Bingham Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 4.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 39% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a consistent pattern of lower-than-average crime levels in the area, which is likely influenced by Bingham’s character as a small built-up area within Rushcliffe. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.4% of all reported incidents, though these remained 36% below the UK average. Property crimes followed closely, making up 35.4% of the total, with shoplifting and burglary contributing to this category. The seasonal context of October—marked by the clocks going back and the onset of darker evenings—may have played a role in shaping these patterns, as reduced visibility and altered routines could influence both criminal activity and policing effectiveness. While the overall crime rate is lower than the national average, the data reveals notable disparities within specific categories. For instance, possession of weapons offences surged sharply, reaching a rate 471% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the significant declines in public order and anti-social behaviour. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of local crime trends and the need for ongoing analysis to identify emerging patterns. The balance between violent and property crimes also suggests a relatively stable environment, with no single category dominating the statistics. This nuanced picture is essential for residents and local authorities to understand the factors contributing to Bingham’s crime profile and to tailor interventions accordingly.

October 2025 saw a 300% increase in possession of weapons offences, rising from one to four incidents. This sharp rise contrasts with a 50% decrease in public order offences, which dropped from four to two. Shoplifting also rose by 100%, moving from zero to four incidents, suggesting potential seasonal factors linked to Halloween and darker evenings. Violent crime rates remained 36% below the UK average, despite the increase in weapons possession. The decrease in drugs-related offences—halving from six to three—may reflect targeted policing efforts or natural fluctuations in illicit activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour also fell by 50%, indicating a possible reduction in community tensions or improved local initiatives. These shifts highlight a combination of specific crime trends and broader contextual factors, such as the timing of holidays and changes in public behaviour during shorter days.

Bingham's crime rate in October 2025 dropped by 22.5% compared to the previous month, falling from 6.1 to 4.7 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in the area during the autumn season, where reduced daylight hours and seasonal transitions may contribute to lower reported incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that remains consistent with historical patterns for Bingham. When considering the monthly exposure, the data reveals that over the course of October, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 211 residents. This monthly rate provides a clear picture of the frequency of crime in relation to the local population, offering residents a tangible measure of safety. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Bingham’s crime profile, while lower than the UK average, reflects a balanced distribution of crime types, with no single category dominating the statistics. This context is crucial for understanding how the area’s crime profile interacts with its demographic and geographic characteristics.
