Rushcliffe Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Rushcliffe's crime rate in November 2023 stood at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 48% below the UK average of 7.5. This significant disparity underscores the area's relatively safer environment compared to the national picture. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (160 incidents, 32.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (92 incidents, 18.8%) and other theft (44 incidents, 9.0%). These figures align with seasonal patterns, as November's darker evenings and events like Bonfire Night may contribute to increased violence and anti-social behaviour. The lower-than-average rates for most crime categories suggest a combination of local factors, including effective policing, community engagement, or demographic characteristics. For instance, the area's violent crime rate is 50% below the UK average, consistent with a lower prevalence of serious incidents. Property crime, while present, remains proportionally lower than the national average, with shoplifting and burglary rates both below UK benchmarks. This profile reflects a balance between typical urban crime pressures and local mitigating factors that appear to reduce overall risk.

November saw a 100% increase in theft from the person, rising from 0 to 3 incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened awareness or specific events during the month. Burglary also rose sharply by 46.7%, likely influenced by Black Friday shopping activity and the seasonality of home-related crime. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 27.3%, potentially linked to reduced traffic or changes in parking patterns. Rushcliffe's violent crime rate (1.3 per 1,000) is 50% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the national profile. The area's anti-social behaviour rate (0.7 per 1,000) is 33% below the UK average, indicating a lower prevalence of disruptive incidents. These variations highlight how local factors can shape crime trends even within a stable overall rate.

Rushcliffe's crime rate in November 2023 remained stable at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no significant short-term shifts in criminal activity, though seasonal factors like darker evenings and Black Friday shopping may still influence patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 16 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the local crime burden without comparison to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 259 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of incidents in a population of 126,736. When scaled to the local context, Rushcliffe's crime profile demonstrates resilience compared to the UK average, with most categories showing marked reductions. This stability, combined with the area's demographic and geographic characteristics, underscores a crime environment that is safer than the national picture.
