East Leake Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For someone living in East Leake, the crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents in November 2025 translates to a daily risk that is starkly lower than the UK average. This built-up area within Rushcliffe experiences crime at a pace that is 54.8% below the national rate, reflecting a safer environment relative to other parts of the country. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (39.1% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.4%) and criminal damage and arson (13.0%). These figures suggest a community grappling with interpersonal tensions and property-related issues. Seasonal factors may have influenced the pattern: Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and the early onset of darker evenings could have contributed to spikes in certain categories. For instance, the rise in violent crimes may be consistent with the heightened activity during festive events, while the drop in anti-social behaviour could reflect reduced foot traffic in public spaces as the month progressed. The relatively low rates of shoplifting and vehicle crime—84% and 75% below UK averages respectively—indicate that commercial areas may be well-secured or that the local population exhibits lower rates of opportunistic theft. This data underscores the importance of context: while the area is not immune to crime, its unique characteristics—such as its small-scale built-up nature and lower population density compared to major urban centres—likely contribute to its comparatively lower crime profile.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends within East Leake. The most significant increase was in burglary, which rose by 100% from zero to one incident—a rare occurrence that may have been influenced by seasonal factors such as the timing of holidays or temporary changes in household security practices. Concurrently, violent crimes increased by 50%, moving from six to nine incidents, a rise that could be tied to the social dynamics of the area during November, including the impact of Bonfire Night and the early winter season. On the other hand, anti-social behaviour plummeted by 69.2%, and vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, both suggesting a reduction in public disorder and improved policing efforts or fewer opportunities for such crimes due to shorter daylight hours. The breakdown of crime types also reveals that East Leake’s violent crime rate is 49% below the UK average (1.3 per 1,000 vs. 2.6 per 1,000), while anti-social behaviour is 43% below the UK rate. These figures highlight the area’s distinct position in the national crime profile, where certain categories are significantly underrepresented. For residents, the low rate of shoplifting—84% below the UK average—may offer reassurance about the security of local retail outlets, though the single burglary incident underscores the need for continued vigilance in property protection.

Compared to the previous month, East Leake’s crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 37.7%, falling from 5.3 to 3.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline suggests a possible stabilization or improvement in local crime management. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while low, still represents a tangible risk for residents. When scaled to the population of 7,001, this translates to one reported crime occurring for every 304 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that, while not alarming, serves as a reminder that crime is not entirely absent from the area. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable when contrasted with the UK-wide average, which would likely be significantly higher given East Leake’s overall lower crime rate. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the relatively small number of incidents: with only 23 crimes reported, the chances of any individual resident being directly affected are low. However, the spike in violent crimes and the single burglary incident underscore that certain risks—particularly those involving interpersonal violence—remain relevant. These figures, when contextualized within the broader demographic and geographic profile of East Leake, suggest that while the area is generally safe, targeted efforts to address specific crime types may still be necessary.
