Edwalton Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Edwalton during January 2025 reveals a distinct profile shaped by the area's characteristics as a built-up district within Rushcliffe. With a total crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents—53.5% below the UK average—the data highlights a low incidence of property crimes compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.6% of all crimes, making them the most significant category, though this rate remains 60% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common offence, constituted 21.1% of incidents but was 29% below the UK average, suggesting that local social dynamics may temper such activity. Other theft, the third most frequent category, was 2% above the UK average, indicating a slight divergence in this specific area. Seasonal context plays a role, as January's shorter days and post-holiday lull in retail activity likely contribute to the reduced prevalence of shoplifting and other property-related crimes. The low overall crime rate, coupled with the dominance of interpersonal offences, suggests that Edwalton's relatively small size and community-oriented environment may influence the types of crimes that occur, with limited opportunities for large-scale property crime compared to more densely populated urban areas.

January 2025 saw notable shifts in Edwalton's crime mix, with theft from the person and criminal damage and arson both doubling from zero to one incident each. This contrasts with a 20% decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from five to four incidents. The balance of crime types reveals a particularly low proportion of property crimes (36.8%) compared to the UK average, with property crimes making up only 15.8% of the total. Violence and sexual offences, at 31.6% of all crimes, remain the most prevalent category, but this rate is 60% below the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, which rose to one incident, is 51% below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors—such as limited commuter traffic or secure parking arrangements—may contribute to this disparity. These figures highlight a crime profile that diverges from national trends, with a marked emphasis on interpersonal offences rather than property-related incidents.

Edwalton's crime rate in January 2025 rose by 18.8% compared to the previous month's 2.8 per 1,000, reaching 3.3 per 1,000. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns that may align with seasonal factors such as the post-holiday period and reduced retail activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the monthly increase. When scaled to the population of 5,770 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 304 residents—a statistic that provides a tangible sense of risk for local residents. While the overall rate remains significantly below the UK average, the month-on-month movement suggests a need to monitor trends closely, particularly as the local context of a built-up area within Rushcliffe may influence how crime manifests compared to larger urban centres.
