Cotgrave Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2023, Cotgrave recorded a crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 38.6% below the UK average of 8.3 per 1,000. This discrepancy highlights a marked divergence from national trends, particularly in the balance between property and violent crime. While violent crimes accounted for 31% of all incidents (13 cases), property crimes made up just 21.4% (9 cases), a ratio that contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically dominates. The most prevalent category was anti-social behaviour, contributing 33.3% of all reported crimes, a figure that exceeded the UK average by 20%. This pattern may be influenced by Cotgrave's built-up character within Rushcliffe, where community interactions and public spaces could amplify such incidents. Seasonal factors likely played a role, as July—a peak summer month with schools out and festivals ongoing—often sees fluctuations in crime types. Anti-social behaviour, for instance, may rise in tandem with increased social gatherings, while violent crimes might be tempered by higher community visibility during daytime events. The lower-than-average property crime rate could be attributed to Cotgrave's suburban layout, which may limit opportunities for burglary or vehicle-related offences compared to denser urban areas. However, the surge in 'other theft' crimes—rising from zero to three cases—suggests a need for targeted local measures, linked to specific summer activities or events. Overall, Cotgrave's crime profile in July 2023 illustrates a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and the area's built environment, all of which may shape future trends.

July 2023 saw a 100% increase in 'other theft' crimes, rising from zero to three incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal activity patterns. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 33.3%, from 21 to 14 incidents, suggesting a possible reduction in summer-related disturbances. The balance between property and violent crimes shifted with 13 violent crimes reported compared to nine property crimes—a departure from the UK average, where violent crimes typically outnumber property crimes by a larger margin. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.7 per 1,000 residents, exceeded the UK average by 20%, indicating a localised challenge in managing public conduct. Meanwhile, 'violence and sexual offences' in Cotgrave were 42% below the UK average, a contrast that may be influenced by the area's suburban character and community-focused policing efforts.

Cotgrave's crime rate in July 2023 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a 17.7% decrease from the previous month's 6.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the summer season's typical patterns, where reduced foot traffic in some areas may contribute to lower opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while modest, reflects local rhythms. When scaled to the population, this equates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 197 residents over the course of the month. Given Cotgrave's built-up nature within Rushcliffe, this monthly exposure rate suggests a relatively low baseline of criminal activity compared to larger urban centres. The population context further underscores that Cotgrave's 8,261 residents experience fewer crimes per capita than the UK average, though localised factors such as community engagement and policing strategies may play a role in sustaining this trend.
