Bingham Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bingham’s September 2025 crime rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents places it 17.6% below the UK average of 7.4, marking one of the lowest rates in the built-up area’s recent history. The most prominent category—violence and sexual offences—accounted for 38.7% of total crimes (24 cases), with a rate of 2.4 per 1,000, 7% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime remains a concern in Bingham, it is less prevalent than nationally. Conversely, drug-related crimes stood out as a stark outlier, with a rate of 0.6 per 1,000 (6 cases), 131% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This sharp divergence from national trends may reflect localized factors, such as increased youth activity during the university freshers’ period in late September. The seasonal context—back-to-school routines and the transition to shorter evenings—likely contributes to higher visibility of drug-related incidents in public spaces. Other theft and anti-social behaviour also rose slightly, though both remain within or below UK averages. The overall crime profile in Bingham, while showing a slight monthly increase, continues to contrast with national patterns, particularly in the dominance of violent crime and the anomaly of drug-related offences. These trends may be influenced by Bingham’s character as a commuter-focused built-up area within Rushcliffe, where transient populations and proximity to Nottinghamshire’s universities could shape crime dynamics.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 200% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 2 to 6 incidents—a jump that places Bingham’s rate 131% above the UK average for this category. Burglary also doubled from 2 to 4 cases, though this remains 43% above the UK average. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 60%, from 5 to 2 incidents, aligning with the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. The shift in crime mix is notable: violent crimes (38.7% of total) now dominate over property crimes (30.6%), a reversal from August’s balance. This violent crime surge, particularly in violence and sexual offences (24 cases), may partly explain the 17.0% monthly rate increase. Residents might find the 200% drug crime spike particularly concerning, as it outpaces national trends and could signal localized pressures. The 60% drop in vehicle crime, however, suggests that recent community initiatives or environmental factors—such as reduced car parking in public areas—may be having an impact.

Bingham's crime rate in September 2025 rose 17.0% from 5.2 to 6.1 per 1,000 residents compared to August, marking the first monthly increase since early 2025. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that remains lower than the UK average when scaled to Bingham’s population. Over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 163 residents, a monthly aggregate that reflects a relatively low exposure compared to national benchmarks. This rate, while slightly above the UK average for property crimes, is significantly below the UK rate for violent crimes. The population context—10,128 residents—further illustrates that even with the 17.0% rise, the absolute number of crimes (62) remains modest when distributed across the built-up area’s demographics. The shift in crime mix, with violent offences outpacing property crimes, contrasts with the previous month’s balance, suggesting seasonal or localized factors may be influencing patterns in Bingham.
