Nottingham Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2024, Nottingham recorded 4,223 crimes across its population of 331,077 residents, equating to a crime rate of 12.8 per 1,000 people. This figure places the city 56.1% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, underscoring a significant disparity in local crime levels compared to the national context. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 29.5% of all reported incidents—3.8 per 1,000 residents. This category was 38% above the UK average, reflecting a persistent challenge in addressing violent crime in the area. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 22.3% of the total with a rate of 2.9 per 1,000, 107% above the national average. These statistics align with Nottingham's status as a major urban centre with a mix of retail, nightlife, and educational institutions, all of which can contribute to higher rates of certain crimes. Shoplifting, at 1.2 per 1,000, was 94% above the UK average, likely driven by the city's high street activity and the presence of major retail hubs. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may have influenced crime patterns, with increased foot traffic in public spaces potentially contributing to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and shoplifting. However, the overall crime rate remains a concern, necessitating targeted interventions to address the areas where Nottingham significantly outperforms the UK average.

June 2024 saw notable shifts in crime trends within Nottingham. Burglary increased by 16.8% compared to May, with 146 incidents reported, while vehicle crime rose by 13.4% to 152 cases. These increases may reflect heightened summer activity or changes in property security practices. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 26.1% to 943 incidents, and public order offences fell by 16.3% to 261 cases, linked to improved community engagement or seasonal changes in public behaviour. Violence and sexual offences remained high, with a rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents—38% above the UK average. This category alone accounted for 29.5% of all reported crimes, highlighting a critical area for targeted policing efforts. Meanwhile, theft from the person was 41% below the UK average, suggesting that local initiatives or environmental factors may be contributing to reduced rates of this specific offence.

Nottingham's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 12.8 per 1,000 residents, a 10.3% decrease from the previous month's 14.2 per 1,000. This represents a local slowdown in reported crimes, though the area still remains significantly above the UK average. On a daily basis, the city recorded approximately 141 crimes per day in June, highlighting the persistent need for community vigilance. When viewed through the lens of population exposure, over the course of the month, one crime was reported for roughly every 78 residents. This monthly figure underscores the frequency of incidents experienced by Nottingham's population, though it does not reflect daily fluctuations. The drop from May suggests potential shifts in seasonal activity, with the transition from spring to summer possibly influencing crime patterns in public spaces and residential areas. However, the overall rate remains a stark contrast to the UK average, indicating ongoing challenges in maintaining lower crime levels compared to the national context.
