Carlton (Gedling) Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Carlton (Gedling) recorded a crime rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents, 24.7% below the UK average of 8.1. This built-up area, part of the Gedling borough, experienced a notable seasonal shift as summer began, with longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity. The top crime types were violence and sexual offences (33.7% of all incidents), shoplifting (17.3%), and anti-social behaviour (17.0%). Violence and sexual offences, at 2.0 per 1,000, were 30% below the UK average, consistent with the area’s lower rates of violent crime. Shoplifting, however, stood out as 75% above the UK average, likely driven by the area’s retail presence and summer foot traffic. Anti-social behaviour, while not traditionally high, saw a sharp rise in June, possibly linked to seasonal gatherings or events. The overall crime profile suggests a balance between persistent challenges in retail crime and relatively low levels of violence. This context aligns with Carlton’s character as a mixed-use urban area, where commercial hubs and residential zones coexist, influencing crime patterns. The month’s data underscores the need for targeted measures in high-risk sectors while maintaining the area’s overall safety record.

June 2025 saw the most dramatic month-on-month change in anti-social behaviour, which surged by 112% (25 to 53 incidents). This spike, coupled with a 63.6% rise in shoplifting (33 to 54), suggests shifting dynamics in public spaces. Shoplifting alone exceeded the UK average by 75%, a stark contrast to other categories like burglary, which remained 64% below the national rate. Meanwhile, decreases in possession of weapons (-66.7%) and bicycle theft (-50%) indicate possible successes in targeted interventions. The violent crime rate (2.0 per 1,000) was 30% below the UK average, reflecting a safer profile for violent offences. These contrasting trends highlight the complexity of local crime patterns, with retail and public areas facing pressure while other sectors show improvement.

Carlton (Gedling)'s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 14.4% compared to May, moving from 5.3 to 6.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while still below the UK average of 8.1, highlights a shift in local patterns. Locally, 10 crimes were reported daily on average, translating to one crime for every 165 residents over the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the frequency of incidents within the built-up area’s population of 51,560. While the overall rate remains 24.7% lower than the UK average, the rise in June suggests potential pressures on local policing resources. The daily crime count, though modest, reflects the density of the area and the need for continued community engagement. This context helps residents understand the scale of crime relative to their immediate surroundings, even as the area remains comparatively safer than the national average.
