Nuneaton and Bedworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Nuneaton and Bedworth's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 9.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 13.6% above the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a persistent challenge in the local authority district, where the mix of crime types highlights both ongoing concerns and emerging patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.5% of total crimes, a rate of 3.2 per 1,000 that is 12% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, occurred at a rate of 2.2 per 1,000, 55% above the national benchmark, underscoring the need for community-focused interventions. Shoplifting, at 0.7 per 1,000, rose by 20% compared to May, consistent with the start of summer and increased retail activity. These trends align with the seasonal context of June, when longer days and the beginning of tourism may influence crime dynamics, particularly in areas with high foot traffic. While property crimes remained relatively stable, the dominance of violent and anti-social crimes suggests a need for targeted policing strategies in public spaces. The local profile, likely shaped by a mix of urban and suburban areas, continues to see challenges in managing public order, with anti-social behaviour and violence forming a significant portion of reported incidents. This pattern is not uncommon in mid-sized towns with a diverse population, where social cohesion and community engagement play critical roles in mitigating crime.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in specific crime categories, with shoplifting rising by 20% to 102 incidents, a figure that remains 11% above the UK average. This increase may partly reflect the start of summer, when retail activity intensifies. Conversely, burglary decreased by 14% to 37 incidents, the lowest level in the category since at least May. Other crime also fell by 27%, dropping from 37 to 27 incidents, though this category remains 22% below the UK average. Robbery, however, surged by 50% to 12 incidents, a sharp rise that contrasts with the 9% UK average for the category. These shifts highlight a complex mix of local factors, with anti-social behaviour continuing to dominate at 24.4% of total crimes, 55% above the UK average. Residents should note the 20% increase in shoplifting, which may be linked to seasonal retail patterns.

The crime rate in Nuneaton and Bedworth rose by 6.9% compared to May 2025, increasing from 8.6 to 9.2 per 1,000 residents. This places the area 13.6% above the UK average of 8.1, a gap that has widened slightly over recent months. On a daily basis, the local area recorded approximately 43 crimes per day in June, reflecting the cumulative impact of persistent issues. When scaled to the population of 141,565, this means one reported crime occurred for roughly every 109 residents over the course of the month. While this figure remains a local benchmark without a UK-wide equivalent, it underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas. The population context highlights that the rate, though elevated, still represents a relatively small proportion of the population, though the mix of crime types suggests specific local challenges that require attention.
