East Leake Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

East Leake's crime rate for May 2025 stands at 3.3 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 59.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This relatively low rate reflects a consistent pattern of subdued criminal activity in the built-up area within Rushcliffe. The top crime types in the month were anti-social behaviour (26.1% of total incidents), followed by violence and sexual offences (21.7%) and other crime (13.0%). These figures align with the area's character as a largely residential and low-density community, where crime tends to be concentrated in specific pockets rather than widespread. Seasonal factors in May, including bank holidays and extended evening hours, may have contributed to the rise in anti-social behaviour, as outdoor socialising and drinking increase during this period. However, the overall crime profile remains stable, with property crimes (8 incidents) and violent crimes (5 incidents) maintaining a balanced distribution. The UK average comparison further highlights East Leake's position as a safer area than the national average, with violent crime rates particularly subdued. While the presence of 'other crime' at 150% above the UK average raises questions about its nature, the broader trend of sustained low crime rates suggests that community-focused policing and local engagement strategies may be effective. The area's crime picture is shaped by its compact built-up nature, where targeted interventions and strong community ties likely contribute to its lower-than-average crime profile.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in May 2025 was a 200% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 6 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in bicycle theft and other crime, highlights a significant shift in the crime mix. Violent crime, however, saw a notable decline—violence and sexual offences fell by 58.3%, from 12 to 5, a reduction that may reflect seasonal changes or targeted interventions. Anti-social behaviour remains 37% below the UK average (0.9 vs 1.4 per 1,000), while violence and sexual offences are 75% below the national rate (0.7 vs 2.8 per 1,000). Conversely, 'other crime' in East Leake is 150% above the UK average (0.4 vs 0.2 per 1,000), suggesting a need for further investigation into the nature of these incidents. For residents, the 200% increase in anti-social behaviour is a clear data point that may warrant closer attention from local authorities.

East Leake's crime rate in May 2025 (3.3 per 1,000) represents an 11.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.7 per 1,000, marking a continued downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 304 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the built-up area. On a daily basis, East Leake recorded approximately one crime per day, a rate that aligns with its status as a relatively low-crime locality compared to national averages. The population-scaled perspective shows that the area's crime profile remains distinct from the UK's broader trends, with specific categories like anti-social behaviour and violence and sexual offences far below the national average. This contrast underscores the unique characteristics of East Leake, where community-focused policing and local engagement efforts may contribute to sustained reductions in crime. The monthly exposure metric—1 in 304 residents—provides a tangible reference for residents, illustrating that while crime is not absent, its frequency is lower than in many other parts of the country.
