Nottingham Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Nottingham’s crime rate in November 2024 was 12.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the city 59.2% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of local demographics and seasonal factors, with the city’s urban density and economic dynamics likely contributing to its elevated rates. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 28.3% of all reported incidents—32% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 20.6%, a rate 125% higher than the national average, suggesting persistent challenges in managing public order in densely populated areas. Shoplifting, at 11.8% of total crimes, also exceeded the UK average by 103%, potentially influenced by the proximity of major retail hubs and the timing of Black Friday sales. Seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings may have heightened tensions in public spaces, though the overall crime rate showed a slight decline compared to October. The city’s higher-than-average rates for drug-related offences (131% above UK) and anti-social behaviour indicate structural issues that may require targeted interventions. While vehicle crime remained below the UK average, the sharp rise in robbery highlights the need for continued attention to personal safety in high-traffic zones. These patterns are consistent with Nottingham’s role as a major urban centre with a mix of commercial, residential, and educational districts, where the convergence of different populations can exacerbate crime dynamics.

November 2024 saw the most dramatic month-on-month change in robbery, which surged by 26.7% (45 → 57). This increase, though relatively small in absolute terms, stands out as the largest percentage shift across all crime categories. The rise in robbery may be linked to seasonal factors such as Black Friday shopping, where crowded retail environments could create opportunities for opportunistic theft. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 27.3% (194 → 141), a decline that contrasts with the UK average, where vehicle crime rates remained stable. This reduction could indicate effective local initiatives targeting car-related offences, such as improved CCTV coverage or community patrols. Meanwhile, drug-related offences climbed by 21.1% (161 → 195), a trend that aligns with the city’s consistently high drug crime rates—131% above the UK average. Residents might find the drop in vehicle crime particularly notable, as it suggests a potential shift in criminal focus from property to personal offences. However, the sharp rise in robbery underscores the need for continued vigilance in high-traffic areas during peak shopping periods.

Nottingham's crime rate in November 2024 stood at 12.1 per 1,000 residents, a 5.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 12.7. This decline, though modest, suggests a slight moderation in criminal activity over the past 30 days. On a daily basis, the city recorded approximately 133 crimes per day, a figure that, while consistent with recent trends, highlights the persistent volume of incidents in a densely populated urban area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 83 residents, a metric that contextualises the monthly exposure for Nottingham’s population of 331,077. This rate remains higher than the UK average, but the downward trend from October indicates potential shifts in policing strategies or seasonal factors. The reduction in vehicle crime, which fell by 27.3% compared to the previous month, may reflect improved security measures in parking areas or changes in commuter behaviour during November. These daily and monthly figures provide a tangible sense of the crime profile for residents, though they do not fully capture the nuanced variations in specific offence categories.
