Nottingham Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a city of 331,077 residents, Nottingham's 4,223 crimes in June 2024 equate to 12.8 crimes per 1,000 people—56.1% above the UK average of 8.2. This rate translates to roughly one crime for every 78 residents over the course of the month, a figure that underscores the scale of criminal activity in a major urban centre. The crime profile reveals a stark imbalance, with violence and sexual offences (29.5% of total) and anti-social behaviour (22.3%) dominating the landscape. These categories are significantly above national averages, with anti-social behaviour 107% higher and violence and sexual offences 38% higher. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the start of summer tourism, may partly explain the persistence of high violence rates, though urban centres often face year-round challenges in this area. Shoplifting (9.3%) and other theft (7.6%) further highlight vulnerabilities in retail and commercial zones, consistent with Nottingham's role as a regional hub. The data suggests a combination of local demographics, economic activity, and policing efforts, with property crimes and violent offences reflecting distinct but overlapping pressures on the city's crime picture.

June 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with burglary and vehicle crime increasing by 16.8% and 13.4% respectively. These rises may partly reflect warmer weather and increased outdoor activity, which could heighten opportunities for vehicle-related crimes. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 26.1%, a drop that may correlate with the start of summer holidays reducing public gatherings in certain areas. Violence and sexual offences remained high, at 38% above the UK average, while theft from the person was 41% below the national figure—a contrast that could indicate targeted policing efforts or demographic factors. The 9.3% share of shoplifting in total crimes underscores the retail sector's vulnerability, consistent with Nottingham's status as a major urban centre with a bustling high street. Residents might find the 3.8% rate of drug-related crimes, 138% above the UK average, particularly concerning in local neighbourhoods.

Nottingham's crime rate in June 2024 fell by 10.3% compared to May 2024, dropping from 14.2 to 12.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as summer begins and activity shifts outdoors. On a daily basis, the city recorded approximately 141 crimes per day in June, reflecting a consistent rhythm of urban life. When scaled to population, the monthly exposure rate of 1-in-78 residents highlights the frequency of crime in a densely populated area. This figure, while stark, provides a clear snapshot of how often residents might encounter crime in their daily routines. The decrease in anti-social behaviour and public order offences—down 26.1% and 16.3% respectively—suggests a possible reduction in disruptive incidents during the early summer months, though underlying factors such as community initiatives or seasonal tourism shifts may contribute. The daily crime count, while high, remains a local metric that does not directly compare to national averages, as UK-wide daily figures are not provided.
