Nottingham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a city of 331,077 residents, Nottingham recorded 4,343 crimes in June 2025, equating to a crime rate of 13.1 per 1,000 people. This figure is 61.7% higher than the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a stark contrast to national trends and underscoring the challenges faced by a major urban centre. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 29.9% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.6%) and shoplifting (11.7%). These patterns are consistent with the characteristics of a city with a significant student population, commercial hubs, and a history of social deprivation. The high rate of violence may be influenced by the concentration of nightlife and retail areas, which can contribute to increased incidents of assault and disorder. Anti-social behaviour, which is 55% above the UK average, often correlates with densely populated urban environments where noise complaints and public disturbances are more frequent. Shoplifting, at 138% above the UK average, is likely driven by the presence of large retail centres and high foot traffic areas. Seasonal factors may also play a role, as the start of summer typically brings more outdoor activity, contributing to both property and violent crimes. However, the overall rate of 13.1 per 1,000 remains a critical indicator for local authorities, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns across Nottingham. Vehicle crime rose sharply by 33.7%, increasing from 163 to 218 incidents—a jump that may be linked to increased car usage during warmer weather or events in the city. Conversely, burglary fell by 16.1%, with reported cases dropping from 155 to 130, suggesting a potential reduction in residential-targeted crimes. The category of violence and sexual offences remained 36% above the UK average, with 1299 incidents contributing to 29.9% of all crimes. Anti-social behaviour also remained high, at 55% above the UK average, with 719 reports. These figures highlight the persistent challenges in managing public order and violent crime in a major urban centre. For residents, the 33.7% increase in vehicle crime offers a concrete example of how seasonal factors can influence specific crime types.

Nottingham's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 4.2% compared to May, declining from 13.7 to 13.1 per 1,000 residents. This reduction, though modest, aligns with seasonal patterns typical of major urban centres where crime rates often fluctuate in response to environmental and social rhythms. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 145 crimes per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a city with a population of 331,077. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 76 residents in Nottingham during June. This statistic provides context for residents, illustrating the frequency of crime in a densely populated urban environment. While the rate remains significantly higher than the UK average, the slight downward trend may reflect localized factors such as increased policing efforts or community initiatives, though can be confirmed from the data alone.
