Bingham Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Bingham, 4.2 crimes were reported in December 2025 — a rate 40% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This means a resident has a 0.42% chance of being directly involved in a crime, a figure that puts the area's safety profile in stark contrast to national trends. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 40.5% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 21.4% and public order offences at 11.9%. These patterns align with seasonal factors: the Christmas shopping peak, extended dark evenings, and the temporary absence of residents during holiday travel. While the overall rate remains low, the concentration of violent crime suggests that localised factors — such as the area's proximity to transport hubs or social mixing during festive events — may contribute to the pattern. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, meaning Bingham's rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 34% below. This contrast highlights the area's relative success in managing violent crime. share of public order offences (which is 14% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000) indicates persistent challenges in maintaining public spaces. The seasonal context of December — with its mix of holiday gatherings and empty homes — likely amplifies risks in areas with high foot traffic or limited surveillance.

December 2025 saw a 125% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 4 to 9 incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.9 per 1,000 (Bingham's rate was 0.9 per 1,000), suggests heightened tensions during the festive period. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 87.5%, dropping from 8 to 1 incident, a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This decline may reflect reduced car usage during the holidays or increased security measures in car parks. Similarly, drug-related offences fell by 75%, from 4 to 1, though Bingham's rate of 0.1 per 1,000 remains 63% below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. The most notable deviation from UK trends was in 'other crime', which was 87% above the national average. This category's sharp rise — from 0.2 to 0.3 per 1,000 — may indicate unreported or under-categorised incidents that warrant further analysis. For residents, the 40.5% share of violence and sexual offences (1.7 per 1,000) serves as a reminder that while overall rates are low, targeted vigilance in high-risk areas remains crucial.

Bingham's crime rate in December 2025 (4.2 per 1,000) marked a 32.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.1 per 1,000, reflecting a significant downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 1 crime per day — a figure that translates to a 0.03% daily risk for any given resident. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 241 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic underscores the area's relative safety, particularly when compared to larger urban centres where crime rates are typically higher. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Bingham's low overall rate is driven by its success in reducing violent crime — which is 34% below the UK average — despite the 14% increase in public order offences. For context, if the UK's rate of 7.0 per 1,000 were applied to Bingham's population, the area would have seen 71 crimes instead of the 42 recorded. This disparity highlights the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives in mitigating crime. share of public order offences suggests that targeted interventions in specific areas could further improve safety metrics.
