East Leake Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in East Leake, 5.4 crimes were reported in November 2024, placing the area 28.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime for every 184 residents over the course of the month. The most common crime category was anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 34.2% of all reported incidents, followed by violence and sexual offences (26.3%) and public order offences (13.2%). These figures align with seasonal patterns typical for November, a month marked by Bonfire Night celebrations and the Black Friday shopping rush, both of which can contribute to increased anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. The area's relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average may reflect its character as a built-up area within Rushcliffe, where community cohesion and local policing efforts likely play a role in maintaining safety. However, the prominence of anti-social behaviour suggests that targeted interventions in public spaces and event management could further reduce incidents. The seasonal context of November—characterised by darker evenings and increased foot traffic during shopping periods—may also influence crime patterns, with opportunities for anti-social acts rising in poorly lit or crowded areas. The relatively low property crime rate (6 incidents) compared to violent crime (10 incidents) indicates that personal safety concerns may be more pressing for residents than property-related risks, though this balance could shift with changing environmental factors.

November 2024 saw a 15.3% increase in East Leake's crime rate compared to the previous month, rising from 4.7 to 5.4 per 1,000 residents. This uptick was driven by a 200% surge in criminal damage and arson cases, which rose from one to three incidents, and a 200% increase in 'other crime' reports, likely encompassing a range of minor offences. Public order offences also rose by 150%, increasing from two to five incidents, a change consistent with the seasonal pressures of November. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 66.7% compared to the previous month, dropping from three to one incident—a decline that may reflect reduced activity during the colder months or improved enforcement in relevant areas. Anti-social behaviour remained significantly above the UK average, with a rate of 1.9 per 1,000 (34.2% of all crimes), compared to the UK average of 1.1 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the need for targeted community engagement strategies, particularly during events like Bonfire Night, which can exacerbate such incidents. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences were 46% below the UK average (1.4 per 1,000 vs 2.6 per 1,000), suggesting that local factors—such as strong community ties or effective policing—may contribute to this lower rate. The significant increase in criminal damage and arson cases may warrant closer attention, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or during events that involve fireworks or public gatherings.

East Leake's November 2024 crime rate of 5.4 per 1,000 residents marked a 15.3% increase compared to the previous month's rate of 4.7, indicating a slight upward trend in overall crime. On a daily basis, this translates to approximately one crime reported per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the area's relatively small population of 7,001 residents. Over the course of the month, this equates to one reported crime for roughly every 184 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average when considering the area's built-up character. The comparison to the previous month highlights the importance of tracking short-term fluctuations, particularly in the context of November's unique seasonal dynamics—such as the impact of dark evenings and holiday-related activities. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the specific composition of crimes in East Leake differs significantly from national trends. For instance, the area's anti-social behaviour rate is 71% above the UK average, suggesting that local factors—such as community interactions or event management—may play a greater role in shaping crime patterns than in other regions. Conversely, the rate of violence and sexual offences in East Leake is 46% below the UK average, a disparity that could be attributed to the area's demographic profile or the effectiveness of local crime prevention initiatives. These comparative insights provide a nuanced understanding of East Leake's crime profile, enabling residents and local authorities to focus on areas requiring targeted intervention while recognizing the area's strengths in maintaining safety compared to broader UK trends.
