Cotgrave Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Cotgrave, 5.3 crimes were reported in November 2025—a rate 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure translates to a daily risk of roughly one crime per day for the built-up area within Rushcliffe, a context that helps residents gauge their personal exposure. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (25 cases, 56.8% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (6 cases, 13.6%) and vehicle crime (4 cases, 9.1%). These patterns align with seasonal dynamics: the spike in anti-social behaviour may be linked to Bonfire Night, while the prevalence of violence could reflect broader societal factors. Cotgrave’s crime profile contrasts with national trends in several ways. Its violent crime rate is 17% above the UK average, yet anti-social behaviour remains 34% below, suggesting localised differences in policing or community dynamics. The low rate of shoplifting (84% below UK average) may reflect the area’s smaller retail footprint or effective preventive measures. November’s darker evenings and Black Friday shopping activity could also influence crime patterns, though the overall rate remains comparatively low. These statistics illustrate that while Cotgrave faces specific challenges, its crime profile is distinct from national benchmarks, shaped by its compact built-up character and seasonal rhythms.

November saw dramatic shifts in Cotgrave’s crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 500% (from 1 to 6 incidents) and vehicle crime rising 300% (from 1 to 4). These spikes, though alarming, contrast with a 66.7% drop in 'other crime' (from 3 to 1). The area’s violent crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 (56.8% of all crimes) is 17% above the UK average for this category, reflecting persistent local challenges. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remains 34% below the UK average, possibly due to effective community engagement or lower population density. For residents, the 500% increase in anti-social behaviour highlights the need for caution during November events, though the overall crime rate remains significantly below national levels. The sharp rise in vehicle crime may be tied to seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic around shopping areas or events.

Cotgrave's crime rate in November 2025 rose 37.7% compared to the previous month, climbing from 3.9 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while notable, still leaves the area 27.4% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics reveal a localised figure of roughly one crime per day, a manageable frequency for a built-up area within Rushcliffe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 188 residents—a ratio that contextualises risk in terms of daily life. This monthly exposure rate, though low, reflects the area’s relatively safe profile compared to national trends. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Cotgrave’s lower crime rate may partly stem from its compact, community-oriented structure, which can foster quicker policing responses and stronger local networks. However, the recent uptick in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime suggests seasonal factors, such as Bonfire Night and post-Christmas shopping activity, may temporarily elevate risk. These fluctuations underscore the need for ongoing vigilance, even in areas with historically low crime rates.
