its sharp increase raising concerns. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended evening darkness—likely influenced these patterns. While the area’s overall safety remains notable, the spike in other theft may be partly explained by the surge in retail activity during the month. Similarly, the rise in public order offences could be linked to increased foot traffic and gatherings around festive events. Vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour both decreased, reflecting reduced outdoor activity or improved policing during the month. Despite these fluctuations, the area’s crime profile continues to demonstrate resilience, with violent crimes and burglary rates remaining well below UK averages. This suggests that while targeted vigilance may be necessary in certain domains, the broader environment remains relatively secure for residents.

November 2025 saw a 150% increase in other theft, rising from two to five incidents—a stark jump that may be linked to the Black Friday shopping period. Concurrently, public order offences doubled from two to four, and drug-related crimes also doubled from one to two. These increases contrast with a 45% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 20 to 11. This decline could be partially attributed to the end of term or seasonal factors, though the rise in property-related crimes warrants attention. Vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour both decreased by 28.6%, suggesting a mixed picture in property crime trends. The overall balance of crime types shifted slightly, with property crimes accounting for 41% of incidents compared to 28% for violent crimes. While the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, the sharp rise in specific categories underscores the need for local awareness and preventive measures.

The crime rate in November 2025 fell by 21.9% compared to the previous month, declining from 4.8 to 3.8 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with broader trends observed in similar built-up areas during late autumn, though local factors may have influenced the shift. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day in November, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but highlights the concentrated nature of incidents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 265 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime in this community compared to national averages. While the rate remains significantly below the UK average, the specific increases in certain categories—such as other theft and public order offences—suggest areas for targeted awareness. These figures, when contextualised against the area’s population of 10,323, indicate that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime during their daily lives, though vigilance in specific domains may be prudent.
