Calverton Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Calverton's crime profile in January 2025 reveals a striking contrast between violent crime and property crime. The area's overall crime rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents places it 21.1% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, a figure that suggests a relatively safer environment compared to national trends. However, the most notable outlier is the dominance of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 53.7% of all crimes reported—22 incidents in total. This category alone exceeds the UK average for this category by 20%, highlighting a significant deviation in the local crime mix. While property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remain well below national averages (with burglary at 0.3 per 1,000 and vehicle crime at 0.1 per 1,000), the concentration of violent crime challenges the assumption that lower overall rates equate to fewer serious incidents. Seasonal factors likely play a role in this pattern: January, as a post-holiday period, may see reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours, which could contribute to increased incidents of violence in residential areas. The area's built-up character within Gedling—likely characterised by a mix of housing and local amenities—may also influence crime dynamics, with limited public spaces concentrating interactions that could lead to conflict. This data suggests that while Calverton remains safer than average nationally, targeted attention to violent crime prevention could yield meaningful improvements.

January 2025 saw significant shifts in Calverton's crime profile, with three categories experiencing 100% increases from December 2024. Other crime, public order offences, and vehicle crime all rose from zero or lower previous counts to two incidents each, indicating sudden spikes in these areas. Conversely, anti-social behaviour, other theft, and shoplifting all fell by 50%, suggesting a temporary reduction in minor disturbances. These fluctuations may reflect seasonal patterns: the post-holiday period in January could see increased tensions in households, contributing to the rise in 'other crime' categories, while reduced retail activity might lower shoplifting opportunities. The category of violence and sexual offences—dominating 53.7% of all crimes—remains higher than the UK average for this category, which stands at 2.5 per 1,000. This divergence is significant given the UK average for violence is typically lower than Calverton's rate, suggesting local factors such as community dynamics or policing strategies may be at play. A resident might find the 100% increase in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a sudden rise in incidents that could be linked to unsecured vehicles in residential areas during colder months. Meanwhile, the drop in shoplifting—84% below the UK average—aligns with reduced foot traffic during January, illustrating how local economic activity patterns influence crime types.

Calverton's crime rate in January 2025 (5.6 per 1,000) represents a 7.9% increase from December 2024's rate of 5.2 per 1,000, though it remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 179 residents. This monthly aggregate provides context for residents: over the course of a month, the likelihood of experiencing a crime is relatively low compared to the UK average, which is typically higher in urban areas. However, the population-scaled perspective reveals that Calverton's smaller size amplifies the visibility of each incident. For instance, the 22 violence and sexual offences reported in January—20% above the UK average for this category—carry more weight in a community of 7,345 residents than they would in a larger urban area. The 100% increase in vehicle crime, while numerically small (from zero to one incident), suggests a potential vulnerability in local vehicle security practices during colder months. These comparisons highlight that while Calverton's overall safety profile is strong, specific categories demand attention, particularly those where local rates diverge significantly from national trends. The 7.9% month-on-month rise also underscores the importance of tracking short-term fluctuations, which could be influenced by factors such as temporary events or seasonal changes in community activity.
