Carlton (Gedling) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 presented a mixed picture for Carlton (Gedling), with a crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000—31.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This lower-than-average figure reflects a broader trend of reduced property crime and violent offences. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 39.4% of all crimes, followed by shoplifting (13.1%) and anti-social behaviour (11.2%). The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping, may have influenced patterns, particularly in public order and theft-related incidents. While the overall rate remained stable compared to the previous month, the data underscores the need for vigilance in areas where specific crimes have risen. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, meaning Carlton’s rate is 22% below the national benchmark, a factor that may be attributed to local policing strategies or community initiatives. However, the sharp increase in theft from the person—rising from zero to one incident—highlights a new vulnerability that requires targeted action. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, remains a persistent issue, with 43% fewer incidents than the national rate. The low rates of burglary and theft from the person, both at 0.0 per 1,000, suggest that targeted efforts to secure properties and public spaces may be effective. Yet the surge in other theft and public order offences indicates that seasonal factors and commercial activity can still drive crime in unexpected ways. As the month progressed, the interplay of these trends illustrates a community that is generally safer than the UK average but faces unique challenges during periods of heightened activity and reduced visibility.

November 2025 marked a sharp increase in theft from the person, with a 100.0% rise from zero to one incident, a concerning development for residents. Other theft also surged by 90.0%, climbing from 10 to 19 cases, likely tied to seasonal retail activity and Black Friday shopping. Public order offences rose by 50.0%, from eight to 12 incidents, a trend consistent with the impact of dark evenings and Bonfire Night events. Conversely, burglary plummeted by 80.0%, dropping from five to one case, possibly reflecting heightened community awareness or police presence. Drugs-related crimes fell by 70.0%, from 10 to three, though this remains a category where the UK average is still 63% higher. The area’s violent crime rate—2.0 per 1,000—is 22% below the UK average, but the surge in theft from the person highlights a growing vulnerability. Residents should be particularly cautious in areas with high foot traffic during late-night hours, where the risk of targeted theft has risen.

Carlton (Gedling) maintained a stable crime rate in November 2025, with a 2.0% decrease from the previous month’s 5.1 per 1,000 to the current 5.0 per 1,000. This stability suggests no major spikes or dips in overall criminal activity, though localized shifts in specific crime types are evident. Daily crime activity averaged roughly nine incidents per day, a figure that contextualizes the pace of incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 199 residents, a measure that reflects the population-scaled risk. This rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, which stands at 7.3 per 1,000, but the monthly exposure metric highlights that residents are not entirely immune to crime. The population context—51,560 individuals—means that while the overall rate is low, the absolute number of incidents (259) still requires attention, particularly in areas where specific crime types have risen. The comparison to the previous month underscores the need for continued monitoring, as even small fluctuations can indicate emerging patterns.
