Cotgrave Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Cotgrave’s crime profile in June 2025, contributing 41.5% of all reported crimes. With a total crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 38.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This suggests a generally safer environment compared to the national trend, though the prominence of violent crime highlights specific local concerns. The breakdown reveals a stark contrast between property crimes (12 incidents) and violent crimes (17 incidents), with the latter accounting for the majority of the 41 total crimes recorded. Anti-social behaviour (8 incidents) and other theft (5 incidents) follow as the next most common categories. Seasonal context may play a role in these patterns: as June marks the start of summer, increased public activity in local parks, open spaces, and community events could contribute to the higher proportion of violent and public order offences. However, the area’s relatively low overall crime rate compared to the UK average may reflect a combination of effective local policing, community engagement initiatives, and the built-up nature of Cotgrave itself, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. The lower prevalence of vehicle crime (1 incident) and burglary (1 incident) compared to UK averages could also indicate that the area’s infrastructure or residential density reduces vulnerabilities associated with these offences. While direct causal links, the seasonal shift to longer days and warmer weather may influence both the frequency and visibility of crime, particularly in public spaces.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with public order offences surging by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents) and vehicle crime doubling (from 0 to 1 incident). Similarly, criminal damage and arson increased by 100% (from 0 to 4 incidents), raising questions about potential factors such as increased public gatherings or seasonal events. These increases contrast with notable declines in burglary (down 66.7%, from 3 to 1 incident) and anti-social behaviour (down 11.1%, from 9 to 8 incidents), which may reflect the impact of local initiatives or changes in community activity. While violent crime remains the dominant category, Cotgrave’s rate of 2.1 per 1,000 for violence and sexual offences is 27% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Conversely, other theft in Cotgrave (0.6 per 1,000) is 18% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, suggesting a localised challenge in this category. Residents may find the sharp rise in public order offences particularly concerning, as this category often includes disturbances that can affect the quality of life in shared spaces. The absence of significant changes in burglary or vehicle crime, despite the overall upward trend in some categories, indicates that the area’s crime profile remains complex, with different factors influencing different types of crime.

Cotgrave’s June 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents represents a 36.6% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.6 per 1,000. This rise, while notable, still places Cotgrave well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 1 crime per day over the 30-day period, translating to a monthly exposure rate of 1 reported crime for every 201 residents. This figure offers a tangible context for residents, illustrating that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is relatively low compared to the national average. The population-scaled perspective further underscores Cotgrave’s position as a comparatively safe area, with the 8,261 residents collectively facing a crime rate that is significantly lower than the UK benchmark. However, the month-on-month increase in public order offences and other categories highlights the need for ongoing vigilance. The comparison to the UK average also reveals that Cotgrave’s violent crime rate is 27% below the national figure, which may be attributed to local policing strategies or the area’s built-up nature. In contrast, the 18% above average rate for other theft suggests a specific vulnerability that may require targeted measures. These comparisons provide a nuanced understanding of Cotgrave’s crime profile, balancing the overall safety of the area with the need to address emerging trends.
