Gedling Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gedling’s crime rate for July 2025 stood at 5.6 per 1,000 residents, 34.9% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure, while lower than the national benchmark, highlights the area’s ongoing success in maintaining safer conditions despite the challenges of peak summer activity. The most common offences were violence and sexual offences (34.2% of all crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.1%) and shoplifting (9.9%). These patterns align with Gedling’s character as a mixed urban-rural district, where high streets and retail hubs contribute to shoplifting, while social dynamics in residential areas drive anti-social behaviour. The seasonal context of July—schools out, festivals, and tourism—likely influences crime trends, with increased foot traffic and outdoor events potentially contributing to both property and violent offences. However, the area’s overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting effective policing strategies or community engagement initiatives. Violent crimes, though the most frequent category, occurred at a rate 38% below the UK average, illustrating Gedling’s relative safety in this domain. The balance between property and violent crimes also shifted slightly during the month, with property-related offences (shoplifting, burglary) increasing modestly compared to the previous month. This shift may reflect the seasonal rhythm of retail activity and the timing of local festivals, which could draw attention away from other crime prevention efforts. Residents are advised to remain cautious, particularly in areas with high foot traffic, where shoplifting and anti-social behaviour are more likely to occur. The data also shows that while certain categories, such as burglary, saw sharp increases, others, like robbery and theft from the person, declined sharply, indicating a combination of factors that require further analysis.

July 2025 saw a 60% rise in burglary cases, with 16 incidents reported—up from 10 in June. This spike, though still below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, may partly explain the shift in crime mix toward property-related offences. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 34.2% of all crimes, but their rate of 1.9 per 1,000 was 38% below the UK average. Conversely, possession of weapons rose by 25%, reaching 0.1 per 1,000—25% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, a figure that could signal emerging trends in local conflict dynamics. Residents should note that anti-social behaviour, though down overall, remains a significant concern, with 21.1% of all crimes falling into this category.

Gedling’s crime rate in July 2025 fell to 5.6 per 1,000 residents, a 10.6% decrease from June’s 6.3 per 1,000. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistent trend of lower crime rates compared to national benchmarks. Over the course of July, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 177 residents—a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance during peak summer activity. Daily crime statistics show 22 crimes reported each day in Gedling, a local measure that does not directly compare to UK-wide averages but provides a clear snapshot of local patterns. The drop in overall crime aligns with seasonal factors, as July typically sees increased police presence during festivals and events, though the rise in certain offences suggests localized pressures that warrant attention.
