Edwalton Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Edwalton’s crime rate in December 2025 stood at 3.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 52.9% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This marked contrast with national trends highlights the area’s relatively low exposure to crime, a pattern consistent with its character as a small built-up area within Rushcliffe. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.1% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 21.1% and criminal damage at 10.5%. The distribution of crime types suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts rather than property-related incidents, a trend that may reflect the community’s social fabric and local policing priorities. December’s seasonal context—dark evenings, Christmas shopping activity, and the presence of empty homes during the holiday period—likely contributed to fluctuations in crime patterns. While the overall rate remains stable compared to other months, the prominence of violence-related offences may warrant further analysis of local factors such as seasonal social dynamics or community engagement initiatives. The data also shows that Edwalton’s violent crime rate (1.4 per 1,000) is 46% below the UK average for this category, reinforcing the area’s position as a comparatively safer environment. However, the persistence of anti-social behaviour at a rate 25% below the UK average raises questions about the effectiveness of interventions targeting disruptive conduct in public spaces.

December 2025 saw significant month-on-month changes in specific crime categories. Anti-social behaviour increased by 100% (from 2 to 4 incidents), a surge that could be linked to heightened social activity during the festive season. Other theft and vehicle crime also doubled, with the latter reaching 0.4 per 1,000 residents—8% above the UK average for this category. This anomaly in vehicle crime may indicate vulnerabilities in local parking infrastructure or increased vehicle-related activity during the month. Conversely, other crime decreased by 50% (from 2 to 1), a decline that could reflect improved community reporting or targeted enforcement efforts. The breakdown of crime types also reveals a shift in the balance between property and violent crimes: while violent offences accounted for 42.1% of all crimes, property-related incidents (including anti-social behaviour, criminal damage, and theft) made up the remaining 57.9%. This distribution contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes typically constitute a smaller proportion of total reports. For residents, the doubling of vehicle crime offers a concrete data point to consider when assessing personal security measures, particularly in areas with high vehicle turnover or unsecured parking spaces.

Edwalton’s crime rate in December 2025 (3.3 per 1,000) represented an 18.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.8 per 1,000, though it remains well below the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 304 residents—a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents relative to the area’s population of 5,770. On a daily basis, Edwalton experienced approximately one crime per day, a rate that aligns with the area’s historical pattern of minimal criminal activity. This monthly exposure statistic is particularly meaningful for residents, as it provides a tangible sense of the likelihood of encountering crime in everyday life. When viewed through the lens of population scale, Edwalton’s crime rate is exceptionally low, with only 3.3 incidents per 1,000 people compared to the UK’s 7.0. This disparity suggests that factors such as community cohesion, effective policing, or the area’s geographic character may contribute to its safer profile. However, the 18.8% monthly increase in crime rate, while modest, indicates a need for continued monitoring of trends, especially in categories like anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime that showed significant month-on-month growth.
