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.
