Clifton Nottingham Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Clifton (Nottingham) recorded a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents in November 2024, placing it 2.6% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This rate reflects a shift in crime patterns influenced by seasonal factors, including the transition into darker evenings and the peak of Black Friday shopping. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 32.3% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.1%) and shoplifting (16.1%). These figures align with the area's character as a built-up district within a larger urban centre, where high foot traffic in retail zones and public spaces may contribute to property-related crimes. The prominence of violence and sexual offences could be linked to the area's nightlife activity, though the rate remains consistent with typical urban trends. Shoplifting rates are significantly higher than the UK average, a pattern often seen in areas with concentrated retail presence. The month's context—marked by Bonfire Night and the tail end of Black Friday shopping—may have influenced spikes in property crimes, though the overall rate shows a slight decline compared to previous months. This suggests a combination of seasonal demand for goods and local policing efforts. The data underscores the need for targeted strategies in retail zones and public spaces, while the relatively stable rate of violent crimes indicates potential effectiveness of ongoing community initiatives.

November 2024 saw a marked decline in vehicle crime and burglary compared to October, with vehicle crime falling by 84.6% (from 13 to 2 incidents) and burglary dropping by 50.0% (from 4 to 2). These decreases may reflect seasonal changes, with colder weather reducing outdoor activity and potentially deterring vehicle-related offences. Conversely, theft from the person and robbery both increased by 100.0%, though these remain low-volume crimes (one incident each). This uptick could be attributed to the timing of Bonfire Night, which may have created temporary spikes in public gatherings. The shoplifting rate in Clifton was 88% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in retail areas. Anti-social behaviour also exceeded the UK average by 26%, a trend consistent with urban centres experiencing higher population density and social interaction. Meanwhile, drug-related offences rose by 66.7% (from 3 to 5), though this remains a small proportion of overall crimes. The data suggests a mixed picture: while property crime rates are showing improvement, targeted efforts may be needed to address the specific challenges of shoplifting and anti-social behaviour in high-traffic areas.

Clifton's crime rate in November 2024 (7.8 per 1,000) represents a 16.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 9.3 per 1,000, indicating a notable reduction in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 5 crimes per day, a figure that may resonate more intuitively for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 129 residents, a ratio that provides a concrete sense of the scale of crime in relation to the local population of 19,923. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the previous month's equivalent, suggesting a measurable improvement in community safety. When compared to the UK average, Clifton's rate remains slightly elevated, though the direction of change—downward—contrasts with the UK's overall trajectory. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the area's relative success in reducing crime compared to its own historical benchmarks. While the rate remains above the national average, the month-on-month decline aligns with broader trends observed in similar urban districts during the transition from late autumn to winter. These figures offer a nuanced view of Clifton's crime profile, balancing the need for continued vigilance with the recognition of positive progress.
