Bingham Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Bingham during May 2025 reveals a distinct pattern shaped by both seasonal factors and the area's built-up character. With a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents—53.1% below the UK average—the overall profile suggests a relatively safe environment. The breakdown of crimes shows that property-related offences (19 incidents) and violent crimes (12 incidents) dominate the landscape, but their relative proportions shift slightly compared to previous months. Violence and sexual offences, at 31.6% of total crimes, remain the most prevalent category, though they are 58% below the UK average. This may be influenced by Bingham's position as a built-up area within Rushcliffe, where community policing and local initiatives could contribute to lower rates of serious violence. Meanwhile, property crimes, particularly burglary, show a 79% increase compared to the UK average, reflecting vulnerabilities in residential security or the area's proximity to transport routes. Seasonal factors in May—such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising—likely contribute to fluctuations in public order offences, which rose sharply by 200% compared to April. These patterns suggest that while Bingham maintains a generally low crime rate, targeted interventions may be needed to address specific vulnerabilities in property crime and public order management.

May 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with burglary rising by 150% (from 2 to 5 incidents) and public order offences doubling (from 1 to 3). This contrasts with a 20% decrease in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 15 to 12. The shift in crime mix highlights an unusual balance, with property-related crimes (19) now slightly outnumbering violent crimes (12) for the first time in recent months. Burglary in Bingham is 79% above the UK average (0.3 vs 0.5 per 1,000), a discrepancy that may reflect local factors such as the area's built-up character and proximity to larger urban centres. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences remain 58% below the UK average, suggesting a lower incidence of serious violent crime compared to national trends. These variations underscore the importance of examining specific crime categories rather than relying solely on overall rates.

Bingham's crime rate in May 2025 (3.8 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 5.6% increase compared to April's 3.6 per 1,000.1% below the UK average. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, this equates to one crime for every 267 residents over the course of the month, a ratio that underscores the relatively safe environment compared to broader UK trends. The population-scaled perspective highlights how infrequent criminal activity is in Bingham, even as specific categories like burglary and public order offences show notable month-on-month increases. This contrast between aggregate safety and isolated spikes in certain crime types illustrates the nuanced nature of local crime dynamics, where overall rates remain low despite fluctuations in particular areas.
