Clifton (Nottingham) recorded a crime rate of 10.5 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, placing it 22.1% above the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of local factors, including the area’s role as a built-up district within a major urban centre. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.8% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.7%) and criminal damage and arson (8.1%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of July, a peak summer month marked by school holidays, festivals, and increased foot traffic in retail and nightlife areas. The high proportion of violent crime may be partly explained by the area’s proximity to Nottingham’s central amenities, which attract both residents and visitors during warmer weather. Anti-social behaviour, which is 29% above the UK average, could be exacerbated by the density of housing and the presence of younger populations in the area. Meanwhile, shoplifting and public order offences—both above UK averages—suggest challenges in managing public spaces during peak tourist periods. The data also highlights a stark contrast in crime types: while property crimes like burglary and vehicle theft remain relatively low, violent and anti-social incidents dominate, indicating a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas. This month’s statistics underscore the importance of understanding how local geography, demographics, and seasonal rhythms intersect with crime patterns, even as they remain within the broader context of national trends.
