Carlton (Gedling) Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carlton (Gedling) recorded a crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents in September 2025, placing it 39.2% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This figure underscores a community where crime is not only less frequent but also distinctly lower in certain categories. Violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.7% of all reported crimes, were 34% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the national profile. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 14.4% of incidents and remaining 49% below the UK rate. The data suggests a built-up area with a unique crime profile, where property-related offences such as shoplifting and vehicle crime are also significantly lower than national averages. Seasonal factors, including the return of students and the transition into autumn, may have influenced patterns, though the overall trend remains one of relative safety. The dominance of violent crimes in the local breakdown may reflect the area's demographic composition, with higher concentrations of younger residents or specific community dynamics. However, the low rates of property crime suggest effective local strategies, whether through policing, community engagement, or environmental design. The month's data, combined with the broader context of a declining trend from the previous month, indicates a period of relative stability, though the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson warrants further analysis.

September 2025 marked a 100% increase in bicycle theft, with incidents rising from 1 to 2, a sharp contrast to the 50% decline in robbery, which fell from 4 to 2. These shifts highlight a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics, such as the return of students and the impact of changing weather on outdoor activities. The most significant month-on-month rise was in criminal damage and arson, which doubled from 11 to 22, potentially linked to the transition into autumn and increased property maintenance. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 40%, from 15 to 9, suggesting a possible reduction in alcohol-related incidents during the early weeks of the month. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 38.7% of all crimes—remained 34% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect the area's lower population density or stronger community policing efforts.

Carlton (Gedling)'s crime rate in September 2025 fell by 12.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 5.1 to 4.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced activity across several categories, including public order offences and robbery. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 8 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall crime profile. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure rate—1 reported crime for every 224 residents—suggests a level of safety that contrasts sharply with the UK average. This statistic, combined with the 39.2% gap between Carlton's rate and the national average, indicates a community where crime is not only less frequent but also lower in certain categories. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that residents are statistically less likely to encounter crime than the average UK citizen, though localised factors such as community engagement or policing strategies may contribute to this trend.
