Calverton Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2025, Calverton’s crime rate stood at 7.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.5% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure translates to a per-capita risk that is lower than the national benchmark, though the distribution of crime types reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences dominated the landscape, accounting for 60.4% of all reported crimes (32 incidents), far exceeding their share in the UK context. This category’s rate (4.4 per 1,000) is 69% above the UK average, a striking contrast to the 2.6 per 1,000 national figure. Such a disparity may be influenced by local factors, such as the area’s built-up character within Gedling, which could foster higher concentrations of social interactions or tensions. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, is 47% below the UK average, suggesting that community-focused policing or informal social controls may be effective in curbing such disturbances. Meanwhile, shoplifting and other property crimes, while lower than the UK average, showed a 100% increase from March, linked to Easter-related foot traffic or seasonal retail patterns. The overall crime rate, though modest, reflects a balance between rising violent incidents and declining property crimes, a dynamic that may be shaped by the area’s transition from winter to spring, when outdoor activities and events could influence crime opportunities. This interplay between seasonal shifts and local conditions underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of how crime manifests in urban environments.

April 2025 saw a stark increase in violence and sexual offences, surging by 128.6% from March’s 14 to 32 incidents. This jump, while significant, contrasts with an 86.4% drop in criminal damage and arson, which fell from 22 to 3. The violent crime rate in Calverton (4.4 per 1,000) is 69% above the UK average for this category, a disparity that may reflect local factors such as population density or seasonal social dynamics. Meanwhile, shoplifting increased by 100% to four incidents, though this remains 24% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, is 47% below the UK rate, potentially indicating effective community engagement or policing efforts in this area. Residents might find the 1-in-139 monthly exposure rate particularly reassuring, though the rise in violent crime warrants attention from local authorities.

Calverton’s crime rate in April 2025 fell to 7.2 per 1,000 residents, an 8.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.9. This decline aligns with a broader seasonal trend, as spring weather and Easter-related activities may have temporarily reduced opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day in April, a figure that, while low, reflects the area’s generally stable security profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 139 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low risk of encountering crime in everyday life. This statistic is particularly meaningful for residents, as it provides a tangible sense of how frequently crime intersects with daily routines. While the rate remains below the UK average, the fluctuation between months highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring to identify patterns that may require targeted interventions.
