Bingham Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham's crime profile in June 2023 reveals a mixed picture of stability and change. With a crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents—27.1% below the UK average of 8.5—the area continues to show resilience compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime type was Violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.9% of all incidents, followed by Anti-social behaviour (20.6%) and Criminal damage and arson (15.9%). This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal and property-related issues, though the latter category exceeds the UK average for damage and arson by 56%. Seasonal context plays a role, as June marks the start of summer, a period when increased outdoor activity and tourism could influence crime patterns. However, Bingham's overall rate remains well below the UK average, which may reflect the area's character as a smaller, built-up locality within Rushcliffe. While violent crime remains the dominant category, the relative absence of theft from the person and shoplifting compared to UK averages hints at effective local policing or community engagement strategies. The seasonal transition to longer days may have contributed to a slight uptick in some categories, though the overall trend remains consistent with Bingham's historically lower crime rates.

June 2023 witnessed stark contrasts in crime trends, with three categories experiencing a 100% month-on-month increase: Other crime, Drugs, and Theft from the person. These jumps, from zero to three incidents each, highlight sudden shifts that may warrant local scrutiny. Meanwhile, Anti-social behaviour dropped by 13.3% (15 to 13 cases), and Public order offences fell by 20% (5 to 4 cases), indicating some success in addressing these issues. The breakdown shows a significant divergence from UK averages: Violence and sexual offences in Bingham are 25% below the UK rate, while Criminal damage and arson are 56% above. This mix suggests that while violent crime remains below average, property-related crimes like damage and arson are high. Residents might find the 100% increase in Other crime particularly noteworthy, as it signals a new category of incidents emerging in the area.

Bingham's crime rate in June 2023 rose 5.1% compared to May, moving from 5.9 to 6.2 per 1,000 residents. This places it firmly in the lower quartile of UK crime rates, with the overall rate 27.1% below the national average of 8.5 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day during the month, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall incidence. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 161 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's generally safer profile compared to the UK average. When considering the population context, Bingham's 10,128 residents mean that the 63 recorded crimes represent a manageable volume, with no single category dominating the statistics. This suggests that the local community and policing efforts may be effectively managing crime trends, even as small shifts in specific categories emerge.
