Rushcliffe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rushcliffe’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.0 crimes per 1,000 residents, placing the area 45.2% below the UK average of 7.3. This stark contrast to national trends highlights the district’s relatively secure environment. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 32.9% of all reported crimes, followed by shoplifting (12.2%) and anti-social behaviour (10.0%). These figures suggest a crime profile shaped by both community-focused policing and the area’s seasonal rhythms. November, with its dark evenings and high-street retail activity around Black Friday, may contribute to the prevalence of shoplifting and public order incidents. However, the significant underperformance relative to the UK average in categories like anti-social behaviour (62% below) and burglary (67% below) underscores the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies. The relatively low rate of violent crime compared to the UK average (49% below for violence and sexual offences) may reflect a combination of community engagement initiatives and the area’s demographic makeup, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this. As the year draws to a close, the data illustrates a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime rates in Rushcliffe, despite the challenges posed by seasonal factors.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Rushcliffe. Bicycle theft surged by 450%, rising from 2 to 11 incidents, likely linked to increased cycling activity during the darker winter months. Theft from the person also spiked by 250%, climbing from 2 to 7 cases, which may reflect the higher foot traffic associated with Black Friday shopping. Conversely, anti-social behaviour declined by 31.1% (74 to 51), and burglary dropped by 36.0% (25 to 16), suggesting that targeted interventions or seasonal lulls may have contributed to these decreases. While most crime categories remained well below the UK average, a surprising anomaly emerged: bicycle theft in Rushcliffe was 67% above the national rate of 0.1 per 1,000. This divergence from the UK norm could indicate a unique local factor, such as a growing cycling population or inadequate bike storage infrastructure. Meanwhile, possession of weapons saw a 36.4% decline (11 to 7), aligning with broader national trends of reduced weapon-related incidents. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime and the importance of context-specific analysis when interpreting monthly data.

Rushcliffe’s crime rate in November 2025 (4.0 per 1,000) represents an 8.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.4, indicating a continuing downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 17 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the persistent need for local vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 249 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic translates to a lived experience where residents are less likely to encounter crime than their counterparts nationally, though it does not eliminate the risk entirely. With a population of 126,736, the absolute number of crimes (508) may seem low, but the proportional context reveals a community that has consistently outperformed national benchmarks in recent months. The comparison also highlights the importance of population scaling: while the UK’s average rate is nearly double Rushcliffe’s, the absolute number of crimes in the district remains manageable. This contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies and community engagement efforts, which appear to be sustaining a safer environment despite the seasonal challenges of November.
