Calverton Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

July 2025 marked a continued decline in Calverton's overall crime rate, with 6.0 crimes per 1,000 residents — 30.2% below the UK average of 8.6. This rate reflects a built-up area within Gedling, where seasonal dynamics such as summer festivals and extended school holidays may partly explain fluctuations in reported incidents. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (14 cases, 31.8% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (7 cases, 15.9%) and criminal damage and arson (6 cases, 13.6%). These figures contrast with the UK averages for these categories, where violence and sexual offences were 38% lower, anti-social behaviour 35% lower, and criminal damage and arson 31% higher in Calverton. The area's lower-than-average violent crime rate aligns with its relatively stable community profile, though the rise in property-related crimes like shoplifting and burglary suggests shifting patterns. July, a peak summer month with tourism and festivals, may have influenced activity levels in public spaces and retail areas. The absence of major spikes in vehicle crime or burglary compared to UK averages indicates that local initiatives or environmental factors — such as lighting in public areas or community policing efforts — could be contributing to the area's generally safer profile.

July 2025 saw a significant 10.2% drop in Calverton's overall crime rate compared to June, driven by a 44% decrease in violence and sexual offences (from 25 to 14 cases). This decline contrasts with sharp increases in shoplifting (300% rise, 1 to 4 cases) and burglary (100% rise, 0 to 1 case), suggesting a shift in criminal activity towards property crimes. Anti-social behaviour also fell, but criminal damage and arson rose by 100%, reaching 6 cases — 31% above the UK average for this category. Calverton's violent crime rate (1.9 per 1,000) remains 38% below the UK average, while shoplifting (0.5 per 1,000) is 23% below the national figure. Residents may find the 300% surge in shoplifting particularly concerning, as it indicates potential vulnerabilities in retail security during peak summer months. The rise in criminal damage and arson, though relatively small in absolute terms, highlights the need for continued vigilance in public spaces and community areas.

Calverton's crime rate in July 2025 (6.0 per 1,000) represents a 10.2% decrease from June's 6.7 per 1,000, marking a consistent downward trend over recent months. On a daily basis, this translates to approximately one crime reported per day in Calverton — a figure that, while low, underscores the area's relatively safe environment compared to broader UK trends. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 167 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. With a population of 7,345, the area's crime statistics suggest that local factors — such as community cohesion, targeted policing, or environmental design — may be playing a role in maintaining lower-than-average rates. The contrast between Calverton's performance and the UK average is particularly evident in categories like violence and sexual offences, where the area's rate is 38% lower, and anti-social behaviour, which is 35% below the national benchmark. These figures indicate that Calverton's built-up area within Gedling may benefit from specific characteristics, such as a strong sense of community or effective local governance, that contribute to its safer profile compared to the UK as a whole.
