Rushcliffe Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rushcliffe's crime profile in June 2025 shows a marked contrast to the UK average, with an overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents—42% below the national figure of 8.1. This disparity underscores the area's relative safety, though specific trends within the data reveal pockets of concern. Violence and sexual offences accounted for nearly 30% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (16%) and shoplifting (15%). The seasonal context of June, the start of summer, may contribute to shifts in criminal activity, particularly in retail sectors where shoplifting increased by 23.3% compared to May. This rise, though still below the UK average, highlights the need for targeted interventions during peak shopping periods. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime, remained 44% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or a cultural emphasis on public order. However, the data also shows that while violent crime is significantly lower than the national average, the proportion of property crimes—such as shoplifting and criminal damage—remains higher. This pattern may be influenced by Rushcliffe's mix of urban and rural characteristics, where retail centres and local amenities could drive property-related offences. The area's low crime rate overall, combined with these specific vulnerabilities, illustrates a community that is broadly secure but requires vigilance in particular sectors.

June 2025 saw a 50% increase in robbery cases, with incidents rising from six to nine. This sharp rise, though still low compared to the UK average, warrants attention from residents and local businesses. Shoplifting also surged by 23.3%, with 90 reported cases—11% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This anomaly suggests potential vulnerabilities in retail security, particularly during the summer months when tourism may be on the rise. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 57.1%, from seven to three cases, indicating possible improvements in personal safety awareness or policing efforts. Meanwhile, bicycle theft dropped by 50%, from four to two incidents, a reduction that may reflect increased use of secure storage facilities or seasonal patterns. The data also reveals that violent crime remains significantly below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 1.4 per 1,000—51% lower than the national figure. This contrast highlights the area's unique crime profile, where property-related issues dominate over violent crime.

Rushcliffe's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.8. This slight decline suggests a stabilising trend, though the overall rate remains 42% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 20 crimes per day, a figure that provides context for the frequency of incidents in local communities. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 214 residents, highlighting that while crime is relatively low, it remains a factor in daily life. With a population of 126,736, the monthly exposure figure translates to a 0.0079% chance of being directly affected by crime, a statistic that underscores the area's comparative safety when viewed against the UK average. This context is critical for residents assessing risk and for local organisations planning community initiatives.
