Bingham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham's crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents in April 2025 stands 53.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, marking one of the most significant disparities between this built-up area and national trends. This figure reflects a consistent pattern of lower crime rates in Bingham compared to the UK, with the area's overall safety profile aligning with its character as a relatively low-density, suburban-style settlement within Rushcliffe. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 41.7% of all reported crimes—though this rate remains 43% below the UK average for the same category. Criminal damage and arson followed at 13.9%, with anti-social behaviour at 11.1%, both significantly below national benchmarks. Seasonal factors in April, including the Easter period and spring weather, likely contribute to increased outdoor activity, which may partly explain the proportion of violent crimes compared to property crimes. However, the overall balance between property and violent crime remains skewed toward the latter, a trend consistent with Bingham's demographic profile and the presence of local amenities that may attract transient populations. The data does not suggest any sudden spikes or systemic issues, but rather a stable, low-crime environment that contrasts sharply with the UK average.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with violence and sexual offences increasing by 36.4% compared to March, rising from 11 to 15 incidents. This jump, though still below the UK average for the category, suggests heightened tensions or activity in specific areas. Concurrently, drug-related crimes and possession of weapons both saw 100% increases, moving from zero to one incident each—a small but significant change that may reflect seasonal influences or isolated incidents. Vehicle crime, however, dropped by 60% (from 5 to 2), potentially linked to reduced vehicle movement during Easter holidays or improved local security measures. The proportion of violent crimes (41.7%) outpaced property crimes (30.6%), a shift from previous months that could indicate seasonal dynamics or changes in local policing focus. Bingham's rate of public order offences (2.8 per 1,000) is 80% below the UK average, a stark contrast that may relate to the area's quieter, more residential character compared to bustling urban centres. For residents, the 12.3% monthly decline in overall crime rates offers a tangible reassurance that local efforts to maintain safety are showing results.

Bingham's April 2025 crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents represents a 12.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.1, continuing a downward trend that has positioned the area well below the UK average. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 281 residents—a figure that, when contextualised against the UK's higher rates, illustrates the relative safety of Bingham's built-up area. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a low frequency that aligns with its suburban nature and lower population density compared to major urban centres. When scaled to the local population of 10,128, the monthly exposure of 1-in-281 residents provides a concrete measure of risk that is significantly more favourable than national benchmarks. This comparison is particularly striking given the UK's overall crime rate, which is more than double Bingham's. The area's demographic profile—likely characterised by a mix of established residential communities and limited commercial hubs—may contribute to this divergence, as such environments often see lower levels of opportunistic crime. While the exact reasons for Bingham's sustained safety, its position relative to the UK average underscores the effectiveness of local policing and community dynamics in maintaining low crime rates.
