Bingham Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham's August 2025 crime profile reveals a distinct balance between property and violent crime, with property offences dominating at 41.5% of all incidents (22 out of 53) compared to 28.3% for violent crimes. This 35.8% gap from the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000 residents (Bingham's rate: 5.2) suggests effective local policing strategies, though the month's seasonal dynamics may partly explain the crime mix. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category (15 incidents), dropped by 31.8% from July, a trend consistent with the area's generally low violent crime rates. The property crime emphasis aligns with August's peak holiday season, when empty homes may increase burglary risks, though Bingham's rate for this category (0.5 per 1,000) remains below the UK average of 0.6. Other theft and vehicle crime, both rising slightly, highlight targeted risks in Bingham's built-up area. The overall rate, while stable compared to previous months, reflects a combination of local factors and broader UK trends, with Bingham's lower violent crime rates linked to its smaller, more tightly knit community structure. This balance between property and violent crime may indicate a need for tailored policing approaches, particularly as seasonal factors influence crime patterns.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 400% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 1 to 5 incidents. This jump, while statistically significant, remains below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 (Bingham's rate was 0.5). Concurrently, violence and sexual offences fell by 31.8%, dropping from 22 to 15, a decline that places Bingham 48% below the UK average for this category. The property-violent crime balance shifted with property crimes accounting for 41.5% of all incidents (22 out of 53) compared to 28.3% for violent crimes. This dominance of property crime may reflect August's seasonal context, with empty homes increasing burglary risks. Anti-social behaviour fell by 28.6%, aligning with Bingham's 66% below the UK average for this category. A resident would find the 2 daily crime incidents a useful benchmark for local awareness.

Bingham's crime rate in August 2025 rose 10.3% from the previous month's 4.7 to 5.2 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a slight upward trend. Daily crime activity averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the consistency of local policing efforts. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 191 residents, a monthly exposure rate that aligns with Bingham's historically stable crime profile. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, but the increase from July suggests seasonal factors may be at play. With a population of 10,128, the local context means each resident faces a proportionally smaller risk than the national average. month-on-month rise warrants monitoring. The comparison to the UK average highlights Bingham's effectiveness in crime prevention, though the rise in vehicle crime may signal new challenges tied to August's peak holiday activity.
