East Leake Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

East Leake’s crime profile in June 2023 was defined by a stark contrast between interpersonal violence and the area’s overall low crime rate. With a total of 25 crimes reported—a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents—this built-up area within Rushcliffe remains 57.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. The dominant category, violence and sexual offences, accounted for 36% of all incidents, significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This suggests that while interpersonal conflicts are a persistent issue, their frequency is moderated by local factors such as community cohesion or effective policing. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 24% of total crimes, though it too remains below the UK average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced crime patterns, with increased daylight potentially reducing opportunities for burglary and other property crimes. However, the 28.6% rise in violent offences compared to May 2023 highlights a growing concern, linked to summer-related social gatherings or heightened tensions in public spaces. The breakdown of crimes reveals a profile skewed toward interpersonal rather than property-related incidents, a trend consistent with East Leake’s character as a low-density, commuter-oriented area. This dynamic underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the specific drivers of violence, such as alcohol-related incidents or disputes in local amenities, while maintaining the area’s broader safety record.

June 2023 saw a 28.6% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from seven to nine incidents. This category, at 1.3 per 1,000 residents, remains 55% below the UK average, suggesting that while local tensions may have risen, they are still far from national benchmarks. Conversely, burglary fell sharply by 75%, dropping from four to one incident, a trend consistent with reduced opportunities during summer months. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 40%, aligning with the broader drop in public order offences. This shift may reflect the influence of seasonal factors, such as increased community activity or improved lighting in public spaces. The area’s property crime rate—driven by theft and criminal damage—remains below the UK average, with other theft and criminal damage each contributing 12% of total crimes. These figures indicate a crime profile skewed toward interpersonal incidents rather than property-related offences, a pattern that may reflect East Leake’s built-up character and limited commercial density.

East Leake’s crime rate in June 2023 stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, a 30.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the summer season, when tourism and longer daylight hours may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, East Leake recorded approximately one crime per day over the month, a figure that reflects the area’s generally low crime profile. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 280 residents, underscoring the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. This rate is lower than the UK average, which suggests that East Leake’s community policing efforts or demographic characteristics—such as a stable, low-density population—may contribute to sustained safety. The drop in burglary by 75% compared to May 2023 further highlights a potential seasonal shift, with fewer domestic intrusions during warmer months when homes are more likely to be occupied or secured. These trends, while consistent with broader UK patterns, indicate that East Leake’s crime dynamics are shaped by local factors that distinguish it from more densely populated or tourist-heavy regions.
