Rushcliffe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rushcliffe’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 45.2% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark divergence from national trends underscores the area’s distinct crime profile. Violence and sexual offences dominated with 32.9% of all crimes, followed by shoplifting (12.2%) and anti-social behaviour (10.0%). These figures align with Rushcliffe’s characteristics as a mixed-use local authority with a significant retail sector and community-focused policing initiatives. Seasonal factors likely influenced patterns: Bonfire Night events may have contributed to increased public order incidents, while Black Friday shopping could have driven shoplifting. However, violent crime remains lower than the UK average, with rates 49% below the national figure for this category. The area’s relatively low burglary rates (67% below UK average) may reflect effective community engagement strategies or a lower density of high-value properties. Overall, Rushcliffe’s crime picture illustrates a balance between localized pressures and broader systemic factors, with the November data highlighting both resilience and areas requiring continued attention.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime types, with bicycle theft surging by 450% (from 2 to 11 incidents) and theft from the person rising by 250% (from 2 to 7). These increases may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the dark evenings of November and the potential for increased cycling during the post-Christmas holiday period. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 31.1% (from 74 to 51), possibly reflecting the impact of community events or targeted enforcement during Bonfire Night. Burglary rates also decreased by 36.0% (from 25 to 16), a trend consistent with the area’s historically low burglary rates, which are 67% below the UK average. Bicycle theft in Rushcliffe now exceeds the UK average by 67%, a stark contrast to other categories that remain well below national benchmarks. This divergence highlights the need for tailored interventions, such as enhanced cycle parking infrastructure in high-risk areas. Meanwhile, the sharp drop in possession of weapons (-36.4%) suggests possible success in local anti-violence initiatives, though the overall violent crime rate remains 49% below the UK average.

Rushcliffe’s crime rate in November 2025 (4.0 per 1,000) marked an 8.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.4 per 1,000, indicating a sustained downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 17 crimes per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 249 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, though direct comparisons to national daily figures are not available. When viewed through the lens of Rushcliffe’s population of 126,736, the 508 total crimes recorded represent a manageable burden for local policing resources. The decline in crime rates since last month may be attributed to a combination of seasonal factors, such as the transition into winter reducing outdoor activity, and the continued effectiveness of local crime prevention measures. However, the persistence of certain crime types—particularly bicycle theft—above UK averages suggests that specific vulnerabilities remain, requiring targeted strategies to address these imbalances.
