Long Eaton Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Long Eaton’s crime rate stood at 8.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 12% above the UK average of 7.5. This figure translates to a daily risk of roughly one in every 119 residents experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. The most significant contributors to this rate were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 39.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (12.8%) and public order offences (12.5%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up town within Erewash, where high-traffic areas and social hubs may contribute to higher rates of violent and disorderly incidents. Seasonal factors also played a role, as November’s shorter days and events like Bonfire Night may have influenced crime patterns. The town’s violent crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents is higher than the UK average of 2.6, a difference that could reflect local demographics or the presence of specific risk factors. Public order offences, which are 108% above the UK average, may be linked to the town’s community dynamics or the concentration of incidents in certain areas. Meanwhile, property-related crimes such as shoplifting and burglary saw declines, due to the end of the Black Friday shopping period and seasonal changes in consumer activity. These trends illustrate how local conditions and broader national patterns interact to shape the crime profile in Long Eaton.

November 2023 saw a dramatic 700% increase in 'Other crime' compared to October, with the category rising from 1 to 8 reported incidents. This jump, though small in absolute terms, indicates a notable shift in the types of offences being recorded. Concurrently, 'Possession of weapons' rose by 150%, from 2 to 5 cases, a trend that may reflect increased police attention or changing community dynamics. In contrast, shoplifting fell by 55.7%, declining from 79 to 35 incidents—a sharp drop that could be linked to the end of the Black Friday shopping period. Violent crimes in Long Eaton remain 27% above the UK average, with 3.3 per 1,000 residents compared to the national rate of 2.6. This discrepancy may be influenced by local factors such as the town’s population density or the presence of high-traffic areas that contribute to violent incidents.

The crime rate in Long Eaton fell by 13.1% in November 2023 compared to the previous month, dropping from 9.6 to 8.4 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as darker evenings and the end of the festive shopping period may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 11 reported crimes per day, a figure that provides context for local residents assessing their risk. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 119 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the frequency of incidents relative to population size. This metric, while not directly comparable to UK-wide figures, highlights the local impact of crime in a community of 38,186 people. The shift from the previous month’s higher rate may reflect seasonal changes, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this trend.
