East Leake Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in East Leake, 3 crimes were reported in November 2023 — a rate 60% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This translates to a local risk of roughly one crime per 333 residents over the course of the month, significantly lower than the national picture. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.9% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (23.8%) and public order offences (14.3%). These figures, while concerning for residents, remain well below the UK averages for each category: violent crimes were 50% below the national rate, anti-social behaviour 33% below, and public order offences 25% below. Seasonal factors likely played a role in the crime profile, with dark evenings and Black Friday shopping potentially contributing to public order incidents. The low overall rate suggests a community with relatively strong social cohesion and effective local policing, though the prominence of violent crime highlights areas for targeted intervention. The area's built-up character within Rushcliffe may influence crime patterns, with retail and community hubs driving anti-social behaviour and public order offences. Consistent with November's seasonal context, the drop in criminal damage and arson (66.7% month-on-month) could reflect reduced bonfire-related activity.

November 2023 saw a notable shift in crime patterns compared to October, with public order offences increasing by 50% (from 2 to 3 incidents). This rise, though modest, may be consistent with the timing of Bonfire Night, which typically falls in early November. Conversely, criminal damage and arson plummeted by 66.7% (from 6 to 2 incidents), potentially reflecting reduced pyrotechnic activity or heightened community vigilance. Anti-social behaviour also dropped sharply by 54.5% (from 11 to 5 incidents), suggesting effective local measures or seasonal lulls in disruptive activity. The overall crime mix remains skewed towards violent crime (42.9% share) and anti-social behaviour, though both categories remain significantly below UK averages. For example, violent crime in East Leake was 1.3 per 1,000 residents — 50% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with the national trend underscores the area's unique characteristics, linked to its built-up nature within Rushcliffe and the absence of large-scale retail or nightlife hubs that typically drive higher rates of property crime. Residents should note that while the overall rate is low, the prominence of violent crime (9 incidents) compared to property crime (4 incidents) indicates a need for continued focus on community safety initiatives.

East Leake's November 2023 crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents marked a 40% decline from the previous month's rate of 5.0 per 1,000, reflecting a substantial reduction in reported incidents. On a daily basis, this equated to roughly one crime per day across the built-up area — a figure that, while not insignificant, places the area well within the lower end of the national spectrum. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 333 residents, illustrating a level of exposure that is markedly lower than the UK average. This monthly exposure metric, when contextualised against East Leake's population of 7,001, suggests that the majority of residents experience no direct involvement with crime, a pattern consistent with the area's relatively low overall rate. The contrast with the UK average becomes even more pronounced when considering specific categories: for instance, public order offences in East Leake were 25% below the national rate, despite the seasonal impact of Bonfire Night. This comparison highlights the effectiveness of local policing and community engagement in mitigating crime, even during periods of heightened activity. The population-scaled perspective further reinforces the notion that East Leake's crime profile is an outlier in the UK context, with its residents facing a risk level that is a fraction of the national average.
