Nuneaton and Bedworth Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime rate in Nuneaton and Bedworth for November 2024 stood at 7.5 per 1,000 residents, 1.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure marks a notable improvement from the previous month’s rate of 8.5 per 1,000, indicating an 11.8% decline. The area’s crime profile remains dominated by violence and sexual offences (32.2% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (18.5%) and vehicle crime (9.0%). Seasonal factors, including the darkening evenings of November and the timing of Bonfire Night, likely influenced the distribution of offences. Violence and sexual offences, at 2.4 per 1,000, were 7% below the UK average, potentially reflecting effective community policing or targeted interventions. Anti-social behaviour, however, was 26% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may be linked to local demographic patterns or the area’s urban-rural mix. Vehicle crime, at 0.7 per 1,000, was 59% above the UK average, a figure that may be tied to the region’s reliance on commuter transport and the vulnerability of parked vehicles in residential zones. These patterns suggest that while overall crime is trending downward, specific categories require continued monitoring and tailored strategies to address their unique drivers.

November 2024 saw a sharp 116.7% increase in robbery cases, rising from 6 to 13, a change that may reflect heightened activity during the festive season or shifts in policing focus. Other theft also rose by 31.9%, potentially linked to increased retail activity during Black Friday. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 71.4% (from 7 to 2), a decrease consistent with improved security measures or reduced foot traffic during colder evenings. Anti-social behaviour remained a significant concern, with rates 26% above the UK average, influenced by seasonal gatherings and Bonfire Night events. Vehicle crime, meanwhile, was 59% above the UK average, a figure that may be tied to the area’s commuter networks and parking infrastructure. These shifts highlight the combination of local conditions and broader national trends.

The crime rate in November 2024 (7.5 per 1,000) reflects an 11.8% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.5 per 1,000, marking the lowest recorded rate in Nuneaton and Bedworth for this period. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 35 crimes per day, a figure that, while lower than October, remains significant for residents. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 134 residents—a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. This aligns with broader trends observed in similar-sized urban areas, where seasonal transitions and retail activity often influence crime dynamics. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate is below the UK average, the distribution of crime types—such as anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime—suggests localized factors may play a role, potentially linked to community engagement or environmental conditions.
