Bingham Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Bingham’s crime profile in July 2025, accounting for 45.8% of all reported crimes and 2.2 per 1,000 residents. This category alone is 28% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the 76% increase in ‘other crime’ which exceeds the UK average by 76%. The overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents places Bingham 45.3% below the UK average of 8.6, reflecting a consistently lower crime environment compared to national trends. This may partly explain the relatively low prevalence of property crime, which accounts for only 16.7% of all incidents (8 crimes), compared to 55% of UK crime being property-related. July’s peak summer season, with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely contributes to the prominence of violent crime, as crowded public spaces and extended evening hours create conditions where conflicts may escalate. Anti-social behaviour (14.6%) and public order offences (12.5%) further highlight the influence of seasonal activity, though both remain significantly below UK averages. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) and bicycle theft (0.1 per 1,000) suggests limited opportunities for such crimes in this built-up area, due to lower traffic density or effective local deterrents. While causation, the seasonal rhythm of Bingham’s small urban centre appears to shape crime patterns more than demographic factors.

July 2025 saw a doubling of violence and sexual offences, rising from 11 to 22 incidents—a 100% increase—despite the overall crime rate remaining below the UK average. This surge coincides with the peak of summer festivals and the absence of school holidays, which may have intensified social interactions in public spaces. Other crime also rose sharply by 200%, jumping from one to three cases, though this category remains under-researched nationally. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by two-thirds (3 to 1), possibly due to reduced traffic during holiday periods or increased security measures at car parks. The contrast between Bingham’s 0.1 per 1,000 rate for theft from the person and the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000 (33% below) illustrates the area’s relative safety, even as violent crime rises. Anti-social behaviour (14.6% of all crimes) remains 55% below the UK average, suggesting effective local policing or community engagement in managing disruptive behaviour. However, the 76% above-average rate for ‘other crime’ highlights a gap in understanding this category, which may include unclassified or emerging types of offences.

Bingham’s crime rate in July 2025 (4.7 per 1,000) marked an 11.1% decrease from June’s rate of 5.3, continuing a downward trend that positions the area 45.3% below the UK average. This translates to roughly two crimes reported per day, or one crime for every 211 residents over the course of the month—a figure significantly lower than the UK’s average monthly exposure of 1-in-116 residents. When scaled to Bingham’s population of 10,128, the daily crime rate suggests that most residents are unlikely to experience crime directly, though the concentration of violent incidents may create a perception of risk in specific areas. The previous month’s higher rate (5.3) may have been influenced by transitional factors, such as the end of school holidays or early summer events, which now appear to have subsided. Despite the overall decline, the 100% increase in violence and sexual offences underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly during peak summer activity. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) and the 74% below-average rate for vehicle-related offences further distinguish Bingham from larger urban centres, where such crimes are more common due to higher traffic volumes and parking challenges.
